How can I scan for available I2C devices on the bus? Am getting the error

Could not open file /dev/i2c-1: No such file or directory

Could not open file /dev/i2c-1: No such file or directory

Could not open file /dev/i2c-1: No such file or directory

Could not open file /dev/i2c-1: No such file or directory, I have ensured the I2C device tree overlay is loaded using

echo BB-I2C1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots

echo BB-I2C1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots

echo BB-I2C1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots

echo BB-I2C1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots, what could be wrong
Here's my prompt

     i2cdetect -y -r 1

     i2cdetect -y -r 1

     i2cdetect -y -r 1

     i2cdetect -y -r 1

Solution

It seems like you are encountering an error while trying to scan for available I2C devices on the bus. The error message you mentioned,

Could not open file /dev/i2c-1: No such file or directory

Could not open file /dev/i2c-1: No such file or directory

Could not open file /dev/i2c-1: No such file or directory

Could not open file /dev/i2c-1: No such file or directory

, indicates that the I2C device file is not being recognized, what type of i2c model are you using
