reading and writing via I2C without interrupts

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

What do I need to modify in the attached example code to accomplish reading and writing via I2C without interrupts?

I was thinking of converting the example ISR into a function and calling the function in a for-loop while checking the RX and TX transfer status bits. 

Thank you for your help,

  • you could poll the TXRDY and RXRDY bits each time. For TX, you would

    1. set I2CCNT to however many bytes you want to transmit

    2. Set I2CSAR to the slave address

    3. set I2CMDR to Master transmitter, STT and STP bits set to 1...or alternatively not set the STP bit but issue a restart as master receiver

    4. while(I2CMDR.BB == 1 || I2CSTR.XRDY == 0){//Wait for Busy bit to clear out and the XRDY to be set}

    5. I2CDXR = message byte

    Same thing on the RX end

    1. set I2CCNT to however many bytes you want to receive

    2. set I2CMDR to Master receiver, STT and STP bits set to 1

    4. while(I2CMDR.BB == 1 || I2CSTR.RRDY == 0){//Wait for Busy bit to clear out and the XRDY to be set}

    5. array[i] = I2CDRR

  • Vishal,

    1. In the TX, why issue a restart as master receiver BEFORE assigning the message byte to I2CDXR ? (step 5 above)

    2. Why do we set I2CMDR to master receiver in both TX and RX ?

    3. In step 4 for both TX and RX, do you mean to check the busy bit of I2CSTR ? I2CMDR does not have a busy bit defined in the example code.

    Thanks,

    Chuck

    2. Why do we set I2CMDR to master receiver in both TX and RX ?

    The sequence should be: start as master TX(STT = 1, STP = 0) -> send address bytes LO HI -> restart as master RX to receive data from the EEPRM

    Sorry, my mistake. I meant poll I2CSTR.BB each time before TX or RX.

  • Vishal,

    In reference to the example code in controlSUITE (attached file) do I simply place the Read or Write functions within a while loop that checks the busy bit?

    Will this remove the need for the interrupt function ?  I need to read and write to the EEPROM without the use of interrupts. It's a requirement so I have no choice.

    Thank you,

    //    contained in the message structure I2cMsgIn1.

  • Chuck,

    You could place your code in a loop. I would only poll the busy bit along with TXRDY or RXRDY before TX or RX data. You have to make provisions for a timeout though. If you were to receive a NACK from the EEPROM you could be stuck in that loop foreever. So after initiating a TX or RX, if you see a NACK you need to exit the loop, clear the NACK, and either try again or issue an I2C reset.

  • It seems like your suggestion is relatively simple, so why is the ISR in the example code so complicated?
