Tizen Native API
I2C

The I2C API provides functions to control I2C peripherals connected to the IoT device.

Required Header

#include <peripheral_io.h>

Overview

This I2C API provides functions to control I2C peripherals connected to the IoT device.

Realted Features

This API is related with the following feature:

It is recommended to use features in your application for reliability.

You can check if a IoT device supports the related features for this API
by using System Information, and control your application's actions accordingly.

To ensure your application is only running on the IoT device with specific features,
please define the features in your manifest file using the manifest editor in the SDK.

More details on featuring your application can be found from Feature Element.
