Abstract
A method for emulating a dual-port I2C device includes monitoring a bus for I2C traffic. A system receives an I2C interrupt on the bus. The system determines whether the received I2C interrupt is one of either a hardware interrupt or a software interrupt. In the event the received I2C interrupt is a hardware interrupt, the system responds to the hardware interrupt, and accesses a flash memory for read/write operation based on the hardware interrupt. In the event the received I2C interrupt is a software interrupt, the system responds to the software interrupt, and accesses a flash memory for read/write operation based on the software interrupt.
