I2C to SPI click

I2C to SPi Click is an all-in-one solution which allows serving as an interface between a standard I2C-bus of a microcontroller and an SPi bus, which allows the microcontroller to communicate directly with SPi devices through its I2C-bus. It is equipped with the stacking headers, so it can be easily connected.

Click library

  • Author : MikroE Team
  • Date : maj 2020.
  • Type : I2C type

Software Support

We provide a library for the I2cToSpi Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for I2cToSpi Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • Config Object Initialization function.

    void i2ctospi_cfg_setup ( i2ctospi_cfg_t *cfg );

  • Initialization function.

    I2CTOSPI_RETVAL i2ctospi_init ( i2ctospi_t *ctx, i2ctospi_cfg_t *cfg );

  • Click Default Configuration function.

    void i2ctospi_default_cfg ( i2ctospi_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • Function SPI write the byte of data to the targeted 8-bit register address of the SC18IS602B I2C-bus to SPI bridge on the I2C to SPI click board.

    void i2ctospi_spi_write_byte ( i2ctospi_t *ctx, i2ctospi_spi_t *spi, uint8_t write_data );

  • Function SPI read the byte of data from the targeted 8-bit register address of the SC18IS602B I2C-bus to SPI bridge on the I2C to SPI click board.

    uint8_t i2ctospi_spi_read_byte ( i2ctospi_t *ctx, i2ctospi_spi_t *spi );

  • Function clear interrupt is generated by the SC18IS602B after any SPI transmission has been completed.

    void i2ctospi_clear_interrupt ( i2ctospi_t *ctx );

Examples Description

I2C to SPi Click allows serving as an interface between a standard I2C-bus of a microcontroller and an SPi bus, which allows the microcontroller to communicate directly with SPi devices through its I2C-bus. By offering an I2C-bus slave-transmitter or slave-receiver and SPI master, this Click controls all the SPi bus-specific sequences, protocol, and timing. It also has its own internal oscillator, and it supports the SPi chip select output that may be configured as GPIO when not used.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initialization driver enable's - I2C, hardware reset, SS0 ( CS ) configured to be used as slave select outputs, set the configuration of SPI: order MSB first, clock Idle low, leading-edge transition, SPI clock rate to 115kHz, set SPI EEPROM write enable SS0, clear interrupt, clear RT5 register, sets starting time: hours, minutes and seconds ( enable counting ), also write log.

void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );
// Click initialization.
I2CTOSPI_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
i2ctospi_init( &i2ctospi, &cfg );
i2ctospi_default_cfg( &i2ctospi );
//Set Time : 23h 59m 48s
rtc5_clear( &i2ctospi, &i2ctospi_spi );
rtc5_set_time_hours( &i2ctospi, &i2ctospi_spi, 23 );
Delay_1ms( );
rtc5_set_time_minutes( &i2ctospi, &i2ctospi_spi, 59 );
Delay_1ms( );
rtc5_set_time_seconds( &i2ctospi, &i2ctospi_spi, 48 );
Delay_1ms( );
}

Application Task

This is an example which demonstrates the use of RTC 5 click is wired to I2C to SPI click board. I2C to SPI click communicates with register via the I2C interface, serve as an interface between a standard I2C-bus of a microcontroller and an SPI bus. RTC 5 click communicates with register via SPI interface. In this examples, we display RTC time which we received reading from the target register address of MCP79510 chip on RTC 5 click board via I2C interface of I2C to SPI click board. Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes. All data logs write on usb uart changes for every 1 sec.

void application_task ( void )
{
time_seconds = rtc5_get_time_seconds( &i2ctospi, &i2ctospi_spi );
Delay_1ms( );
time_minutes = rtc5_get_time_minutes( &i2ctospi, &i2ctospi_spi );
Delay_1ms( );
time_hours = rtc5_get_time_hours( &i2ctospi, &i2ctospi_spi );
Delay_1ms( );
if ( time_seconds_new != time_seconds )
{
log_printf( &logger, " Time : " );
display_log_uart( time_hours );
log_printf( &logger, ":" );
display_log_uart( time_minutes );
log_printf( &logger, ":" );
display_log_uart( time_seconds );
log_printf( &logger, "\r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, "------------------\r\n" );
time_seconds_new = time_seconds;
}
Delay_1ms( );
}

Note

Additional Functions :
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be  installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
  • MikroSDK.Board
  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.I2cToSpi
Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need 
USB UART click, 
USB UART 2 Click or 
RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for 
development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The 
terminal available in all Mikroelektronika 
compilers, or any other terminal application 
of your choice, can be used to read the message.
