1.7 I2C Driver Synchronous - I2C EEPROM

This example application shows how to use the I2C driver in synchronous mode to perform operations on the EEPROM.

Description

This example uses the I2C driver in synchronous mode to communicate with the EEPROM to perform write and read operations. This application uses I2C driver to read and write data to EEPROM 3 click board that has AT24CM02 EEPROM on it..

Setting Up AT91Bootstrap loader

To load the application binary onto the target device, we need to use at91bootstrap loader. Refer to the at91bootstrap loader documentation for details on how to configure, build and run bootstrap loader project and use it to bootstrap the application binaries.

Running the Application

  1. Build and program the application using its IDE.
  2. The LED is turned ON when the value read from the EEPROM matched with the written value
