    Enumeration Type Documentation

    Description:

    Enumerates flags used for transferring I2C messages.

    Multiple flags can be used to jointly control a single I2C message transfer. If a bit is set to 1, the corresponding feature is enabled. If a bit is set to 0, the corresponding feature is disabled.

    I2cClose()

    Description:

    Releases the handle of an I2C controller.

    If you no longer need to access the I2C controller, you should call this function to close its handle so as to release unused memory resources.

    Name

    Description
    handle Indicates the pointer to the device handle of the I2C controller.

    I2cOpen()

    Description:

    Obtains the handle of an I2C controller.

    You must call this function before accessing the I2C bus.

    Parameters:

    Returns:

    Returns the pointer to the of the I2C controller if the operation is successful; returns NULL otherwise.

    Description:

    Launches a custom transfer to an I2C device.

    Parameters:

    Name

    Description
    handle Indicates the pointer to the device handle of the I2C controller obtained via .
    msgs Indicates the pointer to the I2C transfer message structure array.
    count Indicates the length of the message structure array.

    Returns:

    Returns the number of transferred message structures if the operation is successful; returns a negative value otherwise.

    This function does not limit the number of message structures specified by count or the data length of each message structure. The specific I2C controller determines the maximum number and data length allowed.
