Board ID EEPROM Interface
The J721E EVM boards are identified by its version and serial number, which are stored in the onboard
EEPROM. The EEPROM is accessible from WKUP I2C0 port of J721E processor.
The board ID EEPROM I2C slave address of various boards are listed in the I2C mapping table.
The J721E SoM board includes a CAV24C256WEI2C EEPROM ID memory. The first 259 bytes of
addressable EEPROM memory are preprogrammed with identification information for each board. The
remaining 32509 bytes are available to the user for data or code storage.
