Detailed Description

An I2C Slave, used for communicating with an I2C Master device.

Note: Synchronization level: Not protected

Example Simple I2C responder:

#include <mbed.h>
const int SLAVE_ADDRESS = 0xA0;
const char message[] = "Slave!";
I2CSlave slave(I2C_SDA, I2C_SCL);
int main() {
    slave.address(SLAVE_ADDRESS);
    while (1) {
        int operation = slave.receive();
        switch (operation) {
            case I2CSlave::ReadAddressed:
                int status = slave.write(message, sizeof(message));
                if (status == 0) {
                    printf("Written message: %s\n", message);
                } else {
                    printf("Failed to write message.\n");
                }
                break;
            case I2CSlave::WriteGeneral:
                int byte_read = slave.read();
                printf("Read General: %c (%d)\n", byte_read, byte_read);
                break;
            case I2CSlave::WriteAddressed:
                int byte_read = slave.read();
                printf("Read Addressed: %c (%d)\n", byte_read, byte_read);
                break;
        }
    }

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

I2CSlave	(	PinName	sda,
		PinName	scl
	)

Create an I2C Slave interface, connected to the specified pins.

Parameters

sda	I2C data line pin.
scl	I2C clock line pin.

I2CSlave ( const i2c_pinmap_t & static_pinmap )

Create an I2C Slave interface, connected to the specified pins.

Parameters

static_pinmap reference to structure which holds static pinmap.

Member Function Documentation

void address ( int address )

Set the I2C slave address.

Parameters

address The address to set for the slave (least significant bit is ignored).

Note: If address is set to 0, the slave will only respond to the general call address.

void frequency ( int hz )

Set the frequency of the I2C interface.

Parameters

hz	The bus frequency in Hertz.

int read	(	char *	data,
		int	length
	)

Read specified number of bytes from an I2C master.

Parameters

data	Pointer to the buffer to read data into.
length	Number of bytes to read.

Returns: Result of the operation.

Return values

0	If the number of bytes read is equal to length requested.
nonzero	On error or if the number of bytes read is less than requested.

int read ( void )

Read a single byte from an I2C master.

Returns: The byte read.

int receive ( void )

Check if this I2C Slave has been addressed.

Returns: A status indicating if the device has been addressed and how.

Return values

NoData	The slave has not been addressed.
ReadAddressed	The master has requested a read from this slave.
WriteAddressed	The master is writing to this slave.
WriteGeneral	The master is writing to all slave.

void stop ( void )

Reset the I2C slave back into the known ready receiving state.

int write	(	const char *	data,
		int	length
	)

Write to an I2C master.

Parameters

data	Pointer to the buffer containing the data to be sent.
length	Number of bytes to send.

Returns

Return values

0	If written all bytes successfully.
nonzero	On error or if the number of bytes written is less than requested.

int write ( int data )

Write a single byte to an I2C master.

Parameters

data	Value to write.

Returns: Result of the operation.

Return values

0	If a NACK is received.
1	If an ACK is received.
2	On timeout.
