TWI Error 33281

I have a nRF52832 DK unit which I have developed against to get a HDC1080 reporting the temperature - everything works fine in the development setup.

I have recently had some devices manufactured using a nRF52810 and the device is giving an error 33281. I have read from previous posts that this is the slave nacking - which suggests that nothing can be found attached.

I stripped it back to basics and used the twi_scanner and it also reports no devices attached. I have tried with various `TWIS_DEFAULT_CONFIG_SCL_PULL`/`TWIS_DEFAULT_CONFIG_SDA_PULL`/`NRFX_TWIS_DEFAULT_CONFIG_SCL_PULL`/`NRFX_TWIS_DEFAULT_CONFIG_SDA_PULL` settings and nothing gets it working.

Relevant config:

  • TWI_INSTANCE_ID 0
  • TWI_ENABLED 1
  • TWI0_ENABLED 1
  • TWI0_USE_EASY_DMA 1

And the main file (which is basically the example mentioned above):

I have attached an image of the schematics, in case there's anything wrong there.

Is there anything else I may be missing between the dev kit and a prototype configuration wise?

Details:

Using latest SES and latest available Nordic SDK (nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560).
