i2c bus not work i think ?

Altera_Forum · ‎04-22-2005

I have add the I2C opencores component in SOPC builder, add the logic in quartus and assigned the pins.

copiled the kernell en filesystem.

i have started the i2cset

I get this on my console.

Has someone any suggestions what i can do ??

can you run i2cdetect and see what it finds?

Did you enable the i2c support in the kernel? If not,

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

--- Quote Start ---

Under the "Linux Kernel Configuration" interface, please goto submenu "Device Drivers" --> "I2C support", then enable the following items:

I2C device interface

I2C Algorithms ---> Opencores I2C interface

I2C hardware Bus support ---> Opencores I2C Adapter[/b]

--- Quote End ---

Make sure the following items are in the root filesystem:

I was forgot to enable the option:

I2C hardware Bus support ---> Opencores I2C Adapter

when i build the kernell now ik get some error's

the same in the topic " I2C Build errors, Where to define na_i2c_* variables "

your anser on that topic is

They are defined in SOPC builder, and exported to Linux through a dynamic generated header file called nios2_system.h[/b]

--- Quote End ---

That file is in the worspace directory of the kernell\build\inlcude

Must i adjust the file ?

What must i add or change?

Could you help me whith this ?

Altera_Forum · ‎04-26-2005

I don't think you can change that file manually. It is checked (and updated if necessary) according to the system ptf file each time you build the kernel, so your manual changes will be removed.

You need to instantiate the opencores i2c component in SOPC builder.

Altera_Forum · ‎04-26-2005

I don't uderstand ?

I just add the component to SOCP builder

http://oege.ie.hva.nl/~koopma59/sopc1.gif (http://oege.ie.hva.nl/~koopma59/sopc1.gif)

-> generate -> update the symbol -> assing pins's -> run compilation -> generate the kernell whit i2c support ?

than i get the error's

also i have try to add a "interface to user logic" i2c then add verilog files en so on. But i get the same kernell building error's

Altera_Forum · ‎04-26-2005

sorry, it is me who do not understand. The driver assumes there are 2 i2c controllers, (this is bad). Can you go to delete one from the source? It is in file drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-oc.c. Just remove all occurences of oc_xxxx_1 (oc_data_1, oc_ops_1, oc_hw_1, etc) and code accessing them.

Altera_Forum · ‎04-26-2005

I have got the kernell build whit no error's.

This i think the solution is:

When i add the component to the system in SOPC builder the name is "opencores_i2c_0"

i rename it to "i2c_0" in the SOPC builder, the name in the nios2_system.h changes also. You must rerun SOPC an Quartus.

Then i build the kernell en there where only error's on "i2c_1" and not on "i2c_0".

I add a second i2c master to SOPC and also rename it to "i2c_1" then the kernell build;s wihout error's

I don't have my kit with me so i will upload the kernell tomorrow and see if it is working.

I it 22:00 hour at The Netherland now

So it is just a name problem !!! I let you know if it is working tommorow

It is working !!

I get also pulses on the pins that i assginged.

wehen i run "i2cdetect -f 0" or i2cdetect -f 1"
