# 1.8 I2C Driver Asynchronous - I2C EEPROM

This example application shows how to use the I2C driver in asynchronous mode to perform operations on the EEPROM.

## Description

This example uses the I2C driver in asynchronous mode to communicate with the EEPROM to perform write and read operations in Bare-Metal environment. This application uses I2C driver to read and write data from an AT24CM02 EEPROM device.

### Setting Up SAM DA1 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit

- To run the demo, the following additional hardware are required:
  - One EEPROM 3 Click board
  - One mikroBUS Xplained Pro boards
- Connect mikroBUS Xplained Pro board to EXT1 header
- Plug the EEPROM 3 click Board into the mikroBUS socket of the mikroBUS Xplained Pro board
- Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable

## Running the Application

1. Build and program the application using its IDE
2. LED indicates success or failure:
   - The LED is turned ON when the value read from the EEPROM matched with the written value

Refer to the following table for LED name:
