I am facing a problem. I have a couple of XMC4500 Relax Kit development board. I also have 2 nos. of self-contained Si7021, BME280 and AT24C256 board/module.
I have connected my modules with the XMC4500 Relax Kit via Dupont cables (20 cm length). All modules are interfaced with MCU via IIC bus. I am using a common bus (IIC) for interfacing all modules.
When I interface Si7021 module the program works seamlessly but the same program does not work for BME280 and AT24C256 modules. After sending Start Condition (including start address) I am not getting an acknowledgment from the slave.
The Protocol Status Register has the following value :

PSR_IICMode -> 0x3434


  • Start Condition Received
  • Stop Condition Received
  • Non-Acknowledge Received
  • Receiver Start Indication Flag
  • Transmit Shift Indication Flag
  • Transmit Buffer Indication Flag


For purpose of debugging have commented all operational code except for I2C communication but I receive the same status from PSR.
I have checked slave address and it is proper. The catch is the same modules work seamlessly when interfaced with Raspberry Pi 3 for which I wrote an I2C PROGRAM.

I am confused how did PSR register the following events :


  • Stop Condition Received
  • Receiver Start Indication Flag
