Software

The n900 software driving I2C comes in three flavours.

Firstly, there are a large number of kernel drivers.

Then, there are a small number of devices 'bit banged' through I2C ioctls - BME for example does this.

Finally, there are probably some I2C components in the Rapuyama and assorted cellphone/GPS hardware. These are not visible to the casual developer. (you have to open the n900 and probe stuff, or hack the phone firmware).
