[Armadillo:05436] Re: Armadillo I2C communication problem

[Dimitris Tsiougkos]

Hello Yashi,


Thank you very much for the response

I have the armadillo board acting as a master and I want to communicate with
another board(audio sensor STM32 ARM) acting as slave.

The slave (audio) device is the 0x18 and this cannot be changed. So, I
configure in master's side the slave address to 0x18. Of course I can change
the value via ioctl, but I can't access the slave's device.
The first time I send a data_block using the i2c_smbus_write_block(), the
reception is ok but after this procedure
I can not read or write. The clock line is low and the SDA remains high.
According to the protocol, this is a clock stretching phenomenon and
everithing stops working. Every write or read I execute, an error is
returned back. I also checked the mxc_i2c.c file to understand the procedure
of transmission and reception. I observed a right first data trans. but
after that a kernel message of "Bus arbitration lost" was rising.

Thanks in advance,

Dimitris
