I2C interface on Tiva

arm, c, embedded, microcontroller

Solution

The problem has been resolved. There were issues:

- It is essential to populate external pull ups.

- Use `GPIOPinTypeI2C()` 2nd parameter as a bit field instead of a bit number.

- The procedure `SysCtlClockSet()` is dedicated specially to TM4C123 devices. Instead use `g_ui32SysClock = SysCtlClockFreqSet((SYSCTL_OSC_MAIN | SYSCTL_XTAL_25MHZ | SYSCTL_USE_PLL | SYSCTL_CFG_VCO_320), 40000000);`

- For a Master clock setting do not use `SysCtlClockGet()` procedure. This is also dedicated to TM4C123 devices. Instead use `I2CMasterInitExpClk(I2C4_BASE, g_ui32SysClock, false);`

Problem

On a Tiva (Texas Instruments Cortex M4F ARM) TM4C129XNCZAD I have a problem with I2C interface. I have enabled both a master on I2C module 4 thru port K and a slave on I2C module 6 thru port B. I have interconnected both I2C modules. Using Texas Instruments driver library I tried to send 1 byte using I2C_MASTER_CMD_SINGLE_SEND command. I spend a lot of time to make it working, but SCK line keeps Low logical level. I followed exactly TivaWare™ Peripheral Driver Library USER’S GUIDE, but the communication doesn't work. Has anybody some experience with it?
