no device npm1300_ek (one button sample) with nRF52 DK on I2C Bus

I try to get the one button sample to work. There were several details missing to be able to compile and run this sample, which was very frustrating. After editing/updating the

prj.conf: CONFIG_I2C=y

CMakeLists.txt: set(SHIELD npm1300_ek)

nrf52dk_nrf52832.overlay:

 #include <zephyr/dt-bindings/pinctrl/nrf-pinctrl.h>

 &i2c1 {
 status = "okay";
 pinctrl-0 = <&i2c1_default>;
 pinctrl-1 = <&i2c1_sleep>;
 pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
 clock-frequency = <I2C_BITRATE_STANDARD>; 
 //clock-frequency = <10000>;
 };
 
 &i2c1_default {
 group1 {
 psels = <NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SDA, 0, 26)>,
 <NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SCL, 0, 27)>;
 bias-pull-up;
 };
};

&i2c1_sleep {
 group1 {
 psels = <NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SDA, 0, 26)>,
 <NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SCL, 0, 27)>;
 low-power-enable;
 };
};

		};

with claudes assistance/support i got it to compile and run. But an i2c scan i2c0 shows no device at all.

What minimal required steps/configuration have to setup to get I2C enabled and detect devices on the bus should be?

Trying with the nrf-connect (Ubuntu) Linux-Desktop app (2x USB -C, 1x LiPo Battery) i get NPM detected, the LiPo Battery to and can change parameters for ex. the LED's live, so the BOARD is working.

Any support/hint/help is appreciated.

  • Hi,

     

    You should not need to alter anything when compiling the example:

    https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-3.3.0/page/nrf/samples/pmic/native/npm13xx_one_button/README.html

     

    Please note that the "npm1300_ek" shield uses i2c0 on the nrf52dk, and not i2c1.

    Same goes for the zephyr sample:

    https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-3.3.0/page/zephyr/samples/shields/npm13xx_ek/index.html#npm13xx_ek

    Here you need to set the shield parameter (as you do in CMakeLists.txt):

    https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-3.3.0/page/zephyr/samples/shields/npm13xx_ek/index.html#building_and_running

     

    Kind regards,

    Håkon

  • Hi,

    editing an example was my fault. But Using I2c0 is no difference. Tried with the original sample npm1300.overlay.

    I additonally enabled the shell in the prj.conf:

    CONFIG_PRINTK=y
    CONFIG_LOG_CMDS=y
    CONFIG_I2C_LOG_LEVEL_DBG=y
    CONFIG_SHELL=y
    CONFIG_LOG=y
    CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=y
    CONFIG_EARLY_CONSOLE=y
    CONFIG_I2C_SHELL=y

    The result of >device list< is:

    uart:~$ device list
    devices:
    - clock@40000000 (READY)
      DT node labels: clock
    - gpio@50000000 (READY)
      DT node labels: gpio0
    - uart@40002000 (READY)
      DT node labels: uart0 arduino_serial
    - i2c@40003000 (READY)
      DT node labels: i2c0 arduino_i2c
    - pwm@4001c000 (READY)
      DT node labels: pwm0
    - pmic@6b (DISABLED)
      DT node labels: npm1300_ek_pmic
    - gpio-controller (DISABLED)
      DT node labels: npm1300_ek_gpio
    - regulators (READY)
      DT node labels: npm1300_ek_regulators
    - LDO2 (DISABLED)
      DT node labels: npm1300_ek_ldo2
    - LDO1 (DISABLED)
      DT node labels: npm1300_ek_ldo1
    - BUCK2 (DISABLED)
      DT node labels: npm1300_ek_buck2
    - BUCK1 (DISABLED)
      DT node labels: npm1300_ek_buck1
    - leds (READY)
    - leds (DISABLED)
      DT node labels: npm1300_ek_leds
    - pwmleds (READY)
    - temp@4000c000 (READY)
      DT node labels: temp
    - charger (DISABLED)
      DT node labels: npm1300_ek_charger

    So pmic@6b is disabled despite in the npm1300.overlay:

    &npm1300_ek_pmic {
    host-int-gpios = <&gpio0 22 0>;
    pmic-int-pin = <3>;
    };
    What am i missing?

  • Hi,

    the lower Version(s) of nRF Connect and Zeohyr shouldn't be an issue?

  • Hi,

     

    nRF52_DK_usr said:

    USB-C is connected to "USB PMIC" and the Battery to /P1-header,

    VBATIN & VBAT are connected via Jumper.

    On the nrf52 DK i use VDD (between RESET and 5V) on P1 header connected to VDDIO ot the TWI npm1300_EK header.

    (P2) NTC & 10k are connected via jumper.

    SDA -> P0.26

    SCL->P0.27

    Compiling the mentioned example, after manually adding set(SHIELD npm1300_ek) in CMakeLists.txt) results in the folllowing output:

    This is the same setup as I have.

    What about P18? Is there a jumper present on this header?

    This one should not be present if the voltages differs between the NPM EK and nRF DK.

     

    Could you share a picture of how the jumpers are setup on your NPM1300-EK?

     

    Kind regards,

    Håkon

     

  • On P18 is no jumper. See my jumper configuration picture attached.

  • HI, what about the SHIELD detect pins on the nRF52 DK using the I/O expander for boards that follow arduino standard, see from the nRF52 DK userguide v3.x.x?

    "The I/O expander releases these GPIOs for general use when the nRF52 DK is used together with boards
    that follow the Arduino standard. The I/O expander can be permanently enabled by shorting solder bridge
    SB18, or permanently disabled by cutting the shorting track on SB19. You must also short SB18 when
    cutting SB19 for full compatibility with the Arduino standard.
    The I/O expander can be temporarily enabled by connecting SHIELD DETECT to ground."
