1.8 I2C Driver Synchronous - I2C EEPROM

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

Description

This example uses the I2C driver in synchronous mode to communicate with the EEPROM to perform write and read operations in RTOS environment. This application uses I2C driver to read and write data to EEPROM 3 click board that has AT24CM02 EEPROM on it..
