Raspberry PI 25LC010A EEPROM Howto

Posted on 6 September, 2012 by Jotschi This article will explain how to get a SPI connection working using the Raspberry PI GPIO pins. Hardware: I used the Adafruit pi cobbler to connect the GPIO header with my breadboard. The 25LC010a eeprom chip is a small eeprom chip. The datasheet can be found here. Software: I used the default raspbian image for the raspberry pi. The wiringpi toolchain contains some neat little programs and libraries to get I2C and SPI working with the raspberry pi. 1. Disable the blacklist by adding a # in front of each line because you will need the SPI kernel module:

1. /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf 2. Reboot the PI 3. Install wiringPI as described here.

sudo apt-get install git-core git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi cd wiringPi ./build

4. Use the build gpio tool to load and setup SPI

1. gpio load spi 5. Connect the IC as shown in this image:

The two resistors are very important because they are used to pullup the SCK and MOSI pin. The eeprom works with 5V or 3.3V. I used 3.3V because the GPIO pins only tolerate 3.3V input. Higher voltage might damage your board.

6. Compile the source file. You can use this make file:
