Functions

int i2c_configure(const struct device *dev, uint32_t dev_config)¶

Configure operation of a host controller.

Parameters

dev: Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.
dev_config: Bit-packed 32-bit value to the device runtime configuration for the I2C controller.

Return Value

0: If successful.
-EIO: General input / output error, failed to configure device.

int i2c_transfer(const struct device *dev, struct i2c_msg *msgs, uint8_t num_msgs, uint16_t addr)¶

Perform data transfer to another I2C device.

This routine provides a generic interface to perform data transfer to another I2C device synchronously. Use i2c_read()/i2c_write() for simple read or write.

The array of message msgs must not be NULL. The number of message num_msgs may be zero,in which case no transfer occurs.

Note

Not all scatter/gather transactions can be supported by all drivers. As an example, a gather write (multiple consecutive i2c_msg buffers all configured for I2C_MSG_WRITE) may be packed into a single transaction by some drivers, but others may emit each fragment as a distinct write transaction, which will not produce the same behavior. See the documentation of struct i2c_msg for limitations on support for multi-message bus transactions.

Parameters

dev: Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.
msgs: Array of messages to transfer.
num_msgs: Number of messages to transfer.
addr: Address of the I2C target device.

Return Value

0: If successful.
-EIO: General input / output error.

int i2c_recover_bus(const struct device *dev)¶

Recover the I2C bus.

Attempt to recover the I2C bus.

Parameters

dev: Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.

Return Value

0: If successful
-EBUSY: If bus is not clear after recovery attempt.
-EIO: General input / output error.
-ENOTSUP: If bus recovery is not supported

int i2c_slave_register(const struct device *dev, struct i2c_slave_config *cfg)¶

Registers the provided config as Slave device.

Enable I2C slave mode for the ‘dev’ I2C bus driver using the provided ‘config’ struct containing the functions and parameters to send bus events. The I2C slave will be registered at the address provided as ‘address’ struct member. Addressing mode - 7 or 10 bit - depends on the ‘flags’ struct member. Any I2C bus events related to the slave mode will be passed onto I2C slave device driver via a set of callback functions provided in the ‘callbacks’ struct member.

Most of the existing hardware allows simultaneous support for master and slave mode. This is however not guaranteed.

Parameters

dev: Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.
cfg: Config struct with functions and parameters used by the I2C driver to send bus events

Return Value

0: Is successful
-EINVAL: If parameters are invalid
-EIO: General input / output error.
-ENOTSUP: If slave mode is not supported

int i2c_slave_unregister(const struct device *dev, struct i2c_slave_config *cfg)¶

Unregisters the provided config as Slave device.

This routine disables I2C slave mode for the ‘dev’ I2C bus driver using the provided ‘config’ struct containing the functions and parameters to send bus events.

Parameters

dev: Pointer to the device structure for the driver instance.
cfg: Config struct with functions and parameters used by the I2C driver to send bus events

Return Value

0: Is successful
-EINVAL: If parameters are invalid
-ENOTSUP: If slave mode is not supported

int i2c_slave_driver_register(const struct device *dev)¶

Instructs the I2C Slave device to register itself to the I2C Controller.

Parameters

name: Name of this dump, displayed at the top.
msgs: Array of messages to dump.
num_msgs: Number of messages to dump.
addr: Address of the I2C target device.

struct i2c_msg¶

#include <i2c.h>

One I2C Message.

This defines one I2C message to transact on the I2C bus.

Note: Some of the configurations supported by this API may not be supported by specific SoC I2C hardware implementations, in particular features related to bus transactions intended to read or write data from different buffers within a single transaction. Invocations of i2c_transfer() may not indicate an error when an unsupported configuration is encountered. In some cases drivers will generate separate transactions for each message fragment, with or without presence of I2C_MSG_RESTART in flags.
