SPBCx API's to access I2C slave [connected to Intel Platform Control Hub[PCH]]

[RC Reddy]

Hi,

I have a i2c slave device connected to PCH [platform controller Hub].

I need to access it from Windows application [windows 10 OS]. in this regard, i have the following questions

Windows application<--windows 10 os-->main intel chip <--OPI--> PCH <--I2C--> i2c client device.

[1]. Add node [related to I2C slave details] in the ACPI statically. or use ASL Compiler to add it dynamically [run time] ?

[2]. I2C controller [in the PCH] which is controlled by these Driver used by SPBCx APIs?

[3] what is this simple peripheral bus? is it some software level virtual bus or is it related to the software path to the I2C controller?

can you please relate simple peripheral bus to any hardware or path ?

[4] if i understand rhproxy API's are only applicable only in WINDOWS IOT, not windows 10?

[5] I2CTesttool works only on windows IOT. Can it be also used in windows 10?

[6] Assuming i have a i2c slave device connected to PCH and ACPI is correctly populated with correct node details, can i use I2CTesttool?

Thanks
