USCI – SPI – I2C Example 1

In this first USCI example, we will see how we can use USCI modules to read a MMA7455L accelerometer in I2C mode and project its readings on a SPI-based ST7735 TFT display. This is an over simplified example and a rudimentary one although it may appear that lot of coding has been done here. Here, the accelerometer’s axes readings are plotted on the TFT display.

Hardware Setup

Explanation

Let’s check the I2C functions of USCI first. USCI B1 is used in I2C mode here. We start by setting alternative roles of I2C GPIO pins as shown below:

GPIO_setAsPeripheralModuleFunctionOutputPin(I2C_port, (I2C_SDA_pin | I2C_SCL_pin));

After setting the I2C pins, the I2C hardware is ready to be initialized.

void USCI_I2C_init(void)
{
    USCI_B_I2C_initMasterParam I2C_param = {0};

    I2C_DIO_init();

    I2C_param.selectClockSource = USCI_B_I2C_CLOCKSOURCE_SMCLK;
    I2C_param.i2cClk = UCS_getSMCLK();
    I2C_param.dataRate = USCI_B_I2C_SET_DATA_RATE_100KBPS;

    USCI_B_I2C_initMaster(USCI_B1_BASE, &I2C_param);

    USCI_B_I2C_enable(USCI_B1_BASE);
}

For initialization, we need to set I2C module’s clock source first. In this case, the clock source is SMCLK. SMCLK, in this example, is running at 1 MHz as it is being sourced by prescaled XT2 clock source.

UCS_initClockSignal(UCS_SMCLK, UCS_XT2CLK_SELECT, UCS_CLOCK_DIVIDER_4);

We have to let the USCI I2C module know the speed of SMCLK and decide our I2C clock rate. Internal mechanism scales the I2C clock source to match the desired I2C data clock rate. Here we set the clock rate to 100 kbps.

After setting all these, we enable the USCI I2C module.

Note that no interrupt has been used as polling is good enough for basic I2C communication.

Now let’s check I2C write operations. Shown below are two types of I2C write operation functions. The first one is coded with driverlib and the other is what we usually do in other microcontrollers and in other software platforms. These are shown to highlight key differences.

void MMA7455L_write_byte(unsigned char address, unsigned char value)
{
    USCI_B_I2C_setSlaveAddress(USCI_B1_BASE, MMA7455L_address);
    USCI_B_I2C_setMode(USCI_B1_BASE, USCI_B_I2C_TRANSMIT_MODE);

    USCI_B_I2C_masterSendMultiByteStart(USCI_B1_BASE, address);
    while(!USCI_B_I2C_masterIsStartSent(USCI_B1_BASE));
    USCI_B_I2C_masterSendMultiByteFinish(USCI_B1_BASE, value);

    while(USCI_B_I2C_isBusBusy(USCI_B1_BASE));
}

The driverlib-based I2C write operation hides several stuffs in contrast to the operation shown below:

void MMA7455L_write_byte(unsigned char address, unsigned char value)
{
    I2C_Start();                
    I2C_Write(MMA7455L_write_address); 
    I2C_Write(address);              
    I2C_Write(value);   
    I2C_Stop();  
    delay_ms(250);
}

Firstly, there is no I2C start and stop command in driverlib as these are hidden and done internally under the hood of driverlib functions. Secondly, we have to mention in our code if the I2C mode of data transaction is a transmission or a reception. Lastly, the I2C bus is polled for I2C bus status. The polling loops till the bus is free. I believe these differences are clear now.

Now let’s see the I2C read operations. Just like the write operations, we will again check differences between driverlib and conventional I2C bus reading method.

unsigned char MMA7455L_read_byte(unsigned char address)
{
    unsigned char value = 0x00;

    USCI_B_I2C_setSlaveAddress(USCI_B1_BASE, MMA7455L_address);
    USCI_B_I2C_setMode(USCI_B1_BASE, USCI_B_I2C_TRANSMIT_MODE);

    USCI_B_I2C_masterSendStart(USCI_B1_BASE);
    USCI_B_I2C_masterSendSingleByte(USCI_B1_BASE, address);

    USCI_B_I2C_setSlaveAddress(USCI_B1_BASE, MMA7455L_address);
    USCI_B_I2C_setMode(USCI_B1_BASE, USCI_B_I2C_RECEIVE_MODE);

    USCI_B_I2C_masterReceiveSingleStart(USCI_B1_BASE);
    value = USCI_B_I2C_masterReceiveSingle(USCI_B1_BASE);

    while(USCI_B_I2C_isBusBusy(USCI_B1_BASE));

    return value;
}

The code snippet below shows conventional I2C bus read:

unsigned char MMA7455L_read_byte(unsigned char address)   
{   
    unsigned char value = 0;
   
    I2C_Start();                                   
    I2C_Write(MMA7455L_write_address);                                            
    I2C_Write(address); 

    I2C_Restart(); 
    I2C_Write(MMA7455L_read_address); 
    value = I2C_Read(0);                         
    I2C_Stop(); 

    return value;               
}

The key differences between these two code snippets above are similar as the ones we already noticed in I2C write codes. I stated similar because there are some new additions to these already existing differences. Firstly, note that there is no I2C restart or start function in driverlib as sending out slave address incorporates that in secret. Secondly, during an I2C read, there is a transmission and a reception session and so there are two USCI modes in a bus read operation. Lastly, note that read acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) is not manually sent in driverlib as again it is done under the hood.

I believe, by now, the driverlib concepts for I2C are clear.

Since we are using a TFT display as an external SPI device in this example and not reading it, we will just be focusing on SPI write operation only. Firstly, we declare all necessary GPIO pins.

We, then, initialize the GPIOs as per pin characteristics. SPI pins, just like I2C pins, are initialized as secondary function pins while the rest are initialized as ordinary GPIOs.   

void SPI_DIO_init(void)
{
    GPIO_setAsPeripheralModuleFunctionInputPin(MISO_port, MISO_pin);

    GPIO_setAsPeripheralModuleFunctionOutputPin(MOSI_port, MOSI_pin);
    GPIO_setAsPeripheralModuleFunctionOutputPin(CLK_port, CLK_pin);

    GPIO_setAsOutputPin(RST_port, RST_pin);
    GPIO_setDriveStrength(RST_port, RST_pin, GPIO_FULL_OUTPUT_DRIVE_STRENGTH);

    GPIO_setAsOutputPin(RS_port, RS_pin);
    GPIO_setDriveStrength(RS_port, RS_pin, GPIO_FULL_OUTPUT_DRIVE_STRENGTH);

    GPIO_setAsOutputPin(CS_port, CS_pin);
    GPIO_setDriveStrength(CS_port, CS_pin, GPIO_FULL_OUTPUT_DRIVE_STRENGTH);
}

Next, we initialize the USCI B0 module in SPI mode.

void USCI_SPI_init(void)
{
    USCI_B_SPI_initMasterParam SPI_param = {0};

    SPI_DIO_init();

    SPI_param.selectClockSource = USCI_B_SPI_CLOCKSOURCE_SMCLK;
    SPI_param.clockSourceFrequency = UCS_getSMCLK();
    SPI_param.desiredSpiClock = 2000000;
    SPI_param.msbFirst = USCI_B_SPI_MSB_FIRST;
    SPI_param.clockPhase = USCI_B_SPI_PHASE_DATA_CAPTURED_ONFIRST_CHANGED_ON_NEXT;
    SPI_param.clockPolarity = USCI_B_SPI_CLOCKPOLARITY_INACTIVITY_HIGH;
    
    USCI_B_SPI_initMaster(USCI_B0_BASE, &SPI_param);

    USCI_B_SPI_enable(USCI_B0_BASE);
}

The first part SPI module’s initialization is the initialization of required GPIOs.

Like I2C, we have to declare the source of SPI clock (here SMCLK), its frequency and the SPI clock speed. SPI needs additional info like clock polarity, clock phase and data orientation. These are also needed to be set.

After setting all these, we have our USCI SPI module ready to rock-&-roll. 

SPI write is very simple and straight forward. We just have to write desired value(s) and wait for the SPI bus to get free. As we all know, for most SPI devices, chip select pin needs to be low prior to a read/write operation and high after completion of read/write. This is done here too.  

void ST7735_Write(unsigned char value, unsigned char mode)
{
    CS_pin_low();
    
    if(mode != 0)
    {
        RS_pin_high();
    }
    else
    {
        RS_pin_low();
    }

    USCI_B_SPI_transmitData(USCI_B0_BASE, value);
    while(USCI_B_SPI_isBusy(USCI_B0_BASE));
    
    CS_pin_high();
}

The demo here reads a MMA7455L accelerometer and plots a circle on a ST7735 TFT display. The coordinates of the circle are based on the X-Y values of the accelerometer. The accelerometer’s axes values are also displayed.

  • Hi,
    Im interfacing MSP430F5529 with MAX17055 fuel guage. while reading 16 bit value, the first byte im receiving is 0. so while reading multiple registers continuously the data exchange is happening, but im getting the correct data. Can anyone suggest me what will be the issue? why im getting 0 in first byte?

    read16_bit data code:

    uint16_t value = 0;
    USCI_B_I2C_setslaveaddress(USCI_B1_BASE, slave_address);
    USCI_B_I2C_setmode(USCI_B1_BASE, USCI_B_I2C_TRANSMIT_MODE);
    USCI_B_I2C_masterSendStart(USCI_B1_BASE);
    while (!USCI_B_I2C_masterSendStart(USCI_B1_BASE));

    USCI_B_I2C_mastterSendSingleByte(USCI_B1_BASE, reg_address);

    USCI_B_I2C_setslaveaddress(USCI_B1_BASE, slave_address);
    USCI_B_I2C_setmode(USCI_B1_BASE, USCI_B_I2C_TRANSMIT_MODE);
    USCI_B_I2C_masterReceiveMultiByteStart(USCI_B1_BASE);

    uint8_t lb = USCI_B_I2C_masterReceiveMultiByteNext(USCI_B1_BASE);
    uint8_t hb = USCI_B_I2C_masterReceiveMultiByteFinish(USCI_B1_BASE);

    while (USCI_B_I2C_isBusBusy(USCI_B_BASE));

    value = lb << 8;
    value |= hb;
    return value;

  • Hi, im trying to send the command from the terminal view. i can able to send the command and tried to blink p1.0 led in msp430f5529 controller, its working fine. And im using led driver IS31FL3236A interfaced with msp430f5529 controller, i can able to interface im getting the expected output.

    now i need to send the command from seriak monitor based on that command i2c communication need to start. both communication are working fine, when it runs separately. its not working when i tried to combine.

    any one had any idea, why it is happening or what will be the issue?

    • It could be due to:

      1. conflicts in clock settings
      2. hardware conflict like pin mapping
      3. code is getting stuck or waiting for one communication line to finish
      4. use of polling method instead of interrupt-driven coding

      • Hi, thank you for the respose.
        Do I need to use different clock initialization for I2C and UART communication? if YES, can you explain how to do that?

      • Is there any example on how to implement polling method in uart?

        • Why go for polling method when it is a blocking method of coding? It is better to use interrupts instead at least for UART receive.

          • yes!! currently in my code, only for uart im using interrupts to recieve command from serial monitor. Im not using interrupt for I2C communication.

          • so the issue is must be in clock initialization. right?

            For UART, im using USCI_A1_BASE. and for I2C, im using USCI_B1_BASE.

            And another thing i need to ask is, in uart when i tried blink led(p1.0) in msp430f5529 by passing command. here, without clock I’m getting output. how it is possible?

            And for both i2c and uart i gave SMCLK with 1Mhz

  • I am surprised and happy to find this tutorial on the F5529 as TI makes a lot of different devices.
    Thank you very much for putting in the extra knowledge in each segment, made reading worthwhile.
    Good Work!

  • lovely tutorial but to be honest I don’t think I’d be investing my time on this board to start with it’s not cheap and readily available as the stm32 boards can you please do more tutorials on stm32 board’s and the stc micros thanks

  • Hello, I try to program MSP430FR6047 but i get error “the debug interface to the device has been secured”. when flashing using uniflash and when program using CCS this happen. can you help me to solve this problem

  • Hello
    I am doing project of msp430g2553 interface(using i2c communication) with temp 100(temperature sensor) and try to read the temperature in dispaly(16*2) but didn’t get the out put (using code composer studio) can u share me any example code for this project

    Thank you sir,

  • Where is lcd_print.h?

  • You want the truth? TI makes and sell “underpowered micros”, you know? Low everything, not only the power but also peripherals. So the price is not justified.

    Otherwise, if I’ll move there, I’ll introduce them to my small hobby projects – there are still some advantages.
