I2C¶

I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a synchronous, multi-master, multi-slave, packet switched, single-ended, serial bus

It is widely used for attaching lower-speed peripheral ICs to processors and microcontrollers in short-distance, intra-board communication.

MiraOS support a single I2C master interface to communicate with slaves.

The write sequence is:

-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
Slave  |         | A |        | A |   | A |...|   | A |   |
-----------------------------------------------------------
SLAVE+W = slave address followed by 0 for write.
CMD/RA = command or register address to send to slave.
S = start condition
A = ACK
D = data byte
P = stop condition

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`context`	Configuration block for the I2C module.
`write_buffer`	The data to be written to slave device. Command or register address followed by the data to write to register of slave.
