VoodooI2C is a project consisting of macOS kernel extensions that add support for I2C bus devices. The project is split into two main components: the core extension and various other satellite extensions.
The core is the VoodooI2C.kext kernel extension. This kext is intended to be installed by anyone whose computer requires some form of I2C support. It consists of I2C controller drivers and is responsible for publishing device nubs to the IOService plane.
The satellites are a collection of various kernel extensions that implement support for a specific type of I2C device. An example of a satellite kext is VoodooI2CHID.kext which adds support for I2C-HID devices. Usually a user will install one satellite kext per class of I2C device.
The following Intel I2C controllers are fully supported:
INT33C2andINT33C3- Haswell eraINT3432andINT3433- Broadwell erapci8086,9d60,pci8086,9d61,pci8086,a160andpci8086,a161- Skylake/Kabylake era
The following device classes are fully supported:
- I2C-HID devices
- ELAN devices
- FTE devices
Note that there is sometimes an overlap between device classes. For example, some ELAN devices may also be I2C-HID devices.
