How to receive data using pynq.lib.iic.AxiIIC?

Support

I can successfully send data from the pynq to the slave device (MSP430) but I am not sure how to receive data from the MSP430.

What parameter should I put in the second spot of the receive function? It seems like it’s asking me to predict the data that should be coming to it.

I’m not sure what the data parameter should be there. I know it’s supposed to be a cdata pointer but is that a register on the pynq?

The PYNQ doc is not really specific on the parameter other than that it is is bytes-like. Should it be a buffer, register, RX_FIFO ?

Figured it out! The data parameter in the receive() function should be a bytes object produced by bytes(size) function.

Example:

test = bytes(1) should return an bytes object of size 1 byte

type(test) should return “bytes”

So if I expect to receive a char from a slave device with address 0x30, I would type

test_IIC = lib.AxiIIC(ol.ip_dict["axi_iic_0"])

and test_IIC.receive(0x30,test,1,0) will output 1.

This site helped me understand as well Python bytes() .
