Should be on i2c bus #7 if you are using Linux (the low speed header
enumerates under Linux to #7, high speed header #8). You should double
check and make sure that firmware has i2c enabled
http://www.elinux.org/Minnowboard:MaxBios#LPSS_.26_SCC_Configuration
specifically:
LPSS 2 Configuration
LPSS DMA #2 Support
Enable / Disable
LPSS I2C #5 Support
Enable / Disable
Note: This is what's used on the Low-speed pins #13, #15
LPSS I2C #6 Support
Enable / Disable
Note: This is what's used for the High Speed I2C pins
If you aren't seeing 7 you might be missing the driver for lpss, so you
might want to check your kernel / kernel config (could be helpful to let
us know so we can help you double check)
