+ * @defgroup I2C I2C Driver
+ * @brief Generic I2C Driver.
+ * @details This module implements a generic I2C driver.
+ * @pre In order to use the ADC driver the @p CH_HAL_USE_I2C option
+ * must be enabled in @p halconf.h.
+ *
+ * @section i2c_1 Driver State Machine
+ * The driver implements a state machine internally, not all the driver
+ * functionalities can be used in any moment, any transition not explicitly
+ * shown in the following diagram has to be considered an error and shall
+ * be captured by an assertion (if enabled).
+ * @if LATEX_PDF
+ * @else
+ * @endif
+ *
+ * The driver is not thread safe for performance reasons, if you need to access
+ * the I2C bus from multiple thread then use the @p i2cAcquireBus() and
+ * @p i2cReleaseBus() APIs in order to gain exclusive access.
+ *
+ * @ingroup IO
