Yes, ok...

My PPC cpu is an embedded one: 405EP and firmware is U-Boot.

Yes, I think you mean I2CPtr->I2CPutBits & I2CPtr->I2CGetBits for clock an data. The driver I
use(Silicon Motion) sets this functions correctly.

So when we come to the original poster's question, if I dont understand the subject wrongly, he can
do DDC just using libddc.a after loading and setting I2C?
