The kernel generates a virtual file with the values for the famous temperature sensor DS 18B20.

Is there a plug and play kernel support for the I2C digital pressure sensors BMP180 and BMP85 too?

And if so, what is the minimal kernel version?

The kernel has drivers for the bmp085 and bmp18x digital barometric pressure and temperature sensors from Bosch Sensortec.

drivers/misc/bmp085.c
drivers/misc/bmp085-spi.c
drivers/misc/bmp085.h
drivers/misc/bmp085-i2c.c
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/misc/bmp085.txt

I don't think they are compiled into the kernel by default so you'll have to build your own kernel.

Why not just use I2C?
