This document describes the i2c protocol. Or will, when it is finished :-)

|
|
Key to symbols
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
S (1 bit) : Start bit
|
|
P (1 bit) : Stop bit
|
|
Rd/Wr (1 bit) : Read/Write bit. Rd equals 1, Wr equals 0.
|
|
A, NA (1 bit) : Accept and reverse accept 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
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This corresponds to i2c_master_send.
|
|
|
|
S Addr Wr [A] Data [A] Data [A] ... [A] Data [A] P
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple receive transaction
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
This corresponds to i2c_master_recv
|
|
|
|
S Addr Rd [A] [Data] A [Data] A ... A [Data] NA P
|
|
|
|
|
|
Combined transactions
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This corresponds to i2c_transfer
|
|
|
|
They are just like the above transactions, but instead of a stop bit P
|
|
a start bit 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
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
We have found some I2C devices that needs the following modifications:
|
|
|
|
Flag 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 startbit S. This will
|
|
probably confuse all other clients on your bus, so don't try this.
|
|
|
|
Flags 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
|
|
|
|
Flags 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.
|
|
|
|
Flags I2C_M_NO_RD_ACK
|
|
In a read message, master A/NA bit is skipped.
