[Manjaro][SOLVED] I2C doesn't start with overlay settings

Hello everyone,

I'm testing my Argon One Daemon project on Manjaro Linux, My overlay should automatically load the I2C bus however this isn't working i tried to get it working with the manual

Code: Select all

param=i2c_arm=on
into the config.txt however no joy.

I installed Manjaro with PINN as I wanted to test multiple OS's without using a bunch of SD cards. I've not used Arch much at all I would have thought the procedure to enable i2c would have been the same.

I read about using modprobe is this the only way?

Thanks

I solved it,

The answer was to create /etc/modules-load.d/raspberrypi.conf and add the following lines

Code: Select all

i2c-dev
I2c-bcm2708
Now my project works.
