A software defined, industry-standard, I2C library that allows you to control an I2C bus via xCORE ports. I2C is a two-wire hardware serial interface, first developed by Philips. The components in the libary are controlled via C using the XMOS multicore extensions (xC) and can either act as I2C master or slave.
The libary is compatible with multiple slave devices existing on the same bus. The I2C master component can be used by multiple tasks within the xCORE device (each addressing the same or different slave devices).
The library can also be used to implement multiple I2C physical interfaces on a single xCORE device simultaneously.
- I2C master and I2C slave modes.
- Supports speed up to 400 Kb/s (I2C Fast-mode).
- Clock stretching support.
- Synchronous and asynchronous APIs for efficient usage of processing cores.
The CHANGELOG contains information about the current and previous versions. For a list of direct dependencies, look for DEPENDENT_MODULES in lib_i2c/module_build_info.
