Controlling I2C Devices from U-Boot
The I2C command in U-Boot allows reading and writing to I2C devices connected to an embedded system. This can be very useful for testing devices or quickly reading/writing values stored in I2C EEPROMs.

Cascaded integrator–comb (CIC) filters
CIC filters are computationally efficient implementations of narrowband lowpass filters. They are particularly suited for use as an anti-aliasing filter when decimating or an anti-image filter when interpolating. CIC filters are well suited for implementation in FPGAs and ASICs as they only require addition and subtraction operations and not multiplication.
