Table 157.  alt_avalon_i2c_master_target_get
Prototype void alt_avalon_i2c_master_target_get (ALT_AVALON_I2C_DEV_t * i2c_dev, alt_u32 * target_addr)
Include <altera_avalon_i2c.h>
Parameters
  • i2c_dev - A pointer to the I2C controller device block instance.
  • target_addr - The 7 or 10 bit agent target address.
Returns -
Description This function returns the current target address.
Table 158.  alt_avalon_i2c_master_config_get
Prototype void alt_avalon_i2c_master_config_get (ALT_AVALON_I2C_DEV_t *i2c_dev, ALT_AVALON_I2C_MASTER_CONFIG_t* cfg)
Include <altera_avalon_i2c.h>
Parameters
  • i2c_dev - A pointer to the I2C controller device block instance.
  • cfg - Pointer to a ALT_AVALON_I2C_MASTER_CONFIG_t structure for holding the returned I2C host mode configuration parameters.
Returns -
Description Populates the host mode configuration structure (type ALT_AVALON_I2C_ADDR_MODE_t) from registers.
Table 159.  alt_avalon_i2c_master_config_speed_get
Prototype alt_avalon_i2c_master_config_speed_get (ALT_AVALON_I2C_DEV_t *i2c_dev, const ALT_AVALON_I2C_MASTER_CONFIG_t* cfg, alt_u32 * speed_in_hz)
Include <altera_avalon_i2c.h>
Parameters
  • i2c_dev - A pointer to the I2C controller device block instance.
  • cfg - Pointer to a ALT_AVALON_I2C_MASTER_CONFIG_t structure for holding the returned I2C host mode configuration parameters.
  • speed_in_hz - Speed (Hz) the I2C bus is currently configured at based on the cfg structure (not necessarily on the hardware settings). To get the hardware speed first populate the cfg structure with the alt_avalon_i2c_master_config_get() function.
Returns ALT_AVALON_I2C_SUCCESS - Indicates successful status. Otherwise, one of the ALT_AVALON_I2C_* status codes is returned. All failing return values are < 0.
Description This utility function returns the speed in hertz (Hz) based on the contents of the passed in configuration structure.
Table 160.  alt_avalon_i2c_int_status_get
Prototype void alt_avalon_i2c_int_status_get (ALT_AVALON_I2C_DEV_t *i2c_dev, alt_u32 *status)
Include <altera_avalon_i2c.h>
Parameters
  • i2c_dev - A pointer to the I2C controller device block instance.
  • status - A pointer to a bit mask of the active \ref ALT_AVALON_I2C_STATUS_t interrupt and status conditions.
Returns -
Description This function returns the current value of the I2C controller interrupt status register value which reflects the current I2C controller status conditions that are not disabled (or masked).
Table 161.  alt_avalon_i2c_int_raw_status_get
Prototype void alt_avalon_i2c_int_raw_status_get (ALT_AVALON_I2C_DEV_t *i2c_dev, alt_u32 *status)
Include <altera_avalon_i2c.h>
Parameters
  • i2c_dev - A pointer to the I2C controller device block instance.
  • status - A pointer to a bit mask of the active \ref ALT_AVALON_I2C_STATUS_t interrupt and status conditions.
Returns -
Description

This function returns the current value of the I2C controller raw interrupt status register value which reflects the current I2C controller status conditions regardless of whether they are disabled/masked or not.
