MSP430F5438A: I2C transmission get hang TXIFG

Part Number: MSP430F5438A

Hi TI team,

I am trying to send data through I2C in MSP430F5438A. I am using example code given by the TI.

It get hanged, once the first byte is placed in TX buffer.

By using breakpoint it goes upto ISR -> UCB0TXBUF = TXData; // Load TX buffer, after this code get hanged.  

Please help me to solve the issue. 

Code Used:

#include <msp430.h>

unsigned char TXData;
unsigned char TXByteCtr;

int main(void)
{
WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; // Stop WDT
P3SEL |= 0x06; // Assign I2C pins to USCI_B0
UCB0CTL1 |= UCSWRST; // Enable SW reset
UCB0CTL0 = UCMST + UCMODE_3 + UCSYNC; // I2C Master, synchronous mode
UCB0CTL1 = UCSSEL_2 + UCSWRST; // Use SMCLK, keep SW reset
UCB0BR0 = 12; // fSCL = SMCLK/12 = ~100kHz
UCB0BR1 = 0;
UCB0I2CSA = 0xAA; // Slave Address is 048h
UCB0CTL1 &= ~UCSWRST; // Clear SW reset, resume operation
UCB0IE |= UCTXIE; // Enable TX interrupt

TXData = 0x01; // Holds TX data

while (1)
{
TXByteCtr = 1; // Load TX byte counter

while (UCB0CTL1 & UCTXSTP); // Ensure stop condition got sent
UCB0CTL1 |= UCTR + UCTXSTT; // I2C TX, start condition

__bis_SR_register(LPM0_bits + GIE); // Enter LPM0 w/ interrupts
__no_operation(); // Remain in LPM0 until all data
// is TX'd

TXData++; // Increment data byte
}
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The USCIAB0_ISR is structured such that it can be used to transmit any
// number of bytes by pre-loading TXByteCtr with the byte count.
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#if defined(__TI_COMPILER_VERSION__) || defined(__IAR_SYSTEMS_ICC__)
#pragma vector = USCI_B0_VECTOR
__interrupt void USCI_B0_ISR(void)
#elif defined(__GNUC__)
void __attribute__ ((interrupt(USCI_B0_VECTOR))) USCI_B0_ISR (void)
#else
#error Compiler not supported!
#endif
{
switch(__even_in_range(UCB0IV,12))
{
case 0: break; // Vector 0: No interrupts
case 2: break; // Vector 2: ALIFG
case 4: break; // Vector 4: NACKIFG
case 6: break; // Vector 6: STTIFG
case 8: break; // Vector 8: STPIFG
case 10: break; // Vector 10: RXIFG
case 12: // Vector 12: TXIFG
if (TXByteCtr) // Check TX byte counter
{
UCB0TXBUF = TXData; // Load TX buffer
TXByteCtr--; // Decrement TX byte counter
}
else
{
UCB0CTL1 |= UCTXSTP; // I2C stop condition
UCB0IFG &= ~UCTXIFG; // Clear USCI_B0 TX int flag
__bic_SR_register_on_exit(LPM0_bits); // Exit LPM0
}
break;
default: break;
}
}

  • The symptom you describe is consistent with getting a NACK from the slave device.

    > UCB0I2CSA = 0xAA; // Slave Address is 048h
    A slave address is only 7 bits (the R/W bit is not part of the address), so 0xAA cannot be a slave address. An incorrect address will result in a NACK.

    My first guess is that the address you want is 0x55 (0xAA >> 1).
