+System Requirements
+===================
+
+I2C Driver
+----------
+In order to use the I2C driver, you system -- in particular, your I2C driver --
+must meet certain requirements:
+
+1. It support calling up_i2cinitialize() numerous times, resetting the I2C
+   hardware on each (initial) time.  up_i2cuninitialize() will be called after
+   each call to up_i2cinitialize() to free any resources and disable the I2C.
+2. up_i2cinitialize must accept any interface number without crashing.  It
+   must simply return NULL if the device is not supported.
+3. The I2C driver must support the transfer method (CONFIG_I2C_TRANSFER=y).
+
+The I2C tool is designed to be implemented as a NuttShell (NSH) add-on.  Read
+the apps/nshlib/README.txt file for information about add-ons.
+
+Configuration Options
+---------------------
+CONFIG_I2CTOOL_BUILTIN - Build the tools as an NSH built-in command
+CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MINBUS - Smallest bus index supported by the hardware (default 0).
+CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MAXBUS - Largest bus index supported by the hardware (default 3)
+CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MINADDR - Minium device address (default: 0x03)
+CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MAXADDR - Largest device address (default: 0x77)
+CONFIG_I2CTOOL_MAXREGADDR - Largest register address (default: 0xff)
+CONFIG_I2CTOOL_DEFFREQ - Default frequency (default: 4000000)
