With Pi4J, I can communicate with I2C with Java. But is there any way I can communicate with I2C with Java, without Pi4J. Just by using Linux internal...shell-ish...command?
I want to read and write data.

Not Pi specific. The I2C device is implemented as a file. If Java allows you to read and write files you can use I2C.– joanCommented Oct 8, 2020 at 9:21

@joan How can I do that? Can I use ProcessBuilder to work with the file? Any commands etc?– euraadCommented Oct 8, 2020 at 9:23

This has nothing to do with the Pi. This is the wrong site for the question.– joanCommented Oct 8, 2020 at 10:19

Implementation example available here: https://github.com/mattjlewis/diozero/tree/master/diozero-core/src/main/java/com/diozero/internal/provider/builtin/i2c Two versions, one via JNI, the other using a Java RandomAccessFile. Note that for the second Java implementation a small bit of C code is required to run an ioctl command to setup the file for I2C (I2C select slave).
