Tom,
It's like eeprom write but it writes to general devices, not specificly to system eeprom. I would have to use i2c mw command a lot without this.
Right. I guess what I'm getting at is, are you writing to some sort of other device or writing bits to storage attached to i2c? Does it really not make sense to just use 'eeprom write' even if it's not technically for The System EEPROM but rather some storage (or a number of storage chips) attached via i2c?
I'm not objecting to i2c write mind you, I was wishing for something like this when I stumbled on CONFIG_CMD_EEPROM which did what I needed.
Tom,
I have a case under debugging where I need to use i2c write to devices. One device (EEPROM) has two-byte address length and most others (including other EEPROMs) have one byte address length. I also have other non-storage devices but I wouldn't use "i2c write" because "i2c mw" will be sufficient. eeprom command has its limitation for the case of variable device address and variable address length.
