I 2 c requires a mere two wires, like asynchronous serial, but those two wires can support up to 1008 slave devices. The implementing a test slave can be done with a microcontroller that could be used for slave development. But it is not limited to the use of arduinos special sdascl pins, you can use any pins. The i2c protocol does not allow the master to send data and receive data in a single transaction. Consequently, you have to perform a write transaction to specify the register address and then a separate read transaction to retrieve the data.
Master driver s3c2440 which is the processor of the board min2440 acts a master as its master driver is i2cs3c2440. During any scl low phase, a slave may additionally hold down scl to prevent it from rising high again to slow down the scl clock rate or pause i 2 c communication.

You dont just connect a few ic pins together and then let the lowlevel hardware take over as you read from or write to the appropriate buffer, as is more or less the case with spi serial peripheral interface or a uart universal asynchronous receivertransmitter.
This is because i2c uses an opendrain type of communication, meaning that instead of outputting a positive voltage for a logical 1 the device goes into a highimpedence hiz state, effectively removing its pin from the bus. The goal of this application note is to implement an i2c communications software interface for devices which have no i2c peripheral. The i2c bus is a twowire synchronous serial interface consisting of one data.

It is often seen in systems with peripheral devices that are accessed intermittently. For the data link layer, some microcontrollers add can protocol modules onto. It is a bit complex to set up because it requires device address to initialize and not so easy if our controller doesnt have i2c support. It can be fairly trivially implemented in software. At least one start and stop bit is a part of each frame of data, meaning that 10 bits of transmission time are required for each 8 bits of data sent, which eats into the data rate.
