## Operation
The I2C resource in slave mode accepts command packets to control the intensity of an LED. The I2C slave updates its read buffer with a status packet in response to the accepted command.
In this example, a host PC running the Bridge Control Panel (BCP) software is used as the I2C master. LED control is implemented using a TCPWM resource (configured as PWM). The intensity of the LED is controlled by changing the duty cycle of the PWM signal.
1. Connect the board to your PC using the provided USB cable through the USB connector.
2. Program the board using one of the following:
<details><summary><b>Using Eclipse IDE</b></summary>
1. Select the application project in the Project Explorer.
2. In the **Quick Panel**, scroll down, and click **\<Application Name> Program (KitProg3_MiniProg4)**.
</details>
<details><summary><b>In other IDEs</b></summary>
Follow the instructions in your preferred IDE.
</details>
<details><summary><b>Using CLI</b></summary>
From the terminal, execute the `make program` command to build and program the application using the default toolchain to the default target. The default toolchain is specified in the application's Makefile but you can override this value manually:
```
make program TOOLCHAIN=<toolchain>
```
Example:
```
make program TOOLCHAIN=GCC_ARM
```
</details>
3. Configure the BCP software as described in [Software setup](#software-setup).
4. In the **Editor** tab of BCP, type the command to send the LED intensity data, and then click **Send**. Observe that the LED turns ON with the specified intensity.
The command format that is used to write the data to the slave if BCP is used as the I2C master is shown as follows. The symbol ‘SoP’ means ‘start of packet’ and ‘EoP’ means ‘end of packet’.
Start for write | Slave address | SoP | LED TCPWM compare value | EoP | Stop
---------------|---------------|------|-------------------------|------|-----
w | 0x08 | 0x01 | 0x00 to 0xFF | 0x17 | p
<br>
For example, sending the command `w 08 01 FF 17 p` will turn the LED ON with full intensity; sending the command `w 08 01 00 17 p` will turn the LED OFF.
5. Type the command `r 08 x x x p` to read the status of the write performed.
The following is the command format to read the status form the slave’s read buffer. The symbol ‘x’ denotes one byte to read from the slave’s read buffer. In this example, three bytes are read from the slave.
Start for read | Slave address | SoP | LED TCPWM compare value | EoP | Stop
----------------|---------------|-----|-------------------------|-----|------
r | 0x08 | x | x | x | p
<br>
After each command is sent, the status packet must be read from the read buffer of the slave by sending the `r 08 x x x p` command. If the packet read is in the format `r 08 01 00 17 p`, the status is set as 'success'; if the packet read is `r 08 01 FF 17 p`, the status is set as 'fail' for the command sent by the I2C master. See Figure 1 for more information.
## Debugging
You can debug the example to step through the code.

## Design and implementation
This example demonstrates the operation of an I2C resource for PSoC&trade; 4 in the slave mode using callbacks. The I2C slave is configured with a 3-byte write buffer, which can be accessed by the I2C master to write commands. In addition, a 3-byte read buffer is configured to read the status of the slave by the master. The BCP software is used as the I2C master.
The first byte in the write buffer contains the start of packet (SoP) value, the next byte contains the LED’s TCPWM compare value, and the third byte is the end of packet (EoP) value. The slave updates the master’s read buffer with the status packet. The first byte of the status packet is SoP, the second byte contains the status where the value 0x00 means success and 0xFF means failure for the command data sent by the master, and the third byte in the read buffer is EoP.
To control the intensity of the LED, a PWM with a period value of 255 microseconds is used. The duty cycle of the PWM is controlled in firmware and is specified by the I2C master.
In the callback method, data write and read complete events from the master are handled through interrupts. I2C peripheral driver library (PDL) APIs are used to configure the resource to act as an I2C slave, and to configure its relevant interrupts to handle data write and read complete events by the master.
