KL27 can write but cannot read I2C

[engineer]

Summary: I recently began firmware programming and am working on a new design that uses the KL27 Kinetis MCU. There are two other chips on this board that the MCU needs to communicate with via I2C: one is located at 0x80 and the other at 0x30.

The Problem: Whenever we write to the address 0x80 or 0x30, our oscilloscope reads everything perfectly, and this is proven by our design working. But only when we use I2C_WriteRegister. I2C_ReadRegister however has NACK (No Acknowledge) around the data that is supposed to be returned. I've been trying to solve this for the past week and cannot find this issue anywhere with the KL27.

Hi Max,

I would recommend customer to check the similar issue from below link:

I2C write register stuck at i2c_Wait() K60N512

And customer could find FRDM-KL26Z board demo (hal_dev_mma8451_read_reg function at <hal_dev_mma8451.c>), which also provides KL26 read MMA8451 sensor value via I2C.

Wish it helps.

Have a great day,
Ma Hui
