1.5 I2C EEPROM Read Write

This example application demonstrates how to use the I2C peripheral to write and read from the I2C serial EEPROM memory.

Description

This example uses the I2C 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 CEC 1736 Development Board

  • Interface the EEPROM 3 click Board by making the following connections:
    • Connect a wire from GPIO140 (I2C06_SCL) available on Pin 28 of P4 header to the SCL pin of the EEPROM 3 click board
    • Connect a wire from GPIO132 (I2C06_SDA) available on Pin 26 of P4 header to the SDA pin of the EEPROM 3 click board
    • Connect GND and VCC between the EEPROM 3 click Board and the CEC 1736 Development Board
  • Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable

Running the Application

  1. Build and Program the application using its IDE
  2. LED indicates 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

The following table provides the LED name:
