Hi Cypress,

I have CyUSBS236 DVK board and wanted to connect external I2C device to it.

I configured SCB0 to I2C and set SCB0 "jump 17" and "jump 20" to "1 and 2", which means I can connect external device from header pin 5 (GPIO3) and 7 (GPIO4).

My external device address is 0x48, and both SDA and SCL are pulled up to VCC (3.3V).

I first search onboard I2C

rStatus = CyGetListofDevices(&numDevices);

     if ((rStatus != CY_SUCCESS) || (numDevices == 0))

        {

            printf(" Did not get it");

        }

     for (DeviceIdx = 0; DeviceIdx < numDevices; DeviceIdx++)

        {

            rStatus = CyGetDeviceInfo(DeviceIdx, &DeviceInfo);

            if (rStatus != CY_SUCCESS)

            {

               continue;

            }

            for (InterfaceIdx = 0; InterfaceIdx < DeviceInfo.numInterfaces; InterfaceIdx++)

            {

                 if (DeviceInfo.deviceType[InterfaceIdx] == CY_TYPE_I2C)

                 {

                          deviceNumber=DeviceIdx;

                          interfaceNum=InterfaceIdx;

                          printf("found I2C DeviceIndex: %d, InterfaceIndex: %d  \n", DeviceIdx, InterfaceIdx);

                                            

                 }

            }

        }

     

        rStatus = CyOpen (deviceNumber, interfaceNum, &handle);

        if (rStatus != CY_SUCCESS)

        {

           printf("CY_I2C: Open failed \n");

        }

Up to here every thing is ok, but when I

     CY_I2C_CONFIG cyI2CConfig;

     CY_DATA_BUFFER cyDataBuffer;

     CY_I2C_DATA_CONFIG cyI2CDataConfig;

     unsigned char readBuffer[4096], writeBuffer[4096];

     UINT32 timeout = 5000;

     cyI2CDataConfig.slaveAddress = 0x48;

     cyI2CDataConfig.isNakBit = true;

     cyI2CDataConfig.isStopBit = true;

       

     memset(writeBuffer, 0x00, 4096);

     cyDataBuffer.buffer = writeBuffer;

     cyDataBuffer.buffer[0] = 0x01;    

     cyDataBuffer.buffer[1] = 0xc4;

     cyDataBuffer.buffer[2] = 0xd3;

    

     cyDataBuffer.length = 3;

     rStatus = CyI2cWrite(handle, &cyI2CDataConfig, &cyDataBuffer, timeout);

       

     if (rStatus != CY_SUCCESS)

        {

           printf("ADC setting fail \n");

        }

    I got error,

   Could anyone give me some advices?

 

   Thank you!

Hello,

Slave address to which the USB-Serial device is communicating with, is stored in the structure CY_I2C_DATA_CONFIG.

If the 7bit address of the slave is 0x48 the set cyI2CDataConfig.slaveAddress = 0x48 (CY_I2C_DATA_CONFIG cyI2CDataConfig).

Return status 17 is a NAK from the slave device. Please check if the slave address is proper.

Hello Derlin,

Can you please let me know if you are using the I2C example from the SDK.

What is the error code that is returned. You can check it by printing the rStatus or by debugging the application in visual studios using breakpoints.

Hello Derlin,

Please set the desired I2C configuration for the master using the USB-Serial Configuration Utiltiy.

Hi Yatheesh

If I follow the Cypress instructions, set jump 17 and jump 20 to "2 and 3". I have no problem sending and verifying data to EEPROM, which also means that my SCB0 I2C configuration is correct.

But when I set the jump 17 and jump 20 to "1 and 2" and want to use GPIO header GPIO3 and GPIO4 (pin 5 and 7), I can't communicate with external device (address 0x48 with 2.2k pull up resistors).

I tried 0x48 or 0x24, both fail,  return value:17.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!

Hello,

Please try left shifting the I2C slave address by one bit  (i.e. 0x90) , reason for this is if the slave has a 7 bit slave address then we will send and extra bit while accessing the slave the which might be considered and the slave device will NAK the request.

Also please collect the I2C logs using an analyzer for better debugging the issue.

Hi Yatheesh,

I connected my I2C device (Analog to Digital Converter) on the jump 17 and 20 so they are in parallel with EEPROM. The connection seems ok with address 0x48.

and I do not get error.

     cyI2CDataConfig.slaveAddress = 0x48; //DAC address

     cyI2CDataConfig.isNakBit = true;

     cyI2CDataConfig.isStopBit = true;

     cyDataBufferWrite.buffer = writeBuffer;

     cyDataBufferWrite.buffer[0] = 0x01;    // this is the register of ADC

     cyDataBufferWrite.buffer[1] = 0xc4;    // this is the configuration

     cyDataBufferWrite.buffer[2] = 0xd3;   // this is the configuration too

     cyDataBufferWrite.length = 3;

     rStatus = CyI2cWrite(handle, &cyI2CDataConfig, &cyDataBufferWrite, timeout);

  

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

   Then I want to read measuring voltage from ADC, the register is 0x00, data length is 2 bytes

    memset (readBuffer, 0x00, 4096);

    cyI2CDataConfig.isStopBit = true; 

    cyI2CDataConfig.isNakBit = true;

    readBuffer[0]= 0x00;  //register

    readBuffer[1] = 0;      // no meaning

    cyDataBufferRead.buffer = readBuffer;

    cyDataBufferRead.length = 2; 

    

    rStatus = CyI2cRead (handle, &cyI2CDataConfig, &cyDataBufferRead, 5000);

   There is no error, but the data is not correct.

   Any advise?

   Thanks!

Hello Derlin,

Can you please let me know what value is expected and what is the actual received value?
