I am trying to implement a driver for a sensor(ST-VL53L5CX) on an AVR MCU (AVR128DB48).
The driver comes prewritten, with a few I2C functions for the user to fill in (So the sensor can be implemented on different platforms).
The driver is made up of multiple c files. API.c, API.h, Buffers.h, Platform.c and Platform.h.
The firmware for the sensor is stored in the Buffers.h file as an array. e.g:
const uint8_t Sensor_Firmware[] = {0x05,...,0x01};
This needs to be written to the sensor. To do this, I call a function I have written to write multiple bytes to the I2C line:
uint8_t WrMulti(VL53L5CX_Platform *p_platform,uint16_t
RegisterAdress,uint8_t *p_values,uint32_t size)
{
uint8_t count = 0;
uint32_t new_size = size + 2;
//Split Register address into 2 bytes
uint8_t temp0 = (uint8_t)((RegisterAdress & 0xFF00)>> 8);
uint8_t temp1 = (uint8_t)(RegisterAdress & 0x00FF);
//Create new array to hold Register Address and p_values
uint8_t temp_array[new_size] ;
for (int i = 0; i <new_size; i++)
{
temp_array[i] = 0;
}
//Fill temp_array with register address and p_values
temp_array[0] = temp0;
temp_array[1] = temp1;
for (int i = 2; i < (new_size); i++ )
{
temp_array[i] = p_values[count];
count++;
}
//I2C
uint8_t status = 255;
while(!I2C0_Open(p_platform->address)); // sit here until we get the bus..
I2C0_SetBuffer(temp_array,new_size);
I2C0_SetAddressNackCallback(I2C0_SetRestartWriteCallback,NULL); //NACK polling?
I2C0_MasterWrite();
while(I2C0_BUSY == I2C0_Close()); // sit here until finished.
/* This function returns 0 if OK */
status = 0;
return status;
}
This works when sending an array that is located in my main.c file.
e.g:
//buffer.h
const uint8_t Sensor_Firmware[] = {0x05,...,0x01};
//End buffer.h
.
//main.c
void main (void)
{
uint8_t I2C_address = 0x01;
uint8_t I2C_reg = 0x01;
uint32_t size = 16;
uint8_t temp_array[size];
for (int i = 0; i <size; i++)
{
temp_array[i] = Sensor_Firmware[i];
}
WrMulti(I2C_address, I2C_reg, &temp_array[0], size);
While(1)
{
;
}
}
//End main.c
It also work when passing an array from the .h file without the 'const' key word.
e.g:
//buffer.h
uint8_t Sensor_Firmware[] = {0x05,...,0x01};
//End buffer.h
.
//main.c
void main (void)
{
uint8_t I2C_address = 0x01;
uint8_t I2C_reg = 0x01;
uint32_t size = 16;
uint8_t temp_array[size];
WrMulti(I2C_address, I2C_reg, &Sensor_Firmware[0], size);
While(1)
{
;
}
}
//End main.c
It does not when I pass the 'Sensor_Firmwware[]' array (with the const key word) from the .h file to 'WrMulti'. It just ends up sending '0x00' for every byte that comes from 'Sensor_Firmware'.
Does anyone know why this is might be?
Kind regards
