Valid addresses for the MAX6874 are 0x50, 0x52, 0x54 and 0x56.

addresses. For example, for address 0x50, it also reserves 0x51.
@@ -58,52 +69,67 @@ Programming the chip using i2c-dev
----------------------------------
Use the i2c-dev interface to access and program the chips.
+
Reads and writes are performed differently depending on the address range.
The configuration registers are at addresses 0x00 - 0x45.
+
Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to write a register and
i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() to read a register.
+
The command is the register number.
Examples:
-To write a 1 to register 0x45:
+
+To write a 1 to register 0x45::
+
i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x45, 1);
-To read register 0x45:
+To read register 0x45::
+
value = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(fd, 0x45);
The configuration EEPROM is at addresses 0x8000 - 0x8045.
+
The user EEPROM is at addresses 0x8100 - 0x82ff.
Use i2c_smbus_write_word_data() to write a byte to EEPROM.
The command is the upper byte of the address: 0x80, 0x81, or 0x82.
-The data word is the lower part of the address or'd with data << 8.
+The data word is the lower part of the address or'd with data << 8::

+
+To write 0x5a to address 0x8003::
+
i2c_smbus_write_word_data(fd, 0x80, 0x5a03);
Reading data from the EEPROM is a little more complicated.
+
Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to set the read address and then
i2c_smbus_read_byte() or i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() to read the data.
Example:
-To read data starting at offset 0x8100, first set the address:

- or
+or::
count = i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(fd, 0x84, 16, buffer);
The block read should read 16 bytes.

0x84 is the block read command.
