Caution
If you're looking for Microchip 24LC512 linux kernel module - use upstream at24 module instead.
This module is strictly for learning purposes!
Device Tree section for 24LC512 using at24 module, make sure to put it into appropriate i2c section:
m24lc512_eeprom: eeprom@50 {
compatible = "microchip,24lc512", "atmel,24c512";
reg = <0x50>;
size = 65536;
address-width = 16;
pagesize = 128;
};
Install linux kernel headers, gcc, make on your favorite linux distribution and then run make. Module can be inserted using insmod and remove rmmod. Do keep in mind you will need to have device tree configured to make sure module detects hw. Device tree can be used the same as above though other than reg and compatible the rest of parameters are ignored.
