  • Hi Ben,

    The fact, customer can access two devices but not the other two, it means most probably hardware is ok but there could be some timing related issue. I am not sure if this customer has access to the FPC402 programming guide. It is possible there maybe I2C timeout. FPC402 programming guide goes into more details regarding this issue and its debugging. Please send me email through TI internal email and let me have the customer email address so we can provide him or her with access to these documents.
