Hello Sir,
we are using Imx8 mini evk board , on this board we are trying to test application code of I2C which is implemented on M4 core and we loaded M4 core application code I2C by booting with A53 and M4 core.
based on this we are testing application code of I2C, we are not able to see any thing.
where do we need to check
Please suggest for this
Hi Anil
for i2c testing one can use M4 SDK_EVK MIMX8MM i2c examples (folder ..driver_examples/i2c)
available on https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/welcome
Use oscilloscope for checking i2c signals and jtag debugger (if necessary) IAR tool patch for i.MX 8M Mini
Best regards

Hello Sir,
as per your suggestion we have checked I2C3 signal on oscilloscope , but we are not getting any signal on the I2C3 pins of the board imx8m mini evk.
Here we are implemented I2C application software on M4 core using I2C example code in SDK(I2C example ,master, polling Method)
This I2C3 application software on M4 core is working on android OS
but in case of linux OS we are facing issue , M4 core application software stops working when we boot A53 with linux
also we tried by disabling all I2C in device tree file i.e (.dtsi file) still facing same issue
I have attached
1.dtsi file
2. I2C application software i2c_polling_b2b_transfer_master.c
we are not able to identify issue
Please suggest
may be recommended to try imx8mm-evk-rpmsg.dts
pay attention to comment:
* ATTENTION: M4 may use IPs like below
* ECSPI0/ECSPI2, GPIO1/GPIO5, GPT1, I2C3, I2S3, WDOG1, UART4, PWM3, SDMA1

Thanks for reply,
we have checked as you suggested but facing same issue.
we have used below procedure for your method.
Here we have used linux version is 5.10.35 and imx8m mini evk board
1.we have disabled I2C3 in imx8mm-evk-rpmsg.dts file and complied
2. copied imx8mm-evk.dtb file into the boot partition
3. then M4 core booted and then A53 core booted with linux after this stage I2C peripheral under M4 core stops working
we have noticed that under the memory map A53 and M4 shares same memory for I2c and some other peripheral. And the APIS3 memory region is mention under the DTS driver code under linux. May be this is the reason for the issue.
Would like to if there any solution to over come this and give privilage to I2c under M4
also we have tried another method i.e with linux 5.10.35 prebuild demo image, for this also used same above procedure but still facing same issue "M4 core stops working after booting A53 core with linux version 5.10.35"
we stuck here Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.
