Example Description

This is a typical example of how to use the I2C software library to ensure the steps of an I2C communication between slave Receiver/transmitter and master transmitter/receiver using interrupts.

  • Hardware Description

To use this example, you need to load it on two STM8 boards (let's call them Board A and Board B) then connect these two boards through I2C lines and GND.

  • Software Description

This example requires two boards(Master and Slave)

  • Phase 1: In master board I2C peripheral is configured in Master Transmitter with Interrupt, where in Slave board I2C peripheral is configured in Slave Receiver with Interrupt. The master will send Data to Slave according to the defined buffer size.
  • Phase 2: In master board I2C peripheral is configured in Master Receiver in polling mode, where in Slave board I2C peripheral is configured in Slave Transmitter with Interrupt. Once the master has initiated the communication (Start condition), the slave will send back the data to the master according to the defined buffer size.

At the end of the data transfer, a data consistency check will be performed in master sides. In case of mismatch between sent and received data, LED4 will toggle. Otherwise LED1 will toggle.

Communication error are handled in slave sides, their occurrence is signaled by puting LED2 On.

The File "main.h" allows different possibilities of configuration of this example:

  • Addressing mode : 7-bit or 10-bit
  • I2C speed: Fast mode or Standard mode

Hardware and Software environment
  • This example runs on STM8S and STM8A High density, Medium density and Low density devices.
  • This example has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM8/128-EVAL evaluation board and can be easily tailored to any other development board.
  • STM8/128-EVAL Set-up
    • LED1, LED2 and LED4
    • Connect I2C Master SCL pin (PE.01) to I2C Slave SCL (PE.01)
    • Connect I2C Master SDA pin (PE.02) to I2C Slave SDA (PE.02)
Note:
  • Pull-up resistors should be connected to I2C SCL and SDA Pins in case of other boards use. Pull-up resistors are already implemented on the STM8/128-EVAL evaluation boards.
How to use it ?

In order to make the program work, you must do the following :

  • Copy all source files from this example folder to the template folder under Project
  • Open your preferred toolchain
  • Rebuild all files and load your image into target memory
  • Run the example
Note:
  • High-Density STM8A devices are the STM8AF52xx STM8AF6269/8x/Ax, STM8AF51xx, and STM8AF6169/7x/8x/9x/Ax microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 32 to 128 Kbytes
  • Medium-Density STM8A devices are the STM8AF622x/4x, STM8AF6266/68, STM8AF612x/4x, and STM8AF6166/68 microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 8 to 32 Kbytes
  • High-Density STM8S devices are the STM8S207xx, STM8S007 and STM8S208xx microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 32 to 128 Kbytes.
  • Medium-Density STM8S devices are the STM8S105x and STM8S005 microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 16 to 32-Kbytes.
  • Low-Density STM8S devices are the STM8S103xx, STM8S003 and STM8S903xx microcontrollers where the Flash density is 8 Kbytes.
