TCA9543A: How can scan i2c device connected to TCA9543A ?

Hi, experts

Address 0x70 for this TCA9543APWR product is being scanned by the host.

Currently we've connected i2c devices (MAX96714GTJ/VY+T) to TCA9543APWR via CAM1_I2C and CAM0_I2C net, but it doesn't seem to be scanned.

When I o-scope i2c from host (SOC_I2C2) before passing TCA9543A, good signaling of i2c detected
but when I o-scope i2c after the MUX (CAM0/CAM1_I2C) there were no signal detected.

If the device has a lower level i2c devices connected to CAM1_I2C or CAM0_I2C, is it correct that the devices is scanned without any special settings on the host?

If there is something to set to scan devices please let me know.

Scanning is done with normal I²C accesses. So devices on a channel are scanned only if that channel is enabled.

The host must configure the switch correctly before scanning each channel.

This was guidance for configuring each channel to enable i2c in the data sheet.
I could scan slave devices by this cmd. Thanks.

Setting bus to 3
=> i2c probe
Valid chip addresses: 70
=> i2c mw 0x70 0x1 0x2
=> i2c probe
Valid chip addresses: 2A 40 50 6D 70

Please note that the TCA9543A has only a single control register and no register address, so only a single byte should be written. In this case, only the last byte written (0x2) has an effect; the previous byte (0x1) is ignored.

so then what is the full cmd for this case?

when I perform like this , there is no value for the device so error occurs

=> i2c mw 0x70 0x2

i2c mw chip address[.0, .1, .2] value [count] - write to I2C device (fill)

and one more thing.

what does that mean chip address[.0, .1, .2] at description ? should we type 0 1 or 2 after chip address?

As far as I can see, uboot requires the suffix to be the address length. The TCA9543A does not have a register address, so you have to use zero:

i2c mw 0x70 0.0 0x2
