| i2c_transfer(), i2c restart, i2c stop |

Hi all,
I have some doubts with the new i2c_transfer() function used in the i2c dedicated modules implemented in family K42 PICs.
This i2c_transfer() function excute the complete sequence of an i2c transaction: start, write, read and stop operations.
But, what if we want to do a restart operation? or if we want to do only a write and stop sequence (trying to exit an slave from a hang up state)?
Is it possible to do it?
Thanks in advance, |

It does a restart already in a read transaction.
The restart is normally used to turn the bus round after writing the
address. i2c_transfer does this. This is why you have a separate
write count and read count. Between the write transaction and the
read, it does a restart.
The sequence to release a slave is not a write and stop. All that is needed
is to clock the SCL line. Normally you would just turn off the I2C device
and manually clock the SCL line, then re-enable the device. You have to
do this even with the standard MSSP peripheral, otherwise it can get
confused by the absence of ACK/NACk if the device is hung. |

Hi Ttelmah,
Thanks for you reply!
I show you below the transaction required to communicated with a Texas Instrument fuel gauge. As you can see the restart condition (Sr) is not needed between write and read operations, it is needed between two write operations

How can I emulate this with i2c_transfer()? |

That is legal. That is a read, not a write. It says 'one byte read'.
That is how a restart for read works.
You send the address (with bit 0 clear), to say this is a write, then send some
data, then send a restart, followed by the address with bit 1 set, and then
read.
That is a standard read command.
The first byte after a start is always a write. It is the address. It is
this that then determines the direction for the bytes that follow. |

Hi again Ttelmah,
I understand what you are saying but I do not find how to implement this with i2c_transfer() function. I have my function written as shown below
| Code: | int16 readDataBQ(int8 cmd)
{
int8 byteMS;
int8 byteLS;
i2c_start(BQ); // Start command when in I2C master mode.
i2c_write(BQ,0xAA); //Byte de direccionamiento + bit de escritura (0)
i2c_write(BQ,cmd); // Sends a single byte over the I2C interface.
i2c_start(BQ); // Restart command when in the I2C master mode.
i2c_write(BQ,0xAB); //Byte de direccionamiento + bit lectura (1)
byteLS = i2c_read(BQ,0); // read data
i2c_stop(BQ); // Stop command when in the I2C master mode.
} |
When looking at the the i2c_transfer() function structure
| Code: | | i2c_transfer([stream], address, wData, wCount, [rData], [rCount]); |
I do not see how to send the address with bit 0 clear/set depending on write/read operation.
Thanks in advance, |

You don't have to handle that. Just give it the i2c slave address
(0xAA in your case) and the function and the PIC will handle it. |

Yes. The point is the transfer command takes the top seven bits of
the address, and automatically set the 8th bottom bit to 1 for the read
transaction, and to 0 for the write transaction. |

Thanks both of you.
However I still have not solve the issue
With the following code (the old one)
| Code: | int16 readDataBQ(int8 cmd)
{
int8 byteMS;
int8 byteLS;
i2c_start(BQ); // Start command when in I2C master mode.
i2c_write(BQ,0xAA); //Byte de direccionamiento + bit de escritura (0)
i2c_write(BQ,cmd); // cmd=0x02 .single byte over the I2C interface.
i2c_start(BQ); // Restart command when in the I2C master mode.
i2c_write(BQ,0xAB); //Byte de direccionamiento + bit lectura (1)
byteLS = i2c_read(BQ,0); // read data
i2c_stop(BQ); // Stop command when in the I2C master mode.
} |
I have this frames and the communication is correct

But with the new code
| Code: | | i2c_transfer(BQ,0xAA,0x02,1,SoC,1); |
I obtain the following frames and the data receive is not correct.

As you can see the slave is not doing the ACK and the sent data is not the appropriate.
Any idea about the cause? |

You're sending 0x02 as the write data. But you're doing it wrong.
Did you read the manual? You need to give i2c_transfer() the address
of a write data array. The array holds the 0x02.
Read the manual. |
