XC161CJ and I2C

Hi Everybody,

I'm experimenting with Infineon's XC161CJ-controller on an Infineon SK-XC16x starter kit. Most of my routines work now, except the I2C-routines. Sending of data works OK, but the errors occur when I want to receive data.

Has anybody on this forum written I2C-routines for this controller? And if so, are you willing to share them?

Thanks in advance. :)

Kind Regards,
Dennis Ebben

  • Hi Rolf,

    may be that is this experience I meaned with the extra dummy access we had taken as I mentioned.
    I will ask my end costumer, if it is possible to that you may contact him by e-mail or that I can transfer the I²C routines.
    He is a very good minded and helpfull men, but because some reasons I want not to give his contact address directly.
    But I think it would be very usefully that
    you can change some experinece - may be your information is new for him.

    I would only ask to be so kind to hold me in copy if I can make the contact, because the support is my job.
    So all information I can get , are usefull to me.

    (I check this email address only occasionally).

  • Hi Rolf,

    I have mailed you a low level driver I got from Infineon directly.
    This was helpfull to my end costumer and may it helps you too.

    Please have look at your e-mail.

  • Hi Rolf and Stefan,

    Last week, I haven't been able to read this forum anymore, so I saw your threads today and think it's very interesting. Thanks for the information you've shared.

    I wrote code for Infineon's C161RI/PI two years ago and that code works OK. At that time, I also had problems with my read-routine at that time, because I didn't notice that a dummy read was necessary to re-activate the bus (after sending the slave address to the bus).

    A few weeks ago, I've found an Application Note (AP1631), called:

    "Migration from C161/C164 Microconrollers to the XC161/XC164"
    (version 1.0, April 2000)

    Paragraph 3.9 describes the IIC-bus. It describes the registers that have to be renamed and also other actions that have to be token, because of the things that are new in the XC161. I used this Application Note to write my XC161 I2C-routines and the send-routines worked immediately. But something goes wrong in the read-routines, as I mentioned before. The dummy read is in the read-routine, so that isn't the problem.

    Stefan, do you want to share the code you received from Infineon with me? That probably would be very helpfull to me, because I think it's a little thing that causes my not-working read-routine. You can reach me at: info@frankort.com

    If you would like to, I'm also wanting to share my routines.

    What DAvE concerns: I also used DAvE two years ago and the first thing I noticed, was that the I2C-routines weren't usefull. They were just macro's to set a register value and not more than that. That was the reason I decided to write my own routines with a little help from information I've found on Hitex' site (they have very interesting documentation about the C167V1-family of Infineon).

    Kind regards,
    Dennis Ebben

  • Hi Dennis,

    there is no problem to mail the driver to you. Second I 've forgotten to mentioned:
    since approximately march or april there was a new manual available for XC161 and one of the most experienced guides from Infineon told me the I²C should be more covered there.
    It is downloadable at infineons web page , if you have not done yet.

    Let me know whether this was helpfull to you.
    (At all the code was usefull)

    Stefan

    Please have a look at your mail in 10 - 20 minutes it comes as an zip-file.

  • Hi Stefan,

    I studied the code you sent me and found the solution. The order in which I toggled bits from several registers wasn't right. For Example: In the old C161 I set the INT-bit after the dummy-read. That seemed to work OK. But in this controller it has to be set before the dummy read. Same for some other bits/registers.

    So, your code was very helpfull to me!!! I solved the problem in the routines I had written. Thanks again! :)

    Kind regards,
    Dennis Ebben

  • Hi Dennis,

    it is very good for me to hear I was able to help you with this code.
    I had only one additional reserve in background in case of problems with reading back.
    My costumer was lucky too with this code as I told.
    It is a little bit pitty that Rolf did not answer.
    As you know I send him the code too.
    OK- but important is, that you had solved the problem, so I am quite happy.

    Stefan

  • Dear Dennis & Stefan,

    sorry about the response delay,
    but I had to focus on some other matters.

    I have given the code a short glimps, and I think it will be helpful for me when I continue working with the IIC-Code.

    I got the routine I was working with at the time up and running before I recived your email Stefan, but I am grateful for your assistance,maybe I'll come back to you later regarding this...

    Best regards,

    Rolf

  • Hi Stefan and everybody,

    sorry for not english language, i have problems with it :-(

    Hallo, Stefan, ich beschäftige mich momentan ebenfalls mit dem I2C-Modul beim XC161-Controller und habe die gleichen Probleme die in diesem Forum vor einem Monat diskutiert wurden. Es funktioniert zwar, aber mit komischen Effekten. Bisher habe ich weder Application Notes noch funktionsfähige
    C- bzw. Assembler-Routinen gefunden. Ich habe in Forum gelesen, dass Du einige hattest. Ich wäre Dir sehr dankbar sein, wenn Du mir diese an igoreq@web.de zukommen lassen könntest, weil ich nirgendwo im Internet Hilfe zu diesem Thema finden kann.

    Vielen Dank im voraus.

    PS Ich habe keine Deine E-Mail Adresse, deswegen deswegen muß ich diesen Berich im Forum veröffentlichen.

  • Hallo Igor,

    ich sende Dir den Low-Level-Treiber zu.
    Bis jetzt hat er geholfen.
    DAvE generiert die Routinen uebrigens falsch.

    Stefan

    Hi Igor,

    I send you the low level driver.
    Up to now it was allways helpfull.
    By the way DAvE generates wrong routines.

    Stefan

  • Dear Mr.Stefan,

    I have the same problem as here discussed.I use XC161 controller to communicate with EEPROM with IIC.The writing routine runs well and reading routine doesn't.May I share you read routine too?That is for me very helpful.

    Thank you very much!

    zhen pei

  • Dear Zhen Pei,

    this is the low level routine from Infineon,
    but no problem to send it to you.

    Please leave your e-mail address here.

    I will send it to you.

    Stefan

  • Hello Stefan,

    I am working with the I2C module of the XC161.
    Could it be possible to publish the low level routines somewhere on the WEB ?

    Thanks for your help

    David

  • Hi David,

    unfortunately not.
    But it is no problem to mail it, if you leave your e-mail here.

    Stefan

  • Hello Stefan,

    You can send the I2C routines to this address :

    davidbrev(at)yahoo.se

    Thank a lot for your help.
