I2C timeout calculated wrong for MCU !esp32

empirephoenix opened this issue · 3 comments

The current timeout() for the i2c bus is calculated using

impl From<Duration> for APBTickType {
    fn from(duration: Duration) -> Self {
        APBTickType(
            ((duration.as_nanos() + APB_TICK_PERIOD_NS as u128 - 1) / APB_TICK_PERIOD_NS as u128)
                as ::core::ffi::c_int,
        )
    }
}

Basically the calculation for some newer chips is different and the valid values for the low level api are now
1-22 and the actual timeout is calculated as: 2^12 * SCLK_PERIOD
In contrast to the idf api documenation the actual one for the chip correctly explains this:

Chips using the newer formula seems to be at least:

If someone else could check that I'm understanding this documents corrrectly, I would like to do a pull request for this.
Possible changes I see
a) Calculate the nearest valid timeout number for the api and print? if the wished for timeout is not exactly representable
b) Add a enum containing the valid 22 timeouts and implement From for APBTickType ?
what approach would be prefered?

Also how would one do the case difference based on the current MCU, is there somewhere a similar part of code, I can take a look at? (coming from a c world, I only know #define magic for this, but this is obviously not the rust way)

I also did take a look at the arduino wrapper how they do this...

They just set it to the maximum possible timeout, so apart from waiting now >100ms instead of ~13 most probably will not have noticed

PR welcome!

This one except for the "print" part.

Also how would one do the case difference based on the current MCU, is there somewhere a similar part of code, I can take a look at? (coming from a c world, I only know #define magic for this, but this is obviously not the rust way)

#cfg(esp32c3)] with the all, not and any combinators. Besides the esp32c3 config bool, you have similar constants defined for each MCU.

@ivmarkov @empirephoenix can this be closed now?

we also had #438 merged. i hope that makes it work now. If you still think its wrong after that feel free to reopen this issue
