I²C Simulation

To test software efficiently, it not sufficient to just simulate the I²C bus behaviour at bit-level. Instead, it must be possible to simulate the I²C Bus communication also.

µVision provides:

  • I²C Bus Dialog pages to review I²C bus activities and data communication.
  • Virtual simulation registers (VTREG) that to review and enter data to the I²C bus.
  • Debug functions you can create to simulate an I²C device that is connected to the microcontroller. In this way, you can simulate your complete application rather than just simulating a small piece of the bus communication.

I²C Bus Dialogs

µVision offers dialog pages that output status information of the I²C interface and list the I²C communication (similar to the CAN communication page see AN147).

I²C Hardware allows you to review and modify the I²C settings trough hardware registers and to show the current I²C interface status.

I²C Hardware Peripheral Dialog

I²C Communication allows you to review the data communication on the I²C bus and to enter data directly on the I²C bus using the Message Generator.

I²C Communication Peripheral Dialog

  • Mode: shows the Master or Slave mode of the I²C data frame.
  • Address: is the I²C bus address used for the I²C data frame.
  • Direction: shows either Transmit or Receive of the I²C data frame.
  • Data: is the content of the I²C data frame.

Note

  • Point (.) stands for an Acknowledge bit.
  • Exclamation mark (!) stands for Not Acknowledge.
