5.3 I2C ID Memory

The Processor Module and LCD Module boards each have a dedicated I2C EEPROM which contains specific identity/configuration information for that board. In addition, there is available space in each memory for user specific configuration information.

The part number of the memory device is pn#CAT24C256WI-G.
