I've been trying to manually configure ESP32S3 registers on my custom PCB in order to set-up an I2C communication. The purpose is to get hands-on experience in writing device drivers and working with register fields/addresses.
I'm using ESP-IDF v5.1 with VS code.
In esp32-s3 Technical Reference Manual, this can be done by working inside I2C_CTR_REG register.
I selected I2C0 register whose base address is 0x60013000.
I've encountered two issues while trying to achieve this.
1st (Bonus) - The IO_MUX_n_REGISTER reset state is different from what is written in the TRM.
- IO_MUX_n_REG

Since I can write into this register, I will just clear the unwanted bits before setting the register field to my desired value. Still, if someone as any idea why there is a difference when I only am reading the register.
2nd - I can't write into I2C_CTR_REG.
As far as I understand it, the register can be accessed for reading and writing. However, the field value doesn't change. The field seems "locked". Is there an additional step to perform before trying to configure this register?

Code: Select all
int set_I2C_in_master_mode()
{
volatile uint32_t *address_of_I2C_control_register = (volatile uint32_t *) (I2C_CTR_REG);
printf("I2C Control Reg content before setting bits: 0x%08lX\n", *address_of_I2C_control_register);
*address_of_I2C_control_register = (*address_of_I2C_control_register) | (1 << I2C_MS_MODE_FIELD);
printf("I2C Control Reg content after setting bits: 0x%08lX\n", *address_of_I2C_control_register);
return(0);
}
int app_main()
{
set_I2C_in_master_mode();
return(0);
}
