+Partial command. After sending this command, the testunit will reply to a read
+message with a NUL terminated version string based on UTS_RELEASE. The first
+character is always a 'v' and the length of the version string is at maximum
+128 bytes. However, it will only respond if the read message is connected to
+the write message via repeated start. If your controller driver handles
+repeated start correctly, this will work::
+
+ # i2ctransfer -y 0 w3@0x30 4 0 0 r128
+ 0x76 0x36 0x2e 0x31 0x31 0x2e 0x30 0x2d 0x72 0x63 0x31 0x2d 0x30 0x30 0x30 0x30 ...

+If you have i2c-tools 4.4 or later, you can print out the data right away::
+
+ # i2ctransfer -y -b 0 w3@0x30 4 0 0 r128
+ v6.11.0-rc1-00009-gd37a1b4d3fd0
+
+STOP/START combinations between the two messages will *not* work because they
+are not equivalent to a REPEATED START. As an example, this returns just the
+default response::
+
+ # i2cset -y 0 0x30 4 0 0 i; i2cget -y 0 0x30

+This test raises an interrupt via the SMBAlert pin which the host controller
+must handle. The pin must be connected to the testunit as a GPIO. GPIO access
+is not allowed to sleep. Currently, this can only be described using firmware
+nodes. So, for devicetree, you would add something like this to the testunit
+node::
+
+ gpios = <&gpio1 24 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+
+The following command will trigger the alert with a response of 0xc9 after 1
+second of delay::
+
+ # i2cset -y 0 0x30 5 0xc9 0x00 100 i
+
+If the host controller supports SMBusAlert, this message with debug level
+should appear::
+
+ smbus_alert 0-000c: SMBALERT# from dev 0x64, flag 1
+
+This message may appear more than once because the testunit is software not
+hardware and, thus, may not be able to react to the response of the host fast
+enough. The interrupt count should increase only by one, though::
+
+ # cat /proc/interrupts | grep smbus_alert
+ 93: 1 gpio-rcar 26 Edge smbus_alert
+
+If the host does not respond to the alert within 1 second, the test will be
+aborted and the testunit will report an error.
+
+For this test, the testunit will shortly drop its assigned address and listen
+on the SMBus Alert Response Address (0x0c). It will reassign its original
+address afterwards.
