Hi, all!

I use the following patch on my AT91SAM9260-based custom board to
configure bit-banged I2C:

But I'm unable to read proper values from lines - they always

Linux i2c-gpio driver works perfectly.

Thanks a lot,

Why don't you use the gpio function?

I sync it will be better to use the hardware stack which is not too
complicate to implement

Please try this patch:

http://www.nabble.com/-PATCH--soft_i2c%3A-Pull-SDA-high-before-reading-p17270563.html

You shouldn't need to do anything in the I2C_ACTIVE and I2C_TRISTATE
hooks since the PIO is properly configured in open drain mode.

Alas, I was unable to make bit-banged I2C to work
even with this patch applied. As I mentioned above, it works in
Linux, but I'd like to be able to set time to my RTC from u-boot.
I have checked that pins are configured properly from status registers
(pull-ups are enabled, multi-drive mode is enabled (open drain), etc.).
I could read only zeroes from SDA line in u-boot, and using
oscilloscope, I see data on line. I can't find differencies
in setup with i2c-gpio from Linux. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
S.

Well, I tried to use them but that lead to same result.

Why?

Thanks a lot for your help, but this did not work either.
iprobe returns full 0x0 - 0x7f range as devices.
Linux i2c-gpio works properly and returns proper set of devices (0x68,
0x50). Is it me or there's bug somewhere?
I can see output values with oscilloscope. I wonder what happens.

As commented in Linux kernel about i2c_at91, it is very buggy,
and I was afraid that it could not work for me at all. i2c-gpio works
in Linux. What prevents soft i2c from working ont the same CPU?
This stuff is a mystery for me :(

Hi
For anyone that such problem -
I already encountered such problem.
The problem is that to read input PIO pin, the PMC clock for that PIO port must be enabled at PMC_PCER .
Add (for PIOA):
    {
       at91_pmc_t *pmc = (at91_pmc_t *) ATMEL_BASE_PMC;

       //enable pmc pioa peripheral clock to be able read io pins !!!!
    writel(1 << ATMEL_ID_PIOA, &pmc->pcer);
      } 
This will solve the issue.

Yehuda
