[U-Boot-Users] 512-Bytes EEPROM

[VanBaren, Gerald (AGRE)]

Hi Bruno,

If you look in .../common/soft_i2c.c you will find the following:

#ifdef CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW
	/*
	 * EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
	 * like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
	 * address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address"
	 * bit slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like
	 * four 256 byte chips.
	 *
	 * Note that we consider the length of the address field to
	 * still be one byte because the extra address bits are
	 * hidden in the chip address.
	 */
	chip |= ((addr >> (alen * 8)) & CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW);

	PRINTD("i2c_read: fix addr_overflow: chip %02X addr %02X\n",
		chip, addr);
#endif

The EEPROM you are using apparently uses the "overflow" method of addressing beyond the first 256 bytes.
