 +==== Workaround ====
 +A workaround for Arch Linux:\\
 +
 +
 +Add the I2C kernel module:\\
 +   $ sudo modprobe i2c-dev
 +Check your I2C devices:\\
 +   $ ls /dev/
 +You should find somthing like:  **i2c-0  i2c-1  i2c-2 ...**\\ 
 +Install the I2C tools:\\
 +   $ sudo pacman -S i2c-tools
 +or on Debian:\\
 +   $ sudo apt-get install -y i2c-tools
 +Find your device:\\
 +   $ i2cdetect -l
 +The result could look like:\\
 +    i2c-1 unknown    i915 gmbus vga                  N/A
 +Looking for an I2C device
 +   $ sudo i2cdetect -y 1
 +It should tell you the address of your I2C device.\\
 +Now you can comunicate to your devices with these commands:\\
 +   $ i2cget
 +   $ i2cset
 +   $ i2cdump
