Hello,
I hope all is great with you. Thank you for using the NXP communities.
Please review the image below. You may review the writing and reading procedure.

Lets assume that you want to write to the Interrupt Enable Register (IER), which its is address is 0x01.
Based on the image above, the first bit to send should be 0 (writing). After that, the four bits of the register address, 0001 and finally the channel, 00.
Therefore, the sequence to write 0xFF to the IER register should be as follow:
< 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 > < 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 >
Using the same logic, the reading procedure should be as follow:
< 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 > < d a t a>
Could you please share your results?
I hope this information helps.
Regards,
David
