AM5716: Use I2C5 from A15 Initialisation/Exception

Part Number: AM5716

Dear TI-Support 

In our product we are using an AM571x Sitara processor. We are trying to use the I2C5 Interface from the A15 processor. To initalize the interface I use the method I2C_open(4, NULL) from the TI-RTOS. It will return without an error. Except for I2C_init() no other I2C5 method is called. The A15 crashes than with an exception. I2C1 - 4 are working fine. I can see that the clock is running for I2C5 in the  CM_IPU_I2C5_CLKCTRL register. All I2C5 Interrupts are turned off. We are not using the IPUs. If I try to write to the I2C5 register for example SYSTEST than an exception is thrown as well. 

Is it still possible to use I2C5 from the A15 instead of the IPU?

Are there any additional initialisation steps needed? 

Some additional Informations: 

We use the TI-RTOS with pdk 1.0.17

 

Here is the exception: 

Exception occurred in ThreadType_Task.

Task handle: 0xa4030cb0.

When I try to write to the I2C5 register directly the exception happens in the ti_rtos_idle_task. 

Thanks for your help. 

 

Kind regards

  • Hi,

    Can you please share which example from PDK are you referring to test this?

  • Dear Parth

    I tried to use the I2C example from the pdk_am57xx_1_0_17 on a idkAM571x. Unfortunatly i can't reproduce the error with this setup. Can you give me any hints how to debug this issue? It looks like the exception happens when I2CAutoIdleDisable is called. Is it possible that the IPU is messing things up without us using it?

    Kind regards

    Marco

  • To resolve the issue I added the following lines of code: 

    CSL_ipu_cm_core_aonRegs *SYS_CoreIPUCmRegs = (CSL_ipu_cm_core_aonRegs *) CSL_MPU_IPU_CM_CORE_AON_REGS;
    
    SYS_CoreIPUCmRegs->CM_IPU1_CLKSTCTRL_REG = CSL_IPU_CM_CORE_AON_CM_IPU1_CLKSTCTRL_REG_CLKTRCTRL_SW_WKUP;
    SYS_CoreIPUCmRegs->CM_IPU_CLKSTCTRL_REG = CSL_IPU_CM_CORE_AON_CM_IPU_CLKSTCTRL_REG_CLKTRCTRL_SW_WKUP;
    SYS_CoreIPUCmRegs->CM_IPU_I2C5_CLKCTRL_REG = CSL_IPU_CM_CORE_AON_CM_IPU_I2C5_CLKCTRL_REG_MODULEMODE_ENABLE;

    When I check the register written, they already contain the value 0x2 but without the write the A15 crashes when I2C_open is called. Any idea why this is the case? 

    Regards
