I2C Edge Conditions:
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
I2C devices may be left in a write state if a read was occuring
|
|
and the CPU was reset. This may result in EEPROM data corruption.
|
|
|
|
The edge condition is as follows:
|
|
1) A read operation begins.
|
|
2) I2C controller issues a start command.
|
|
3) The I2C writes the device address.
|
|
4) The CPU is reset at this point.
|
|
|
|
Once the CPU reinitializes and the read is tried again:
|
|
1) The I2C controller issues a start command.
|
|
2) The I2C controller writes the device address.
|
|
3) The I2C controller writes the offset.
|
|
|
|
The EEPROM sees:
|
|
1) START
|
|
2) device address
|
|
3) START "this start is ignored by most EEPROMs"
|
|
4) device address "EEPROM interprets this as offset"
|
|
5) Offset in device, "EEPROM interprets this as data to write"
|
|
|
|
The device will interpret this sequence as a WRITE command and
|
|
write rubbish into itself, i.e. the "offset" will be interpreted
|
|
as data to be written in location "device address".
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
!!!THIS IS AN UNDOCUMENTED I2C BUS BUG, NOT A IBM 4xx BUG!!!
|
|
|
|
This reset edge condition could possibly be present in every I2C
|
|
controller and device available. For boards where a I2C bus reset
|
|
function can be implemented a i2c_init_board() function should be
|
|
provided and enabled by #define'ing CFG_I2C_INIT_BOARD in your
|
|
board's config file. Note that this is NOT necessary when using the
|
|
bit-banging I2C driver (common/soft_i2c.c) as this already includes
|
|
the I2C bus reset sequence.
|

Many thanks to Bill Hunter for finding this serious BUG.
