Description (last modified by Joel Sherrill)

lseek() doesn't seem to work when reading an I2C EEPROM on MVME3100 (PowerPC).

To reproduce:

  • Open EEPROM device
  • lseek() to some other offset
  • Read from EEPROM device

The read will complete as if the lseek() never occured.

Looking at the underlying i2c read functions in cpukit, I don't see any reference to offset, so I'm guessing this is unimplemented for I2C reads.

However, it appears that it did once work (EPICS on RTEMS uses lseek() to read NVRAM values from I2C EEPROM.)

Cheers - Angus

Something went wrong with the Bugzilla to trac conversion. The patch is completely unrelated to this ticket.

I will not work on a fixes for libi2c stuff. I suggest to use the new I2C framework. The new I2C EEPROM device supports lseek().
