1.7 I2C Driver Asynchronous - Multi-client

This example uses the I2C driver in asynchronous mode and demonstrates the multi-client feature. The example uses a IO1 Xplained Pro Extension Kit that has a temperature sensor and an EEPROM, both interfaced on the same I2C bus.

Two application tasks are created which act as clients to the same instance of the I2C driver:

APP_I2C_TEMP_SENSOR_Tasks:

Reads temperature every 1 second, prints on console and notifies the EEPROM client. The Time System Service is used to generate a callback every 1 second.

APP_I2C_EEPROM_Tasks:

Writes temperature values to the EEPROM once the temperature read complete notification is received. The task also reads and prints the last five saved temperature data from the EEPROM when user enters any key on the console.

To build the application, refer to the following table and open the project using its IDE.

The following table shows the target hardware for the application projects.

1. Open the Terminal application (Ex.:Tera term) on the computer.
2. Connect to the PKOB4 Virtual COM port and configure the serial settings as follows:
   • Baud : 115200
   • Data : 8 Bits
   • Parity : None
   • Stop : 1 Bit
   • Flow Control : None
3. Build the application using its IDE
4. Observe the temperature values getting printed on the terminal application every 1 second and temperature value written into EEPROM notification as shown below
5. Press any key on the terminal, last 5 temperature values will be read from the EEPROM and displayed as shown below
