# XMC™ MCU: I2C master and slave
This code example demonstrates the implementation of an I2C master and an I2C slave using the Universal Serial Interface Channel (USIC) module available in XMC™ MCUs. It configures one USIC module as the I2C master and another as the I2C slave on the same XMC™ MCU using the Device Configurator. The I2C master module sends commands to the I2C slave module to toggle the LEDs present on the XMC™ development kit.
You must make the connection between the I2C master and the I2C slave externally.

## Hardware setup
Prepare your board for the example by interconnecting the SDA master to the SDA slave and the SCL master to the SCL slave. You need a 4.7-kohm pull-up to VDD for each.

KIT_XMC48_RELAX_ECAT_V1 | 6.2 | 3.13 | 5.2 | 5.0 |
## Software setup
This example requires no additional software or tools.
## Using the code example
Create the project and open it using one of the following:
<details open><summary><b>In Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software</b></summary>
1. Click the **New Application** link in the **Quick Panel** (or, use **File** > **New** > **ModusToolbox&trade; Application**). This launches the [Project Creator](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxProjectCreator) tool.
2. Pick a kit supported by the code example from the list shown in the **Project Creator - Choose Board Support Package (BSP)** dialog.
When you select a supported kit, the example is reconfigured automatically to work with the kit. To work with a different supported kit later, use the [Library Manager](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxLibraryManager) to choose the BSP for the supported kit. You can use the Library Manager to select or update the BSP and firmware libraries used in this application. To access the Library Manager, click the link from the **Quick Panel**.
You can also just start the application creation process again and select a different kit.
If you want to use the application for a kit not listed here, you may need to update the source files. If the kit does not have the required resources, the application may not work.
3. In the **Project Creator - Select Application** dialog, choose the example by enabling the checkbox.
4. (Optional) Change the suggested **New Application Name**.
5. The **Application(s) Root Path** defaults to the Eclipse workspace which is usually the desired location for the application. If you want to store the application in a different location, you can change the *Application(s) Root Path* value. Applications that share libraries should be in the same root path.
6. Click **Create** to complete the application creation process.
For more details, see the [Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide](https://www.infineon.com/MTBEclipseIDEUserGuide) (locally available at *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/ide_{version}/docs/mtb_ide_user_guide.pdf*).
</details>
<details open><summary><b>In command-line interface (CLI)</b></summary>
ModusToolbox&trade; software provides the Project Creator as both a GUI tool and the command line tool, "project-creator-cli". The CLI tool can be used to create applications from a CLI terminal or from within batch files or shell scripts. This tool is available in the *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/tools_{version}/project-creator/* directory.
Use a CLI terminal to invoke the "project-creator-cli" tool. On Windows, use the command line "modus-shell" program provided in the ModusToolbox&trade; software installation instead of a standard Windows command-line application. This shell provides access to all ModusToolbox&trade; software tools. You can access it by typing `modus-shell` in the search box in the Windows menu. In Linux and macOS, you can use any terminal application.
This tool has the following arguments:
Argument | Description | Required/optional
---------|-------------|-----------
`--board-id` | Defined in the `<id>` field of the [BSP](https://github.com/Infineon?q=bsp-manifest&type=&language=&sort=) manifest | Required
`--app-id` | Defined in the `<id>` field of the [CE](https://github.com/Infineon?q=ce-manifest&type=&language=&sort=) manifest | Required
`--target-dir`| Specify the directory in which the application is to be created if you prefer not to use the default current working directory | Optional
`--user-app-name`| Specify the name of the application if you prefer to have a name other than the example's default name | Optional
<br>
The following example will clone the "[I2C master and slave](https://github.com/Infineon/mtb-example-xmc-i2c-master-slave)" application with the desired name "I2cMasterSlave" configured for the *KIT_XMC14_BOOT_001* BSP into the specified working directory, *C:/mtb_projects*:
```
project-creator-cli --board-id KIT_XMC14_BOOT_001 --app-id mtb-example-xmc-i2c-master-slave --user-app-name I2cMasterSlave --target-dir "C:/mtb_projects"
```
**Note:** The project-creator-cli tool uses the `git clone` and `make getlibs` commands to fetch the repository and import the required libraries. For details, see the "Project creator tools" section of the [ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxUserGuide) (locally available at *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/docs_{version}/mtb_user_guide.pdf*).
</details>
<details open><summary><b>In third-party IDEs</b></summary>
**Note:** Only VS Code is supported.
1. Follow the instructions from the **In command-line interface (CLI)** section to create the application, and import the libraries using the `make getlibs` command.
2. Export the application to a supported IDE using the `make <ide>` command.
For a list of supported IDEs and more details, see the "Exporting to IDEs" section of the [ModusToolbox&trade; software user guide](https://www.infineon.com/ModusToolboxUserGuide) (locally available at *{ModusToolbox&trade; software install directory}/docs_{version}/mtb_user_guide.pdf*).
3. Follow the instructions displayed in the terminal to create or import the application as an IDE project.
</details>
## Operation
1. Prepare your board as described in the [Hardware setup](#hardware-setup) section.
2. Connect the board to your PC using a micro-USB cable through the debug USB connector.
3. Program the board using Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; software:
1. Select the application project in the Project Explorer.
2. In the **Quick Panel**, scroll down, and click **\<Application Name> Program (JLink)**.
4. Check whether the LED toggles every ~500 ms, which confirms that commands are sent by the I2C master and are received by the I2C slave.
## Design and implementation
The following occurs in the code example:
1. Inside `main()`, the example is initialized:
- The master and slave interfaces are initialized using personalities.
- Interrupt priority is set for the receive event of the I2C slave.
- SysTimer is initialized to call `SysTick_Handler` every 1 ms.
2. Inside `SysTick_Handler`:
- The I2C master interface sends commands to the I2C slave interface every 500 ms (see `#define I2C_MASTER_SEND_TASK_MS` in *main.c*) to toggle an LED.
3. Inside I2C slave:
- The receive interrupt routine processes the commands sent from the I2C master to the I2C slave.
## Debugging
You can debug the example to step through the code. In the IDE, use the **\<Application Name> Debug (JLink)** configuration in the **Quick Panel**. For more details, see the "Program and Debug" section in the [Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox&trade; user guide](https://www.infineon.com/MTBEclipseIDEUserGuide).
