The DS100RT410 datasheet does not detail the SMbus, instead referring to "http://smbus.org/specs/".
Does the DS100RT410 conform to SMbus specification version 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0?
Does the DS100RT410 use packet error checking (PEC) on SMbus transactions?
What SMbus protocols does the DS100RT410 support: send/receive byte, write/read byte/word, block write/read?
These details are necessary to write software to communicate with the DS100RT410 over the SMbus.
The TI Analog LaunchPAD software communicates with the DS100DF410EVK eval board over USB. Is this a virtual com port over USB model? Would the ALP software function properly with a FTDI USB to I2C chip (FT200XD) connected to the DS100RT410 SMbus and the FTDI vcom drivers?
