PTH's embedded Raspberrypi tools and tweaks
I2C
Enable I2C support by configuring the interface with raspi-config and do a reboot to load the kernel drivers.
Check if the kernel drivers were loaded at startup:
lsmod | grep i2c
For a Raspi 3B the result should look something like this:
i2c_bcm2835 16384 0
i2c_dev 20480 0
Then, install the following packages to do some basic i2c tinkering:
sudo aptitude install i2c-tools
