Hello.
I just installed OpenWRT on a ROCK Pi E (in order to replace an existing RPi4/OpenWRT setup).
Everything works pretty good, no issue, no surprise, but I struggle with one thing: how to activate the i2c module? which kmod to install?
I have installed the pkg kmod-i2c-core and i2c-tools, rebooted, I have well a device “/dev/i2c-1” but no i2c module are loaded (lsmod | grep i2c
returns nothing) and i2detect does not give the i2c address.
# i2cdetect -y 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f

I probably need to install a ‘kmod’ but which one?
I looked in the SBC specs, googled every possible search terms, but I can’t find an answer to this question.
Could someone point me to the right direction?
Thank you.
PS: my goal is to use LCDProc with a hd44780 and an i2c interface (which works on my existing RPi4/OpenWRT)
