Tool/software:
We have 7Z SoM based board, from that we are planning to interface a microcontroller (probably STM32) with I2C where 7z SOM is master and STM32 is slave. One catch here is the two boards will be connected with a 4meter long cable. Can you please suggest how can we interface the same?
I came across the chip P82B96 for the same but when i looked into the forum, i could see lot of issue people were facing. It would be helpful if you can tell whether to go with this chip for my application or any other chip suggestion? If same/different chip, what precautions to be considered so that it should work just fine. Or is it better to go with I2C to UART/RS232 conversion then transmit over cable then convert it back to I2C?
Thanks
