1.40 TWIHS EEPROM Read Write
This example application shows how to use the TWIHS peripheral to write and read from the I2C serial EEPROM memory.
Description
This example uses the TWIHS peripheral library to write an array of values to the I2C Serial EEPROM and verify the value written by reading the values back and comparing it to the value written.

Setting Up SAMA5D29 Curiosity Development Board
- To run the demo, the following additional hardware are required:
- Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a Type-C USB cable
- Connect EEPROM Click 3 Board to MikroBus1 (J19) connector on the board as per below Pin Connections table
-
J19 MikroBus1 Pins EEPROM 3 CLICK Pins PIN 11 (PD4) SDA PIN 12 (PD5) SCL PIN 08 GND PIN 07 3V3
Running the Application
- Build the application using its IDE
- The LED indicates the success or failure:
- The LED is turned ON when the value read from the EEPROM matched with the written value
- The LED is turned OFF when the value read from the EEPROM did not match with the written value
