I2C is open drain, so set up the GPIO accordingly.

G'day Wolfram,

This was intentional. The gpio we use to drive the i2c line is implemented in an
FPGA and signals a buffer attached to the GPIO to drive scl OPEN drain. The GPIO is output
only.
The gpio setup can still specify the the GPIO be allocated OPEN drain if someone wishes
to use a "smarter" gpio.

So while the scl is open drain, there may be hardware in between that isn't.
What would the correct way be to deal with that now?

So, it is not possible to read SCL status then? Hmm, currently a working
get_scl is required...

Well, I don't know much about this IP core and how/where it is used. I
just wonder what happens if another user comes along using an
open-drain GPIO. Is that possible?

I assume it is the same with SDA? Non open-drain? Output only?

Just had a closer look at how it's setup here.
Maybe the following helps.

The designware core is routed thru the fpga fabric.
Which provides and SCL SDA output enable pin.

Recovery gpio are provided by a FPGA gpio IO core.
This core has a fixed output and fixed input.

Here's the relevant bit on how it's all combined.
PWR_SDA_a / PWR_SCL_a are the signals to the outside world.
All the other signals are internal

   I2c0_Dat_s <= PWR_SDA_a;
   I2c0_Clk_s <= PWR_SCL_a;
   PWR_SDA_a <= '0' when  (I2c0_Dat_Oe_s = '1') else 'Z';

This bit of logic combines the i2c core and gpios.
   PWR_SCL_a <= '0' when ((I2c0_Clk_Oe_s = '1') or (PWR_SCL_rec_s = '0')) else 'Z';

     , pio_io_in_port(1)                   => PWR_SCL_a
     , pio_io_in_port(2)                   => PWR_SDA_a

     , pio_io_out_port(1)                  => PWR_SCL_rec_s

pio_io_out_port port is the fixed config for output
pio_io_in_port is the fixed config for input

The gpio input / outputs exist in the same ip core.

PWR_SCL_rec_s is the recovery clock gpio signal. It needs to be driven high / low.
There's no concept of HiZ internally in the FPGA.

If there was some kinda of OpenDrain gpio driver that modelled a FET driven by a push pull GPIO I guess
it could be made to work.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I am just afraid it is a litle too
detailed for me. I am not sure if I can read it correctly:

When you read the SCL/SDA GPIO, does it return the true state of the
SCL/SDA line or does it just reflect the value it was set to output?

> There's no concept of HiZ internally in the FPGA.

Which probably means SDA is to be treated the same as SCL -> push/pull.

> If there was some kinda of OpenDrain gpio driver that modelled a FET

Still, that sounds quite unlikely to me, so we can for now assume that
all designware users will have push/pull?

Disclaimer: I have zero experience with this core, I don't know how hard
it is to modify or which versions are out there.

Thanks for your help,

Yes it returns the true state of the output pin.
I admit it's a bit odd from the classic GPIO point of view.

Yes. They're both driven push/pull, but the try state of the line is available.

I know of one other doing the same thing with the core in the Altera SocFPGA platform.
As they put me on to this solution for doing the recovery when the i2c was routed thru the SOC's fpga.

In other hard configurations they may have a 'proper' GPIO available that needs to be OpenDrain.
