How to send data from MCU over I2C?

[Berger1]

I have array unsigned char data[1024] in RAM , and I need to send them to the display on I2C, this is not problem HAL_I2C_Master_Transmit( data ) works fine.

Now I need to send the same data, but so that the sequence starts with a control byte.

is IT possible to use two function calls

HAL_I2C_Master_Transmit(Control_byte):

HAL_I2C_Master_Transmit(data);

Respectively, the result on i2C will be the same as when I send

dataWithCB=Control_byte+data;

HAL_I2C_Master_Transmit(dataWithCB):

or how else to send the data so that the result is the same

Thanks for info.

What specifically does the display data sheet say it needs?

Some connect to the I2C slave, send an address, and then a byte stream. The internal address may be 1 or 2 bytes wide.

One could presumably use two calls, copy to a temp buffer, or daisy chain from a scatter-gather list using the interrupt versions.

See HAL_I2C_Mem_Write() forms

HAL_I2C_Master_Seq_Transmit_IT(&hi2c, I2C_ADDR, &control_byte, 1, I2C_FIRST_FRAME);
 
/* wait transmit complete */
while (HAL_I2C_GetState(&hi2c) != HAL_I2C_STATE_READY);
 
HAL_I2C_Master_Seq_Transmit_IT(&hi2c, I2C_ADDR, data, sizeof(data), I2C_LAST_FRAME);
 
/* wait transmit complete */
while (HAL_I2C_GetState(&hi2c) != HAL_I2C_STATE_READY);

don't know if this works for you
