# I2C Master Driver
|
|
|
|
The I2C Master drivers used in QMK have a set of common functions to allow portability between MCUs.
|
|
|
|
## Available functions
|
|
|
|
|Function |Description |
|
|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
|`void i2c_init(void);` |Initializes the I2C driver. This function should be called once before any transaction is initiated. |
|
|
|`uint8_t i2c_start(uint8_t address);` |Starts an I2C transaction. Address is the 7-bit slave address without the direction bit. |
|
|
|`uint8_t i2c_transmit(uint8_t address, uint8_t* data, uint16_t length, uint16_t timeout);` |Transmit data over I2C. Address is the 7-bit slave address without the direction. Returns status of transaction. |
|
|
|`uint8_t i2c_receive(uint8_t address, uint8_t* data, uint16_t length, uint16_t timeout);` |Receive data over I2C. Address is the 7-bit slave address without the direction. Saves number of bytes specified by `length` in `data` array. Returns status of transaction. |
|
|
|`uint8_t i2c_writeReg(uint8_t devaddr, uint8_t regaddr, uint8_t* data, uint16_t length, uint16_t timeout);` |Same as the `i2c_transmit` function but `regaddr` sets where in the slave the data will be written. |
|
|
|`uint8_t i2c_readReg(uint8_t devaddr, uint8_t regaddr, uint8_t* data, uint16_t length, uint16_t timeout);` |Same as the `i2c_receive` function but `regaddr` sets from where in the slave the data will be read. |
|
|
|`uint8_t i2c_stop(uint16_t timeout);` |Stops the I2C driver. |
|
|
|
|
### Function Return
|
|
|
|
All the above functions, except `void i2c_init(void);` return the following truth table:
|
|
|
|
|Return Value |Description |
|
|
|---------------|---------------------------------------------------|
|
|
|0 |Operation executed successfully. |
|
|
|-1 |Operation failed. |
|
|
|-2 |Operation timed out. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## AVR
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
The following defines can be used to configure the I2C master driver.
|
|
|
|
|Variable |Description |Default|
|
|
|------------------|---------------------------------------------------|-------|
|
|
|`#F_SCL` |Clock frequency in Hz |400KHz |
|
|
|`#Prescaler` |Divides master clock to aid in I2C clock selection |1 |
|
|
|
|
AVRs usually have set GPIO which turn into I2C pins, therefore no further configuration is required.
|
|
|
|
## ARM
|
|
|
|
For ARM the Chibios I2C HAL driver is under the hood.
|
|
This section assumes an STM32 MCU.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
The configuration for ARM MCUs can be quite complex as often there are multiple I2C drivers which can be assigned to a variety of ports.
|
|
|
|
Firstly the `mcuconf.h` file must be setup to enable the necessary hardware drivers.
|
|
|
|
|Variable |Description |Default|
|
|
|------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------|
|
|
|`#STM32_I2C_USE_XXX` |Enable/Disable the hardware driver XXX (each driver should be explicitly listed) |FALSE |
|
|
|`#STM32_I2C_BUSY_TIMEOUT` |Time in ms until the I2C command is aborted if no response is received |50 |
|
|
|`#STM32_I2C_XXX_IRQ_PRIORITY` |Interrupt priority for hardware driver XXX (THIS IS AN EXPERT SETTING) |10 |
|
|
|`#STM32_I2C_USE_DMA` |Enable/Disable the ability of the MCU to offload the data transfer to the DMA unit |TRUE |
|
|
|`#STM32_I2C_XXX_DMA_PRIORITY` |Priority of DMA unit for hardware driver XXX (THIS IS AN EXPERT SETTING) |1 |
|
|
|
|
Secondly, in the `halconf.h` file, `#define HAL_USE_I2C` must be set to `TRUE`. This allows ChibiOS to load its I2C driver.
|
|
|
|
Lastly, we need to assign the correct GPIO pins depending on the I2C hardware driver we want to use.
|
|
|
|
By default the I2C1 hardware driver is assumed to be used. If another hardware driver is used, `#define I2C_DRIVER I2CDX` should be added to the `config.h` file with X being the number of hardware driver used. For example is I2C3 is enabled, the `config.h` file should contain `#define I2C_DRIVER I2CD3`. This aligns the QMK I2C driver with the Chibios I2C driver.
|
|
|
|
STM32 MCUs allows a variety of pins to be configured as I2C pins depending on the hardware driver used. By default B6 and B7 are set to I2C.
|
|
|
|
This can be changed by declaring the `i2c_init` function which intentionally has a weak attribute. Please consult the datasheet of your MCU for the available GPIO configurations. The following is an example initialization function:
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
void i2c_init(void)
|
|
{
|
|
setPinInput(B6); // Try releasing special pins for a short time
|
|
setPinInput(B7);
|
|
chThdSleepMilliseconds(10); // Wait for the release to happen
|
|
|
|
palSetPadMode(GPIOB, 6, PAL_MODE_ALTERNATE(4) | PAL_STM32_OTYPE_OPENDRAIN | PAL_STM32_PUPDR_PULLUP); // Set B6 to I2C function
|
|
palSetPadMode(GPIOB, 7, PAL_MODE_ALTERNATE(4) | PAL_STM32_OTYPE_OPENDRAIN | PAL_STM32_PUPDR_PULLUP); // Set B7 to I2C function
|
|
}
|
|
```
