EEPROM Connections
- The EEPROM connections are on I2C and have on-board pullup resistors.
- The connections are local to the card.
- The EEPROM part number is CAT24C256WI-GT3 [1]
J11 - WE
- Install for write enable
- Remove for write protect

cd ~/pyBBB/BBB-GVS-3/blink-BBB-GVS-3/src python blink-BBB-GVS-3.py
- Lights will circulate around the card in a ring
- CTRL-C to end test
I2C Testing/EEPROM Programming
- Go to directory
- Program the EEPROM
- Verify by typing
cd ~/pyBBB/BBB-GVS-3/mkeeprom cat data.eeprom > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0054/eeprom cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0054/eeprom | hexdump -C
- Result should be like -
