root@var-som-mx6:~# i2cdump -f -y 2 0x53

​Hello,

Please be aware that memory addresses are coded on 2 bytes in the ST25DV04K. You may try 0x53 0x00 0x00 0x01 (the 0x00 0x00 are the memory address pointer and 0x01 is the data to be written).

Best regards.

Hello Mpraj.19,

From my understanding, you cannot use i2cset and i2cdump to consistently access the ST25DV-I2C memory, because this device requires 2 bytes for internal address (while these commands only accept 1 byte of register address).

Maybe the first byte written of i2cset could be used as the 2nd addressing byte, but this trick cannot work for the i2cdump.

Also, the ST25DV-I2C as an internal address counter and when you do an "i2cdump -f -y 2 0x53" you're actually reading from this internal address counter (and not from offset 0).

Please note as well that after a write the internal address counter poinst to the next address after the one that was written.

However I'm pleased to let you know that we just released the STSW-ST25DV007 software package providing a Linux user space driver for the ST25DV-I2C, available here:

This software package comes with a User Manual for easy ramp-up.
