    Hello,



    I have installed debian 11 (Bullseye) 64 on my RPI 3b + and want to use the
    i2c bus on the GPIO pins.



    Is there a tutorial that covers installing the necessary files?

    I2C can probably be done, but its not I2C thats the star on gpio pins,
    its SPI, which can talk to a peripheral at 41 something megabaud using a
    32bit packet format, and reading the 32 bit packet response at 25
    megabaud. On either a pi3b or a pi4b.

    It does use transmission line critical terminations but in 4 years of
    running a 1500 lb industrial lathe with it, I have yet to log a mistaken packet.

    Is there a tutorial that covers installing the necessary files?

    Get a modified buster install for arm64 dvd iso from linuxcnc.org is one possibility, but you'll need a preempt-rt kernal, but I am useing a pi
    built realtime preempt kernal on a raspian buster install.

    I have spare blood, so I'm also running the master version of LinuxCNC,
    updated at least daily, either self built from github, or from the
    linuxcnc buildbot. Its pretty easy, the surprise to most is that I'm 87
    yo.

    Here is the sign--on showing the com rates when talking to a mesa 7i90HD interface card over that SPI bus:
    pi@rpi4:/media/pi/workspace $ linuxcnc -l

    That card goes on to define what those 72 i/0 pins are used for, but that

    Which peripheral do you have connected to which i2c bus? Assuming there
    is a already a driver in den Debian kernel for your device the only
    thing you need to do is to create an device-tree overlay, put it into
    the firmware partition and let it apply by the right spell in config.txt.

    Best regards
    Uwe
