HI,

how can I the recovery I2C bus is blocked.  , SDA line low state?

Thanks

Hi 

The nRF52832 is the master, and I have accelerometer, touch and heart rate sensor on the same bus.

I don't know why it hangs but the sda line stays down and I get communication error, red message from the system.

I think it is one of the three sensors that is waiting for the clock.

How do I get a series of pulses out on the SCL line when this happens? Thanks

If you look at the implementation of nrf_drv_twi_init() you can find there is a:

    if(p_config->clear_bus_init)
    {
        /* Send clocks (max 9) until slave device back from stuck mode */
        twi_clear_bus(p_config);
    }

So I recommend to try to uninit, then init with the clear_bus_init flag set to true.

Hi Kenneth,

in which file do I find nrf_drv_twi_init () do you have an example of how to use the uninit and init?

I have recently used this micro and ncs.

Thank you

I was not aware you were using ncs, in that case this discussion may be helpful to find a workaround (different chip, but same problem):

Hi,

Is there an alternative to ncs tools as a development environment?

How close opened i2c device? in ncs zephyr?

Thanks
