AT24C512 + BMI160 + NRF52

[Sunil vignesh]

Hi,

I am using nRF52832 soc to develop my project. with nRF5_SDK_15.3 . SES file

I need to connect both BMI160 accelerometer sensor and AT24C512 EEPROM ic in TWI.

how to use TWI with this. guide me to use both at a time.

BMI160 separately i can read the data.

but i can't read while connect to AT24C512

if i give same sda and scl pin to eeprom and bmi. it gives fatal error

If you're going to use two separate TWI Masters, then they need to be separate - they cannot share the same pins!

Again, this is clearly stated in the Product Specification:

"Only one peripheral can be assigned to drive a particular GPIO pin at a time. Failing to do so may result in unpredictable behavior."

As the device has EasyDMA present, you want to enable this:

TWI0_USE_EASY_DMA 1

I'm sorry, I am not able to see what is wrong from your code. Can you please debug the code and give me the error message you receive with the fatal error?

Kind regards,
Øyvind

when i changed the different scl sda pins separate then it works

but my case i need to connect both eeprom and sensor in a same pins

That has already been explained to you: you cannot have two different TWI Masters sharing the same pins!

Then you must use just one TWI Master - as Øyvind showed you in the diagram he posted earlier:
