Hi Guys,

I can't install the i2c-tools with opkg is there any other solution?

Unknown package 'i2c-tools'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package i2c-tools.

greetings

Just did a quick search: you're right, there is no i2c-tools package in the 8dev openwrt repository [1].
No binary package, that is.

So you could (1) build it yourself from the carambola OpenWRT sources, or (2), if there's also no such package, you could try to build an all vanilla (RT3050) firmware and package from the official OpenWRT sources [2].

Hi,
I was the same poblem. I found it in packages of openwrt.

# wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a ... ramips.ipk
# opkg install i2c-tools_3.0.3-1_ramips.ipk

# i2cdetect 0
