Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls in Embedded Development: A Comprehensive Analysis and Practical Solutions for I2C Bus Deadlocks

1. Introduction: When the “Two Wires” Suddenly “Stop Working“ In the daily work of embedded engineers, the I2C bus, with its two-wire communication feature, is a prime example of “minimalist aesthetics“. However, this seemingly simple two-wire system can suddenly fall into a “deadlock“—the clock line (SCL) stubbornly remains high, while the data line (SDA) is … Read more

How to Detect and Resolve I2C Communication Deadlocks

Click the aboveblue text to follow us The I2C bus, as a widely used communication protocol in embedded systems, has its stability and reliability directly affecting the overall performance of the system. An I2C deadlock refers to a situation where the bus is stuck and unable to continue communication, usually caused by a slave device … Read more
