 I2C TOOLS FOR LINUX
 ===================

 project but were finally split into their own package for convenience. The
 library is used by some of the tools, but can also be used by third-party
 applications. The tools and library compile, run and have been tested on

+## Implemented Changes
 
-The latest version of the code can be downloaded from:
-  http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/I2CTools
+ * By default i2-tools/py-smbus module does not provide an option to forcefully open a i2c-device-address (for safe reasons). But i2get command gives option `-y` to read/write.
+ * Added the `write_i2c_block` and `read_i2c_block` methods
 
+At now the python-smbus seems to be surpassed by new implementation [python-smbus2](https://github.com/kplindegaard/smbus2) which is a drop in replacement in most cases.

+tools, and `make install` to install them. You also can use `make uninstall`
 to remove all the files you installed. By default, files are installed in
 /usr/local but you can change the location by editing the Makefile file and
 setting prefix to wherever you want. You may change the C compiler and the
 compilation flags as well, and also decide whether to build the static
 library or not.

+Optionally, you can run `make strip` prior to `make install` if you want
 smaller binaries. However, be aware that this will prevent any further
 attempt to debug the library and tools.
 
+In case of installation on Ubuntu, is useffull to use [checkinstall utility](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall), which installs the i2c-tools as a deb package.  
+
 If you wish to include sub-directories that are not enabled by default, then
 just set them via the EXTRA make variable. For example, to build py-smbus,
 do:
+```
   $ make EXTRA="py-smbus"
+```
 
+Do not forget to run `sudo ldconfig` after `make install` and `sudo python setup.py install`
