How do I verify I have my I2C configured correctly for the VL53L5CX?

Here is a function. Put it at the top of your program. When it runs correctly, you can remove it secure that your I2C is not byte or word swapped.

/* --------------------------------------------------
 * --- This function can be used to test VL53L5CX I2C 
 * --------------------------------------------------
 */
 
uint8_t vl53l5cx_test_i2c(VL53L5CX_Configuration *p_dev){
	uint8_t status = VL53L5CX_STATUS_OK;
	printf("Starting VL53L5CX I2C test...\n");
 
/* To check the I2C RdByte/WrByte function :
 * Inside the function “vl53l5cx_is_alive()�?, it will call I2C RdByte/WrByte to
 * read device and verion ID. which can help you to verify the I2C RdByte/WrByte
 * functions at same time.

	status |= WrByte(&(p_dev->platform), 0x7fff, 0x00);
