i2c randombly fails

[jesseb]

I've had issues with i2c intermittently ever since I started using the i2c driver provided. I follow the i2c example very closely. It seems that the issues happen during transmit.

In the code, I get 1 of 3 types of errors. After the error the i2c will not recover until reset.

• timeout error (263) returned from i2c_master_cmd_begin,
• a general error (-1) is returned from i2c_master_cmd_begin
• I get an assert on line 600 of xRingbufferReceiveUpToFromISR, only called by i2c driver in my code

.
Here's my code:

With logic analyzer output, i2c commands run fine but then 1 of 2 problems occur:

• a write continues indefinitely, writing 0xFF or a random byte. (the images below are of the same i2c write)

  Capture2.PNG (6.32 KiB) Viewed 25992 times

• esp32 starts a write with a bogus address and gets NAK. This continues indefinitely until reset. Also, the address passed into myI2c write is always correct.

So I've come back to this after leaving it for some time.

I have written my own driver that is eerily similar to the arduino low level i2c driver.

It seems that the i2c peripheral itself has some issues:

• The done bit on an end command never gets set even though the end_detect interrupt fired.
• A read or write cannot directly follow an end command. Rather, one must send a start command after each end command. If one does not do this the bus is seen as busy when one tries to execute commands again. The technical reference manual states differently. If one tries to do a read or write directly after the end command the driver will timeout and the bus busy bit of the i2c status register is set.
• The peripheral will send or receive continuously until the driver times out - so far no one knows how to reset the peripheral without resetting the chip.

Note: these problems happen when one uses the i2c fifo or not.

Here is the i2c driver I wrote (based on arduino esp32 i2c driver). One can run in fifo mode or nonfifo mode based on value of NON_FIFO_ENABLE.

My i2c errors only seem to occur while mbedtls is configuring/connecting. I did lots of checking to see if memory related to my i2c was getting corrupted but couldn't seem to find any corruptions or leaks. I also checked i2c peripheral registers. All the registers had the expected values but the i2c ram may have been corrupted (I'm not sure on that because I only checked this in fifo mode so far).

Here's my code for tls start and stop.

I've checked the i2c signals with a scope and the lines have stable transitions.

Do you think it is related to eco 3.10? Do you have latest SDK that disables hw crypto? Have you tried single core mode?

[jesseb]

It may be related to the chip version. It is a revision 0 chip. I haven't looked into what went wrong with that chip revision. Do I need a new chip?

No I'm on commit ff6a3b1a11032798565d7b78319444aa81881542. I'll try updating to the latest.

I previously ran in single core mode but I couldn't get the performance I wanted with gpio interrupts.

I have the same problem. Here is my post. The reset seems to be the only fix. Your driver looks nice.

Anyone from Espressif have a fix that can be integrated into the IDF? I'm resetting when I detect the issue, but that's kind of a bad solution.

[jesseb]

I got it working. Sorry to everyone for not posting when I did. WiFive pointed me in the right direction. I had wifi using flash storage by calling esp_wifi_set_storage with WIFI_STORAGE_FLASH as the parameter. Changing that to use WIFI_STORAGE_RAM seemed to fix the issues. I also disabled hardware acceleration for tls encryption as well, just to be safe. After those simple changes I haven't had any issues with the i2c. I tested the new code on both rev 0 and 1 of the hardware though I haven't tested the previous code on rev 1 hardware to see if there were issues there as well.

[WiFive]

So the other three issues you mention are still unresolved, your driver just works around them?

[jesseb]

My driver has remained the same. I have also run it using espressif's driver and it works fine with that too. It seemed that the issues above were caused by some bug with wifi, tls or in the hardware dealing with wifi accessing the flash and tls using hardware acceleration for encryption. It is possible that this issue could still come up but so far, I haven't seen it again. Before I could cause i2c errors easily with connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting my tls socket. I changed the wifi storage type and turned off tls hardware encryption acceleration to get it working. So there is still an underlying problem somewhere but right now I'm avoiding it with these changes.

[WiFive]

So these two still true?

• The done bit on an end command never gets set
• A read or write cannot directly follow an end command.
