Detailed Description

I2C Controller API

The I2C bus is a two-wire serial interface, consisting of a serial data line SDA and a serial clock SCL. These wires carry information between the devices connected to the bus. Each device is recognized by a unique 7-bit address and can operate as either a “transmitter” or “receiver”, depending on the function of the device. Devices can also be considered as masters or slaves when performing data transfers. A master is a device that initiates a data transfer on the bus and generates the clock signals to permit that transfer. The first byte in the data transfer always contains the 7-bit address and a read/write bit in the LSB position. This API takes care of toggling the read/write bit. After this, any device addressed is considered a slave.

This API allows the controller to be set up as a master or a slave using the i2c_set_slave_mode function.

The external pins of each controller are connected to GPIO pins as defined in the GPIO muxing table in the datasheet. The muxing options give some IO flexibility, but each controller external pin should be connected to only one GPIO.

Note that the controller does NOT support High speed mode or Ultra-fast speed mode, the fastest operation being fast mode plus at up to 1000Kb/s.

See the datasheet for more information on the I2C controller and its usage.
