MSP430 with ST7032i, now working!
After much fiddling, I got the ST7032i working with an MSP430. The fundamental issue seemed to be getting the I2C data formatting correct. The MSP430 doesn’t have hardware I2C support. What it does have is something called the USI (Universal Serial Interface?). This gives some hardware support for serial transfers, but start/stop/ack bits need to be handled in software. The issue was that the I2C examples provided by TI describe 8bit transfers. With each transfer the address is sent, followed by an ACK, followed by 8bits of data. The USI can also be configured to send 16bits in one go. However the ST7032i doesn’t do either of those things. And it was only after looking at the output of a working Arduino example, and from reading the ST7032i datasheet that I actually understood what was happening.
Basically the ST7032i expects I2C packets that looks like this:
[START][ADDRESS][ACK][DATA1][ACK][DATA2][ACK][STOP]
Such is my understanding a 3am anyway. And this format does appear to work. I’ve no idea if that’s normal for I2C 16bit comms, but certainly on the MSP430 you have to implement those ACKs in the middle of the data in software. For reference the board consumes ~0.5mA at 3.3V.
Current source code is below, complete working example (with header) is available on github. The code below should give some hint of how the process works however:
