Implementing Repeated Start on an STM32 F0 I2C Slave

Question

I'm currently working on a driver on an STM32F0 that joins the I2C bus as a slave device. Currently there is no mention in the reference manual on how to handle a Repeated Start Condition, does anyone know how to?

I am currently handling the I2C request in the AddressCallback and am able to send/recieve all the data but when I try to detect a Repeated Start using the NACK flag (From RM: The bit is set by software, cleared by hardware when the NACK is sent, or when a STOP condition or an Address Matched is received, or when PE=0.), the ADDR flag is never set meaning the ISR is never called again.

Answer 1

I finally got a response from ST. There is no reference to Repeated Start Condition in the F0 documentation nor the F0 HAL examples but there is an example in the L4 firmware packge:

In L4 Firmware repository, look under STM32Cube_FW_L4_V1.8.0\Projects\STM32L496ZG- Nucleo\Examples\I2C\I2C_TwoBoards_RestartComIT

The example shows how to perform a single I2C data buffer TX/RX in Interrupt Mode and with a Repeated Start condition.

Answer 2

I encountered this issue, as you mentioned there is no support for repeated start condition from I2C HAL driver. If I try to use repeated start code gets stuck in HAL_I2C_Slave_Transmit and HAL_I2C_Slave_Receive functions. If anyone wants to overcome this issue, can try to let the firmware ignore below sections

if (I2C_WaitOnSTOPFlagUntilTimeout(hi2c, Timeout, tickstart) != HAL_OK)
{
 /* Disable Address Acknowledge */
 hi2c->Instance->CR2 |= I2C_CR2_NACK;
 return HAL_ERROR;
}
if (I2C_WaitOnFlagUntilTimeout(hi2c, I2C_FLAG_BUSY, SET, Timeout, tickstart) != HAL_OK)
{
 /* Disable Address Acknowledge */
 hi2c->Instance->CR2 |= I2C_CR2_NACK;
 return HAL_ERROR;
}
