As shared by Robert [1], the command to retrieve the serial number is as follows:
sudo hexdump -e '8/1 "%c"' /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0050/eeprom -n 28 | cut -b 5-28 Is there anyway to get the serial number without using sudo? My use case is that I wish to let other programs use the serial number, but I do not wish for these progams to have sudo privilege. What are the possible approaches?
