FlexComm4 I2C problem on LPC54616 (SDA and SCL cannot be routed)

[kennener]

Using MCUXpresso IDE 10.3.0 & LPC54616J512BD100.  It seems you cannot use I2C on FlexComm4 by routing I2C SDA to Pin 72 and I2C SCL to pin 91. The Config tools say the signals cannot be routed. The data sheet suggests there should be no issue. Does anyone know if this is a Config Tools issue, or an error in the datasheet? The issue occurs even when these are the ONLY two signals/pins being set up. Thanks.

Edited to add:  In fact NONE of the FlexComm4 functions can be assigned to these two pins - USART, SPI, or I2C.

Hi I am also having the similar issue for Flexcomm5 not able to assign PIN 0_7 and Pin 0_8 for I2C which has the following warning. Can help on this as well?

Hi Ken Nener ,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and for the opportunity to serve you.
According to RM, the Flexcomm interface 4 definitely support the I2C function, so I guess it should be the 'bug' in the Config Tool.
To confirm this assumption, I was wondering if you can share some screenshots about this issue, as it will let me have an intuitive knowledge of the issue.

Have a great day,
TIC

I have a very similar issue with the MCUXpresso Config Tools v6 while using the LPC54606 mcu. Here are my screenshots.

I'm using FLEXCOMM 3 in this case. The tools issues Warnings when I use "RXD_SDA_MOSI" and "TXD_SCK_MISO" pins for I2C.I have a similar warning with the SCL line on FLEXCOMM 8 as well.

However, if I change the SDA pin from "RXD_SDA_MOSI" to "CTS_SDA_SSEL0" instead, the warning goes away. But this is a terrible choice because the pins are further apart from each other.

From what I read in the manual, I should be able to pick any pin with "SDA" in the name for SDA and likewise for SCL. It didn't seem like they are in fixed pairs or something.

Is this just a bug with the MCUXpresso Config Tools v6, or is there an actual problem with this configuration? Thanks!
