To communicate with peripherals the embedded systems mainly use the serial communication. Hence serial communication plays a vital role in designing embedded systems. The protocols used for serial communication are Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART), Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), Universal Serial Bus (USB), Control Access Network (CAN) and Inter IC Protocol (I2C). The characteristics of serial communication protocol are high speed and low data loss, ensure the data transfer and simplifying the system level design. This paper provides an overview of I2C-Bus, I2C protocol and its interfacing. The paper also demonstrates the I2C protocol using BeagleBone.
