Issues with I2C without interrupt

[agaelema 39]

Hi, 

I posted a question on e2e but I found interesting to ask here too.

I'm trying to port the Adafruit MCP4725 library to MSP430 using the Driverlib. I'm testing with launchpad EXP43FR2433 running at 1MHz and I would not want to use interruption to keep the code more portable.

The sequence to write some value on DAC is relatively simple.
- Set address -> send start -> send write cmd -> send upper byte -> send lower byte -> send stop.

Using the following code one byte of the value is lost.

    msp43x_I2C_setSlaveAddress(EUSCI_B0_BASE, _i2caddr);
    msp43x_I2C_masterSendStart(EUSCI_B0_BASE);
    msp43x_I2C_masterMultiByteNext(EUSCI_B0_BASE, controlBits);         // write cmd
    msp43x_I2C_masterMultiByteNext(EUSCI_B0_BASE, dataBits / 16);         // Upper data bits (D11.D10.D9.D8.D7.D6.D5.D4)
    msp43x_I2C_masterMultiByteNext(EUSCI_B0_BASE, (dataBits % 16) << 4);  // Lower data bits (D3.D2.D1.D0.x.x.x.x)
    msp43x_I2C_masterMultiByteStop(EUSCI_B0_BASE);

 

But if I insert some dummy code (__delay_cycles) the transmission starts to work.

#define I2C_Delay   5
    msp43x_I2C_setSlaveAddress(EUSCI_B0_BASE, _i2caddr);
    __delay_cycles(I2C_Delay);
    msp43x_I2C_masterSendStart(EUSCI_B0_BASE);
    __delay_cycles(I2C_Delay);
    msp43x_I2C_masterMultiByteNext(EUSCI_B0_BASE, controlBits);         // write cmd
    __delay_cycles(I2C_Delay);
    msp43x_I2C_masterMultiByteNext(EUSCI_B0_BASE, dataBits / 16);         // Upper data bits (D11.D10.D9.D8.D7.D6.D5.D4)
    __delay_cycles(I2C_Delay);
    msp43x_I2C_masterMultiByteNext(EUSCI_B0_BASE, (dataBits % 16) << 4);  // Lower data bits (D3.D2.D1.D0.x.x.x.x)
    __delay_cycles(I2C_Delay);
    msp43x_I2C_masterMultiByteStop(EUSCI_B0_BASE);
    __delay_cycles(I2C_Delay);

 

Someone knows what's happening?

It looks like the library is not checking if the transmission was correctly performed.

Thanks
