| 13 | The Savage4 chips contain two I2C interfaces (aka a I2C 'master' or |
| 14 | 'host'). |
| 15 | |
| 16 | The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) which is a |
| 17 | serial channel through the VGA monitor connector to a DDC-compliant |
| 18 | monitor. This interface is defined by the Video Electronics Standards |
| 19 | Association (VESA). The standards are available for purchase at |
| 20 | http://www.vesa.org . The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus. |
