I2C Driver¶

Overview¶

I2C is a serial, synchronous, half-duplex communication protocol that allows co-existence of multiple masters and slaves on the same bus. The I2C bus consists of two lines: serial data line (SDA) and serial clock (SCL). Both lines require pull-up resistors.

With such advantages as simplicity and low manufacturing cost, I2C is mostly used for communication of low-speed peripheral devices over short distances (within one foot).

ESP32 has two I2C controllers (also referred to as ports) which are responsible for handling communications on the I2C bus. Each I2C controller can operate as master or slave. As an example, one controller can act as a master and the other as a slave at the same time.

Driver Features¶

I2C driver governs communications of devices over the I2C bus. The driver supports the following features:

Reading and writing bytes in Master mode
Slave mode
Reading and writing to registers which are in turn read/written by the master

Driver Usage¶

The following sections describe typical steps of configuring and operating the I2C driver:

Configuration - set the initialization parameters (master or slave mode, GPIO pins for SDA and SCL, clock speed, etc.)
Install Driver- activate the driver on one of the two I2C controllers as a master or slave
Depending on whether you configure the driver for a master or slave, choose the appropriate item
1. Communication as Master - handle communications (master)
2. Communication as Slave - respond to messages from the master (slave)
Interrupt Handling - configure and service I2C interrupts
Customized Configuration - adjust default I2C communication parameters (timings, bit order, etc.)
Error Handling - how to recognize and handle driver configuration and communication errors
Delete Driver- release resources used by the I2C driver when communication ends

Configuration¶

To establish I2C communication, start by configuring the driver. This is done by setting the parameters of the structure i2c_config_t:

Set I2C mode of operation - slave or master from i2c_mode_t
Configure communication pins
- Assign GPIO pins for SDA and SCL signals
- Set whether to enable ESP32’s internal pull-ups
(Master only) Set I2C clock speed
(Slave only) Configure the following
- Whether to enable 10 bit address mode
- Define slave address

After that, initialize the configuration for a given I2C port. For this, call the function i2c_param_config() and pass to it the port number and the structure i2c_config_t.

Configuration example (master):

int i2c_master_port = 0;
i2c_config_t conf = {
    .mode = I2C_MODE_MASTER,
    .sda_io_num = I2C_MASTER_SDA_IO,         // select GPIO specific to your project
    .sda_pullup_en = GPIO_PULLUP_ENABLE,
    .scl_io_num = I2C_MASTER_SCL_IO,         // select GPIO specific to your project
    .scl_pullup_en = GPIO_PULLUP_ENABLE,
    .master.clk_speed = I2C_MASTER_FREQ_HZ,  // select frequency specific to your project
    // .clk_flags = 0,          /*!< Optional, you can use I2C_SCLK_SRC_FLAG_* flags to choose i2c source clock here. */
};

Configuration example (slave):

int i2c_slave_port = I2C_SLAVE_NUM;
i2c_config_t conf_slave = {
    .sda_io_num = I2C_SLAVE_SDA_IO,          // select GPIO specific to your project
    .sda_pullup_en = GPIO_PULLUP_ENABLE,
    .scl_io_num = I2C_SLAVE_SCL_IO,          // select GPIO specific to your project
    .scl_pullup_en = GPIO_PULLUP_ENABLE,
    .mode = I2C_MODE_SLAVE,
    .slave.addr_10bit_en = 0,
    .slave.slave_addr = ESP_SLAVE_ADDR,      // address of your project
};

At this stage, i2c_param_config() also sets a few other I2C configuration parameters to default values that are defined by the I2C specification. For more details on the values and how to modify them, see Customized Configuration.

Source Clock Configuration¶

Clock sources allocator is added for supporting different clock sources (Master only). The clock allocator will choose one clock source that meets all the requirements of frequency and capability (as requested in i2c_config_t::clk_flags).

When i2c_config_t::clk_flags is 0, the clock allocator will select only according to the desired frequency. If no special capabilities are needed, such as APB, you can configure the clock allocator to select the source clock only according to the desired frequency. For this, set i2c_config_t::clk_flags to 0. For clock characteristics, see the table below.

Note

A clock is not a valid option, if it doesn’t meet the requested capabilities, i.e. any bit of requested capabilities (clk_flags) is 0 in the clock’s capabilities.

Characteristics of ESP32 clock sources¶
Clock name	Clock frequency	MAX freq for SCL	Clock capabilities
APB clock	80 MHz	4 MHz	/

Explanations for i2c_config_t::clk_flags are as follows:

I2C_SCLK_SRC_FLAG_AWARE_DFS: Clock’s baud rate will not change while APB clock is changing.
I2C_SCLK_SRC_FLAG_LIGHT_SLEEP: It supports Light-sleep mode, which APB clock cannot do.
Some flags may not be supported on ESP32, reading technical reference manual before using it.

Note

The clock frequency of SCL in master mode should not be lager than max frequency for SCL mentioned in the table above.

Install Driver¶

After the I2C driver is configured, install it by calling the function i2c_driver_install() with the following parameters:

Port number, one of the two port numbers from i2c_port_t
Master or slave, selected from i2c_mode_t
(Slave only) Size of buffers to allocate for sending and receiving data. As I2C is a master-centric bus, data can only go from the slave to the master at the master’s request. Therefore, the slave will usually have a send buffer where the slave application writes data. The data remains in the send buffer to be read by the master at the master’s own discretion.
Flags for allocating the interrupt (see ESP_INTR_FLAG_* values in esp_system/include/esp_intr_alloc.h)

Communication as Master¶

After installing the I2C driver, ESP32 is ready to communicate with other I2C devices.

ESP32’s I2C controller operating as master is responsible for establishing communication with I2C slave devices and sending commands to trigger a slave to action, for example, to take a measurement and send the readings back to the master.

For better process organization, the driver provides a container, called a “command link”, that should be populated with a sequence of commands and then passed to the I2C controller for execution.

Master Write¶

The example below shows how to build a command link for an I2C master to send n bytes to a slave.

I2C command link - master write example¶

The following describes how a command link for a “master write” is set up and what comes inside:

Create a command link with i2c_cmd_link_create().

Then, populate it with the series of data to be sent to the slave:
1. Start bit - i2c_master_start()
2. Slave address - i2c_master_write_byte(). The single byte address is provided as an argument of this function call.
3. Data - One or more bytes as an argument of i2c_master_write()
4. Stop bit - i2c_master_stop()
Both functions i2c_master_write_byte() and i2c_master_write() have an additional argument specifying whether the master should ensure that it has received the ACK bit.
Trigger the execution of the command link by I2C controller by calling i2c_master_cmd_begin(). Once the execution is triggered, the command link cannot be modified.
After the commands are transmitted, release the resources used by the command link by calling i2c_cmd_link_delete().

Master Read¶

The example below shows how to build a command link for an I2C master to read n bytes from a slave.

I2C command link - master read example¶

Compared to writing data, the command link is populated in Step 4 not with i2c_master_write... functions but with i2c_master_read_byte() and / or i2c_master_read(). Also, the last read in Step 5 is configured so that the master does not provide the ACK bit.

Indicating Write or Read¶

After sending a slave address (see Step 3 on both diagrams above), the master either writes or reads from the slave.

The information on what the master will actually do is hidden in the least significant bit of the slave’s address.

For this reason, the command link sent by the master to write data to the slave contains the address (ESP_SLAVE_ADDR << 1) | I2C_MASTER_WRITE and looks as follows:

i2c_master_write_byte(cmd, (ESP_SLAVE_ADDR << 1) | I2C_MASTER_WRITE, ACK_EN);

Likewise, the command link to read from the slave looks as follows:

i2c_master_write_byte(cmd, (ESP_SLAVE_ADDR << 1) | I2C_MASTER_READ, ACK_EN);

Communication as Slave¶

After installing the I2C driver, ESP32 is ready to communicate with other I2C devices.

The API provides the following functions for slaves

i2c_slave_read_buffer()

Whenever the master writes data to the slave, the slave will automatically store it in the receive buffer. This allows the slave application to call the function i2c_slave_read_buffer() at its own discretion. This function also has a parameter to specify block time if no data is in the receive buffer. This will allow the slave application to wait with a specified timeout for data to arrive to the buffer.
i2c_slave_write_buffer()

The send buffer is used to store all the data that the slave wants to send to the master in FIFO order. The data stays there until the master requests for it. The function i2c_slave_write_buffer() has a parameter to specify block time if the send buffer is full. This will allow the slave application to wait with a specified timeout for the adequate amount of space to become available in the send buffer.

A code example showing how to use these functions can be found in peripherals/i2c.

Interrupt Handling¶

During driver installation, an interrupt handler is installed by default. However, you can register your own interrupt handler instead of the default one by calling the function i2c_isr_register(). When implementing your own interrupt handler, refer to ESP32 Technical Reference Manual > I2C Controller (I2C) > Interrupts [PDF] for the description of interrupts triggered by the I2C controller.

To delete an interrupt handler, call i2c_isr_free().

Customized Configuration¶

As mentioned at the end of Section Configuration, when the function i2c_param_config() initializes the driver configuration for an I2C port, it also sets several I2C communication parameters to default values defined in the I2C specification. Some other related parameters are pre-configured in registers of the I2C controller.

All these parameters can be changed to user-defined values by calling dedicated functions given in the table below. Please note that the timing values are defined in APB clock cycles. The frequency of APB is specified in I2C_APB_CLK_FREQ.

Other Configurable I2C Communication Parameters¶
Parameters to Change	Function
High time and low time for SCL pulses	`i2c_set_period()`
SCL and SDA signal timing used during generation of start signals	`i2c_set_start_timing()`
SCL and SDA signal timing used during generation of stop signals	`i2c_set_stop_timing()`
Timing relationship between SCL and SDA signals when slave samples, as well as when master toggles	`i2c_set_data_timing()`
I2C timeout	`i2c_set_timeout()`
Choice between transmitting / receiving the LSB or MSB first, choose one of the modes defined in `i2c_trans_mode_t`	`i2c_set_data_mode()`

Each of the above functions has a _get_ counterpart to check the currently set value. For example, to check the I2C timeout value, call i2c_get_timeout().

To check the default parameter values which are set during the driver configuration process, please refer to the file driver/i2c.c and look for defines with the suffix _DEFAULT.

You can also select different pins for SDA and SCL signals and alter the configuration of pull-ups with the function i2c_set_pin(). If you want to modify already entered values, use the function i2c_param_config().

Note

ESP32’s internal pull-ups are in the range of tens of kOhm, which is, in most cases, insufficient for use as I2C pull-ups. Users are advised to use external pull-ups with values described in the I2C specification.

Error Handling¶

The majority of I2C driver functions either return ESP_OK on successful completion or a specific error code on failure. It is a good practice to always check the returned values and implement error handling. The driver also prints out log messages that contain error details, e.g., when checking the validity of entered configuration. For details please refer to the file driver/i2c.c and look for defines with the suffix _ERR_STR.

Use dedicated interrupts to capture communication failures. For instance, if a slave stretches the clock for too long while preparing the data to send back to master, the interrupt I2C_TIME_OUT_INT will be triggered. For detailed information, see Interrupt Handling.

In case of a communication failure, you can reset the internal hardware buffers by calling the functions i2c_reset_tx_fifo() and i2c_reset_rx_fifo() for the send and receive buffers respectively.

Delete Driver¶

When the I2C communication is established with the function i2c_driver_install() and is not required for some substantial amount of time, the driver may be deinitialized to release allocated resources by calling i2c_driver_delete().

Before calling i2c_driver_delete() to remove i2c driver, please make sure that all threads have stopped using the driver in any way, because this function does not guarantee thread safety.
