1.6 I2C EEPROM AT24 Driver - EEPROM Read Write
This example application shows how to use the AT24 driver to perform read and write operations on AT24 series of EEPROM.
Description
This example uses the AT24 driver to communicate with I2C based External AT24CM0 series EEPROMs to perform write and read operations in Bare-Metal environment.

Setting Up SAMA7D65 Curiosity Board
- One EEPROM 3 Click board
- Install the EEPROM 3 Click board on to the mikroBUS1 connector
- Connect the USBA port J3 on the board to the computer using a Type-C USB cable (to power the board)
Running the Application
- Build the application using its IDE
- LED is turned ON when the data read from EEPROM matches with the written data
