In smbus-protocol.rst we use the text "Implemented by" for the same meaning as "This corresponds to". Change everything to "Implemented by" for coherency.

The I2C Protocol
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This document describes the I2C protocol. Or will, when it is finished :-)
|
|
|
|
Key to symbols
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
=============== =============================================================
|
|
S Start condition
|
|
P Stop condition
|
|
Rd/Wr (1 bit) Read/Write bit. Rd equals 1, Wr equals 0.
|
|
A, NA (1 bit) Acknowledge (ACK) and Not Acknowledge (NACK) bit
|
|
Addr (7 bits) I2C 7 bit address. Note that this can be expanded as usual to
|
|
get a 10 bit I2C address.
|
|
Comm (8 bits) Command byte, a data byte which often selects a register on
|
|
the device.
|
|
Data (8 bits) A plain data byte. Sometimes, I write DataLow, DataHigh
|
|
for 16 bit data.
|
|
Count (8 bits) A data byte containing the length of a block operation.
|
|
|
|
[..] Data sent by I2C device, as opposed to data sent by the
|
|
host adapter.
|
|
=============== =============================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple send transaction
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Implemented by i2c_master_send()::
|
|
|
|
S Addr Wr [A] Data [A] Data [A] ... [A] Data [A] P
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple receive transaction
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Implemented by i2c_master_recv()::
|
|
|
|
S Addr Rd [A] [Data] A [Data] A ... A [Data] NA P
|
|
|
|
|
|
Combined transactions
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Implemented by i2c_transfer().
|
|
|
|
They are just like the above transactions, but instead of a stop
|
|
condition P a start condition S is sent and the transaction continues.
|
|
An example of a byte read, followed by a byte write::
|
|
|
|
S Addr Rd [A] [Data] NA S Addr Wr [A] Data [A] P
|
|
|
|
|
|
Modified transactions
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The following modifications to the I2C protocol can also be generated by
|
|
setting these flags for I2C messages. With the exception of I2C_M_NOSTART, they
|
|
are usually only needed to work around device issues:
|
|
|
|
I2C_M_IGNORE_NAK:
|
|
Normally message is interrupted immediately if there is [NA] from the
|
|
client. Setting this flag treats any [NA] as [A], and all of
|
|
message is sent.
|
|
These messages may still fail to SCL lo->hi timeout.
|
|
|
|
I2C_M_NO_RD_ACK:
|
|
In a read message, master A/NA bit is skipped.
|
|
|
|
I2C_M_NOSTART:
|
|
In a combined transaction, no 'S Addr Wr/Rd [A]' is generated at some
|
|
point. For example, setting I2C_M_NOSTART on the second partial message
|
|
generates something like::
|
|
|
|
S Addr Rd [A] [Data] NA Data [A] P
|
|
|
|
If you set the I2C_M_NOSTART variable for the first partial message,
|
|
we do not generate Addr, but we do generate the start condition S.
|
|
This will probably confuse all other clients on your bus, so don't
|
|
try this.
|
|
|
|
This is often used to gather transmits from multiple data buffers in
|
|
system memory into something that appears as a single transfer to the
|
|
I2C device but may also be used between direction changes by some
|
|
rare devices.
|
|
|
|
I2C_M_REV_DIR_ADDR:
|
|
This toggles the Rd/Wr flag. That is, if you want to do a write, but
|
|
need to emit an Rd instead of a Wr, or vice versa, you set this
|
|
flag. For example::
|
|
|
|
S Addr Rd [A] Data [A] Data [A] ... [A] Data [A] P
|
|
|
|
I2C_M_STOP:
|
|
Force a stop condition (P) after the message. Some I2C related protocols
|
|
like SCCB require that. Normally, you really don't want to get interrupted
|
|
between the messages of one transfer.
