[En-Nut-Discussion] TwMasterTransact is blocked

[CAMBON, Olivier]

The call to TwMasterTransact never returns (with or without timeout in
parameter).
But the CPU is still alive. All the other threads with higher or lower
priorities are alive.

I did not checked the electrical lines with a scope.
But I can see that all the slaves are alive.

Maybe there were some errors during the transaction.
But I think the call should go in timeout in this case.

Regards,
Olivier.

What do you mean with blocked? Does it mean the call to TwMasterTransact
never returns even when given a timeout? That should never happen. Are
you
sure your hardware works flawless?  Maybe your transaction on the I2C
bus
has some unexpected side effect, disturbing the CPU. Did you check with
a
scope/logoc analyzer that your transaction does take place and is
terminated
properly?

Much to check ...
