#1 Support I2C masters without clock-strech support

Closed

Currently clock stretching is used for write/erase timing - the bus is “stopped” (by forcing SCL=low) while the AVR is writing to the flash/eeprom.

Some I2C masters (eg. BCM2835 / Raspberry Pi) do not detect SCL=low forced by the slave und continue to write data to twiboot.

Workaround could be:

  • start the actual write cycle only after STOP condition is received
  • do not acknowledge ADDR+WRITE while chip is busy writing
  • add a new read command to check if chip is buy writing

This will break existing applications since (fast) I2C transaction will now fail during chip write cycle.
