STM32F4 I2Cv1 doesn't see the aknowledge

[asiemasz]

Hi,
I'm trying to communicate with vl53l0x through the I2C interface. I checked both on an oscilloscope and logic analyzer and signals look good, but the software returns a not acknowledged status. I've seen some other topics about i2c issues on STM32F4 here and added pullup (4k7) to SDA and SCL lines, however, nothing is changing. I checked both fast and standard I2C modes.
While using STMCube and HAL both reading and writing to the device work (with the same pins configuration).
Pins are configurated with macros PAL_MODE_ALTERNATE(4), PAL_STM32_OSPEED_HIGHEST, PAL_STM32_OSPEED_HIGHEST and PAL_MODE_OUTPUT_OPENDRAIN. Any hints?

Hi,

I would check the physical connection, it is very critical, how log are wires for example?

Try this:

Code: Select all

PAL_MODE_ALTERNATE(4) | PAL_STM32_OTYPE_OPENDRAIN

Try this:

Code: Select all

PAL_MODE_ALTERNATE(4) | PAL_STM32_OTYPE_OPENDRAIN

it is like that already.

Giovanni, wires are just regular short prototype connectors. As I said I tested the same configuration with STM32 Cube HAL and all works without errors.

Hi,

Are you using the correct address?

Note that in ChibiOS you need to pass the address field value without the RW bit, not the whole 1st byte value.

Yes, I also checked the signals from both chibios and Cube and they look the same - it has aknowledge.

Hi,
Is the I2C config something like this?

Code: Select all

const I2CConfig _i2cMainCfg = {
    OPMODE_I2C,
    50000,
    STD_DUTY_CYCLE,
};


I know this configuration works on F413 with BME280 configured for I2C use.
(Should be using dot notation for member access but this is old code).

Yes, it looks the same for lower clock frequencies as well.

[asiemasz]

Funny enough, I2C2 works with the same configuration.

[Giovanni]

Strange, is it possible I2C1 pins are shorted or connected to something else on the board? defective device?

Unless it is a GPIO setting problem it should be an HW problem.
