Hello @nyc
I tested the same by my side but I had not issues. I connected two i.MX93, one as Master and one as Slave.
I could not replicate your issue.
Is there any step I am missing to replicate your issue?
I am aligned with the same environment and same example:
/SDK_25_09_00_MCIMX93-EVK/boards/mcimx93evk/driver_examples/lpi2c/interrupt_b2b_transfer/master$
Bet regards,
Salas.
