AN5879 (I3C) for NUCLEO-H563ZI and XNUCLEO-IKS4A1

[DanLumi]

Hello ST Team,

I'm trying to bring up I3C using a NUCLEO-H563ZI with XNUCLEO-IKS4A1 to boards stress I3C, and I'm using AN5879, which was thought for NUCLEO-H503RB and X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3 boards.

Regardless of the above, I still believe we should be able to work with these boards as they are I3C compatible, and the XNUCLEO-IKS4A1 is marked as the new alternative for the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3 board.

I'm following AN5879 to introduce myself to I3C (and the entire STM32CubeIDE ecosystem), and I have found issues adding the extra code stated on page 31 (software settings for dynamic addressing).

Where precisely should these lines be introduced? For the four code blocks, I can identify the second and the fourth ones belonging to the main.c file. What about the first and third blocks? For the first, it seems I should create a new header file stm32_i3c_desc_target1.h, but even when creating this file and adding a reference in main.h the compiler struggles to find "TargetDesc_Typedef". My best guess is to include the third block at the last part of the MX_I3C1_Init function described in main.c.

Returning to the fourth block:

 

void HAL_I3C_TgtReqDynamicAddrCallback(I3C_HandleTypeDef *hi3c, uint64_t targetPayload)
{
	TargetDesc1.TARGET_BCR_DCR_PID = targetPayload;
	HAL_I3C_Ctrl_SetDynAddr(hi3c, TargetDesc1.DYNAMIC_ADDR);
}
void HAL_I3C_CtrlDAACpltCallback(I3C_HandleTypeDef *hi3c)
{
	HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_5, GPIO_PIN_SET);
}

 

Could you please give me a hand checking if this GPIO reference to pin 5 and GPIOA is still valid for the NUCLEO-H563ZI board?

Thank you, D.

I found out some answers after opening an example demo using I3C (I3C_Controller_Direct_Command_DMA).

The first block:

#define TARGET1_DYN_ADDR 0x32

/********************/
/* Target Descriptor */
/********************/
TargetDesc_TypeDef TargetDesc1 =
{
 "TARGET_ID1",
 DEVICE_ID1,
 0x0000000000000000,
 0x00,
 TARGET1_DYN_ADDR,
};

should go in a new header file (named here desc_target1.h as in the example) and referenced in the main.c after including main.h:

#include "main.h"
#include "desc_target1.h"

The typedef description should be added in main.h:

/* USER CODE BEGIN ET */
/* Target descriptor */
typedef struct {
 char * TARGET_NAME; /*!< Marketing Target reference */
 uint32_t TARGET_ID; /*!< Target Identifier on the Bus */
 uint64_t TARGET_BCR_DCR_PID; /*!< Concatenation value of PID, BCR and DCR of the target */
 uint8_t STATIC_ADDR; /*!< Static Address of the target, value found in the datasheet of the device */
 uint8_t DYNAMIC_ADDR; /*!< Dynamic Address of the target preset by software/application */
} TargetDesc_TypeDef;
/* USER CODE END ET */

The device ID also needs to be defined in the main.h file:

/* USER CODE BEGIN Private defines */

/* Define Target Identifier */
#define DEVICE_ID1 0U

/* USER CODE END Private defines */

The third block can go after I3C is initialized (MX_I3C1_Init() in main.c):

/* USER CODE BEGIN 2 */

 /* Assign dynamic address processus */
 if (HAL_I3C_Ctrl_DynAddrAssign_IT(&hi3c1, I3C_ONLY_ENTDAA) != HAL_OK)
 {
	 /* Error_Handler() function is called when error occurs. */
	 Error_Handler();
 }

/* USER CODE END 2 */

Regarding the last doubt from the fourth block,

/* USER CODE BEGIN 4 */
void HAL_I3C_TgtReqDynamicAddrCallback(I3C_HandleTypeDef *hi3c, uint64_t targetPayload)
{
	TargetDesc1.TARGET_BCR_DCR_PID = targetPayload;
	HAL_I3C_Ctrl_SetDynAddr(hi3c, TargetDesc1.DYNAMIC_ADDR);
}
void HAL_I3C_CtrlDAACpltCallback(I3C_HandleTypeDef *hi3c)
{
	HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_5, GPIO_PIN_SET);
}
/* USER CODE END 4 */

I can now tell (please correct if I'm wrong) HAL_I3C_CtrlDAACpltCallback is called as an acknowledgement of a successful dynamic address assignment. So the way to tell the user of this can be, for example, a LED turn on:

void HAL_I3C_CtrlDAACpltCallback(I3C_HandleTypeDef *hi3c)
{
	BSP_LED_On(LED_GREEN);
}

 After these additions, I can compile, program the board and see SCL/SDA transactions.
