I2C interface on Tiva - c

Question

On a Tiva (Texas Instruments Cortex M4F ARM) TM4C129XNCZAD I have a problem with I2C interface. I have enabled both a master on I2C module 4 thru port K and a slave on I2C module 6 thru port B. I have interconnected both I2C modules. Using Texas Instruments driver library I tried to send 1 byte using I2C_MASTER_CMD_SINGLE_SEND command. I spend a lot of time to make it working, but SCK line keeps Low logical level. I followed exactly TivaWare™ Peripheral Driver Library USER’S GUIDE, but the communication doesn't work. Has anybody some experience with it?
There is my code:

Answer 1

The problem has been resolved. There were issues:
It is essential to populate external pull ups.
Use GPIOPinTypeI2C() 2nd parameter as a bit field instead of a bit number.
The procedure SysCtlClockSet() is dedicated specially to TM4C123 devices. Instead use g_ui32SysClock = SysCtlClockFreqSet((SYSCTL_OSC_MAIN | SYSCTL_XTAL_25MHZ | SYSCTL_USE_PLL | SYSCTL_CFG_VCO_320), 40000000);
For a Master clock setting do not use SysCtlClockGet() procedure. This is also dedicated to TM4C123 devices. Instead use I2CMasterInitExpClk(I2C4_BASE, g_ui32SysClock, false);
Here is the updated code,

I was able to get I2C working on TIVA Launchpad TM4C123GH6PM. I used the the Tivaware library. I created 3 functions, init and write. Here are the functions.
Initialization
void initI2C0(void)
{
SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_I2C0);
//reset I2C module
SysCtlPeripheralReset(SYSCTL_PERIPH_I2C0);
//enable GPIO peripheral that contains I2C
SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOB);
// Configure the pin muxing for I2C0 functions on port B2 and B3.
GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PB2_I2C0SCL);
GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PB3_I2C0SDA);
// Select the I2C function for these pins.
GPIOPinTypeI2CSCL(GPIO_PORTB_BASE, GPIO_PIN_2);
GPIOPinTypeI2C(GPIO_PORTB_BASE, GPIO_PIN_3);
// Enable and initialize the I2C0 master module. Use the system clock for
// the I2C0 module. The last parameter sets the I2C data transfer rate.
// If false the data rate is set to 100kbps and if true the data rate will
// be set to 400kbps.
I2CMasterInitExpClk(I2C0_BASE, SysCtlClockGet(), false);
//clear I2C FIFOs
HWREG(I2C0_BASE + I2C_O_FIFOCTL) = 80008000;
}
I2C Write Function
void writeI2C0(uint16_t device_address, uint16_t device_register, uint8_t device_data)
{
//specify that we want to communicate to device address with an intended write to bus
I2CMasterSlaveAddrSet(I2C0_BASE, device_address, false);
//register to be read
I2CMasterDataPut(I2C0_BASE, device_register);
//send control byte and register address byte to slave device
I2CMasterControl(I2C0_BASE, I2C_MASTER_CMD_BURST_SEND_START);
//wait for MCU to finish transaction
while(I2CMasterBusy(I2C0_BASE));
I2CMasterSlaveAddrSet(I2C0_BASE, device_address, true);
//specify data to be written to the above mentioned device_register
I2CMasterDataPut(I2C0_BASE, device_data);
//wait while checking for MCU to complete the transaction
I2CMasterControl(I2C0_BASE, I2C_MASTER_CMD_BURST_RECEIVE_FINISH);
//wait for MCU & device to complete transaction
while(I2CMasterBusy(I2C0_BASE));
}
