sysfs - /sys/bus/i2c/devices is empty ?

[Karthik BalaGuru T]

Hi ,

The base kernel package(amd64 - 3.16-lts) that I brought up in intel atom processor based board seems to not have the devices listed in /sys/bus/i2c/devices folder of sysfs. Can someone let me know what possible reason could be for the emptiness of the /sys/bus/i2c/devices folder ? What is the missing piece or step here that should be brought in for getting the devices listed in /sys/bus/i2c/devices folder?

Thanks in advance,
Karthik Balaguru

You have to get rid of disclaimer first.
