How to use the HAL I3C Library

[sh.lee]

Hello

I'm using NUCLEO-H503 to make an I3C master, and I have some issues.

1. I sent the ENTDAA command for I3C communication, but it does not go to HAL_I3C_STATE_READY.
The code written after several attempts is as follows.
HAL_I3C_Ctrl_DynAddrAssign(&hi3c1, &payload, I3C_RSTDAA_THEN_ENTDAA, timeout);
HAL_I3C_Ctrl_SetDynAddr(&hi3c1, DynAddr);
hi3c1.State = HAL_I3C_STATE_READY;
Is this a normal way to use the Library?

2. Please tell me how to read and write data on I3C slab.
For I2C, HAL_I2C_Master_Transmit and HAL_I2C_Master_Receive were used to communicate with the slave device.
Is there a function like this for I3C?
The function I found is HAL_I3C_Ctrl_Transmit, but do not work in my board.
Please let me know the functions you use for I3C communication and if you have a suitable example.

I am sorry for my poor English.

Here are the examples. You can find them also in the "repository" directory on your PC where the STM32H5 cube firmware has been installed.

Dear @sh.lee ,

Here is our application Note that describes I3C vs I2C and practical examples and use case . In I3C we have Controllers and Targets and no more the old terminology used in legacy I2C .

have a great day

Hello @sh.lee , 

I suggest you this code : 

 

 /* Assign dynamic address processus */
 do
 {
 status = HAL_I3C_Ctrl_DynAddrAssign(&hi3c1, &payload[1], I3C_RSTDAA_THEN_ENTDAA, 5000);
 if (status == HAL_BUSY)
 {
 HAL_I3C_Ctrl_SetDynAddr(&hi3c1, DynAddr);
 }
 TargetDesc1.TARGET_BCR_DCR_PID = (uint64_t) payload; 
 }while (status == HAL_BUSY);

When I used the code above, I was stuck in hi3c1.State=HAL_I3C_STATE_BUSY_DAA.

What should I do to return to HAL_I3C_STATE_READY?

Did you get this error also when using IT mode ? (I3C_Controller_ENTDAA_IT example in the cubefw)

 

Could you check the available examples in the STM32H5 CubeFW : 
STM32Cube_FW_H5_V1.1.1\Projects\NUCLEO-H503RB\Examples\I3C

And for for more information about I3C communication you can check the I3C AN section 9.8 : Introduction to I3C for STM32H5 series MCU - Application note

Hi @sh.lee , 

For I3C bus, there are four main types of devices :
• I3C main controller
• I3C secondary controller
• I3C targets
• Legacy I2C target

You can communicate using functions like : 
HAL_I3C_Ctrl_Transmit()
HAL_I3C_Ctrl_Receive()
HAL_I3C_Tgt_Transmit()
HAL_I3C_Tgt_Receive()

For more details you can refer to the I3C application note ( section 9 Examples of I3C communications )
