Hi Bryan,
The FlexIO only emulates I2C, it not a dedicated module for I2C like the LPI2C.
AN5133 Emulating I2C Bus Master by using FlexIO
https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN5133.pdf
"However, there are also some limitations when using FlexIO to emulate I2C bus master. For example,
the I2C features such as multi-master/arbitration, handshaking, and clock stretching are not supported.
Also, it is difficult to emulate I2C bus slave using FlexIO."
Also, refer to this thread:
How does S32K146 realize FLEXIO to simulate I2C SLAVE mode.
