API Function

etSTS o24xx256_BYTE_WRITE( etCMP cmp, uint16 mem_adr, uint8 val )

The o24xx256_BYTE_WRITE function is an API function that writes the value of val to the specified address mem_adr for the 24xx256 series (24AA256, 24LC256, 24FC256). This function returns the return value eSTS_EXE until the time to complete the write (i24xx256_WRITE_TIME [ms]) has elapsed.

NOTE :
The i24xx256_WRITE_TIME [ms] elapsed measurement is calculated from the Thread period that calls this function, so set the Thread period to THREAD_OSS_ECAL_PERIOD [ms].
Please use the o24xx256_WP_DIS function to release write-protection before using this function.

Built-in How to

Please refer to the following to incorporate API functions into your user program.

Pin A2 should be set with the following code in user_setting.h.

// Device address Code bit2:A2 bit1:A1 bit0:A0
#define M24xx256_1              0b00000000

For Infineon ModusToolbox HAL, set the I2C Timeout setting with the following code in user_setting.h. For details, see cyhal_i2c_master_write(), cyhal_i2c_master_read() Parameters timeout.

#define I2C_TIMEOUT             10U     // Timeout[ms]

For STM32Cube FW_F4 HAL, I2C Timeout time is 25ms.

Note :
For the following command API functions, the Timeout time varies depending on the Read/Write data length len.

CAUTION

The sample version of OSS-ECAL is not intended to be used with Threads (Tasks) or interrupts of different priority. Please do not use it as in the example below.

Example: If each sensor is assigned to the same ADC group and the OSS-ECAL API is executed in processes with different priorities, correct values may not be obtained.
ADC Gr0 Ch0　Temperature sensor AD22100A　100ms cycle Thread (low priority) to take in temperature
ADC Gr0 Ch1　Pressure sensor　　 MPX5999D　Event interrupts (high priority) to take pressure
