I2C sample question

I wonder if any of you came across the same problem
I hooked up my LIS331DL to my board in I2C mode.
I am running the I2C sample CMSIS ( after changing the target address ).
SCL-SCL (pull-up), SDA-SDA (pull-up), SDO-GND, CS-GND
The I2CInit(comes back), but the I2CEngine hangs in waiting.
I checked and there is no INTR at all. Again, I'm using the i2c sample.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

It sounds like you solved your problem.

But for the benefit of others who might never be getting their I2C interrupt, Check how you left the state of your AA Flag.

If you cleared this flag (LPC_I2C->CONCLR = 1 << 2, or LPC_I2C->CONCLR = 4), then it will not receive a new command, and no interrupt.

Ok, my problem turned out to be a dumb mistake.  One part of the mistake I believe is that I did not clear the SI interrupt flag in one part of the interrupt handler (which happened to be the part that was being executed due to another dumb mistake), so the interrupt kept being called which put the chip into an endless loop.

So, maybe one thing to check if the chip seems to hang is to make sure the SI flag is cleared in all possible cases in the I2C interrupt handler.

I'm having a similar problem with a LPC1114 I believe.  I've stripped my code down to just initializing the I2C and trying to send some data.

I have a systick timer running and toggling a pin, and when I set LPC_I2C->CONSET = I2CONSET_STA to start transmission, the pin quits toggling which indicates to me that the systick timer quits.  The I2C interrupt does not get run either.  What can I look for to fix this?

I'm having a similar issue now, after I set the start bit, the interrupt never fires to say its ready. Oddly, it works for a few transfers, then stops working and hangs in I2C_Start on a LPC4300. 

Did you ever resolve your issue?

Sorry, my mistake, you are right. As a matter of fact, I have CS on VDD... There is no interrupt coming in after the initial START condition.

According to the datasheet You need to set CS to Vdd_IO not GND to put the LIS331DL in I2C mode!
