SC18IS602B Access Issue

[Harsh26]

Hello,

We have a Realtek-based PCB whose i2c access follows a general command set. We want to attach an SPI device using SC18IS602B as a bridge. I want to access the bridge to display information, such as the vendor product code or any other verification that confirms my device can connect to the bridge. The command set for my board follows this syntax:- i2c set <bus> <dev> <reg> <data>; i2c get <bus> <dev> <reg>. I read the manual of SC18IS602B, but it does not show any memory that I can read. Furthermore, I am unsure what to write in the 'reg' field of my I2C command. The hardware team told us that the A2A1A0 pins are set to 0, which, I think means the dev address is 0x28. Please help me read any information from the SC18IS602B device.

Hello,

If A2, A1 and A0 pins are all set to 0, the 7-bit slave address is indeed 0x28 resulting in complete address byte of 0x50 for a write and 0x51 for a read.

As for the I2C message/data format, please refer to the datasheet, chapters 7.1.1 and 7.1.2.

There is also a more detailed description/example in chapter 8.

BRs, Tomas

Hi @TomasVaverka 

Thanks for the reply.

I see that part of the manual. However, I am unable to use it for my specific use case.  The following log is what I have tried on board. 

RTK.0> i2c set write-buffer pos 0 data 5100010203 // My PCB's buffer  0x51, 0x01, 02, 03, 04> I am trying to read 4 Bytes of data from the buffer.

Hi @TomasVaverka 

Could you please help with this matter? I've been stuck on it for almost a week.
