+==== Use of Linux kernel drivers ====
+Some I²C devices have their drivers directly in the linux kernel allowing an access directly through file system. It applies to following MLAB modules:
+  * [[en:usbi2c]]
+  * [[en:i2chub]]
+  * [[en:i2cspi]]
+Due to the fact that, in principle, I²C is not a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_and_play|plug-and-play]] bus, every connected device must be explicitly reported to the kernel. A general procedure of such connection is via a following command:
+  echo driver's_name i2c_adresa > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-X/new_device
+Linux kernel will take control of I²C device - such state can be seen in i2cdetect list labeled as UU. Details concerning the initialisation can be further found in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmesg|dmesg]].
