Hey Allan,

I'm not sure what you mean - the DRV8830 is just the motor driver and it won't matter what OS your controller is using to run it. You will have to follow your own guide for setting up SPI communication with SDA and SCL lines for it, that will depend on your hardware, ex what board you're running linux on whether it's a raspberry pi or a desktop computer or what.

The DRV8830EVM is a hardware only EVM and doesn't even have USB for a computer connection. Here's its user guide.

Hi Jacob,

The DRV8830 seems i2c interface. We are just wondering if we have existing Linux driver for DRV8830 I2C can share.

Hey Allan,

If you have a USB2ANY interface adapter you could use the USB2ANY Explorer Software to communicate via I2C, but it only has Windows installation.

You'll need some form of hardware device to talk between your computer and the board via I2C. Look for Linux drivers for your specific hardware device. For example, perhaps the Adafruit FT232H which details how to set it up on linux.
