i2c_master_cmd_begin() returns ESP_FAIL

[adi_1234]

Hello,
i am trying to read time from the rtc - PCF85263ATT, so i start with writing the write-slave-address (0xA2) and the register to start reading from (seconds register 0x1) and i get NACK (as it shows on the oscilloscope). This NACK causes the failure of i2c_master_cmd_begin() with ESP_FAIL error.
scl pin is set to 18, sda is pin 19, i2c_port is I2C_NUM_0.

The second call to i2c_master_cmd_begin() returns ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT.
here is the datasheet of the rtc: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/PCF85263A.pdf

What am i doing wrong?
i really wish to figure out why the rtc won't ack and why do i get ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT on the second call to i2c_master_cmd_begin().

Thank You,
Adi

Hi,
I have seen your code, maybe in line 41, the third parameter in the i2c_master_write_byte as ACK_CHECK_EN. If you are disabling the acknowledge check condition if the slave sends the NACK master will not check the condition and it will not enable the I2C_NACK_INTR maybe that is the cause to get the failure.
