Readin and writing to FRAM on the I2C Bus ?

Started by swetha_34 September 10, 2005
hi !!!

I am having problem with reading and writing data to FRAM using the I2C 
bus. I am using FM24CL16 connected to MSP430F1610. I have tried using 
the sample application code of EEPROM+I2C on the same ( i changed the 
address of FRAM) , but im unable to read and write. The problem is that 
I2CDRB register doesnt get updated with the new value.

Can someone please tell me how to go about ? 

Thanks in advance for any help

Regards
Swetha

hi,
did you wached the line of the i2c bus (a scope or logic analyzer)
if you do not have such equipment use a software i2c master (easier to debug)
and 2 multimeters, one for each line. run stepping through the code and see if
there is a problem.
if it is working then you have a speed related problem or a flow in the code
when using the hardware on the chip. to check if there is a speed related
problem use a scope or try running the i2c at low speeds.
