1.3.25.65 SERCOMx_I2C_Read Function

C

/* x = SERCOM instance number */

/* I2C master mode */

bool SERCOMx_I2C_Read(uint16_t address, uint8_t *pdata, uint32_t length)	

Summary

Reads data from the slave.

Description

This function reads the data from a slave on the bus. The function will attempt to read length number of bytes into pdata buffer from a slave whose address is specified as address. The I2C Master generates a Start condition, reads the data and then generates a Stop Condition. If the slave NAKs the request or a bus error was encountered on the bus, the transfer is terminated. The application can call the SERCOMx_I2C_TransferStatusGet() function and the SERCOMx_I2C_ErrorGet() function to know the cause of the error. The function is non-blocking. It initiates bus activity and returns immediately. The transfer is completed in the peripheral interrupt. A transfer request cannot be placed when another transfer is in progress. Calling the read function when another function is already in progress will cause the function to return false. The library will call the registered callback function when the transfer has terminated if callback is registered.

Precondition

SERCOMx_I2C_Initialize must have been called for the associated SERCOM I2C instance.

Parameters

Returns

true - The request was placed successfully and the bus activity was initiated

false - The request fails, if there was already a transfer in progress when this function was called

Example

uint8_t myData [NUM_BYTES];

if(!SERCOM0_I2C_Read( SLAVE_ADDR, &myData[0], NUM_BYTES ))
{
    // error handling
}

Remarks

None.
