The i.MX6 supports standard I2C at 100khz, or using fast mode for 400khz operation. The CPU has 2 I2C buses used on the TS-4100.

I2C 1 is internal to the TS-4100 and connects just to the onboard Silabs supervisory microcontroller at 100khz.

/dev/i2c-0
Address Device
0x4a #Silabs

The second I2C bus is brought out on CN2_28 (SCL) and CN2_30 (SDA). This is shared with the onboard FPGA and it goes offboard. This bus also runs at 400khz by default.

/dev/i2c-2
Address Device
0x28-0x2f #FPGA
Note: It is also possible to request the kernel to bitbang additional I2C buses as needed. See an example here.

The kernel makes the I2C available at /dev/i2c-#. You can use the i2c-tools (i2cdetect, i2cget, i2cset), or you can write your own client.
