Honestly, from this description, I'm wondering if this posting is a joke.<br>
<br>
I2C is entirely _reliant_ on pull-ups. It's a wire-or bus, and the<br>
logic 1 state is created by no device pulling the signal low, thereby<br>
allowing the pull-up resistor to pull the line to the logic 1 state.<br>
<br>
The pull-up must be the correct strength for the devices on the bus.<br>
If it is too strong, then a driver may not be able to pull the signal<br>
sufficiently low for other devices to register it as a logic 0.<br>
<br>
Conversely, the pull-up must be strong enough so that the rise-time<br>
of the signal is sufficient to register as a logic 1.<br>
<br>
If it's a problem with the rise time, then increasing the clock rate<br>
will just make the situation worse.<br>
<br>
So, if other devices work on the bus, it could be that the Vil<br>
threshold of this device is not being achieved, whereas the other<br>
devices are happy. Therefore, I would suggest you study the data<br>
sheets of the device that isn't being detected.<br>
<br>
Lastly, if the undetectable device has a reset line, it's possible<br>
that the device isn't responding because it's being held in reset.<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto">Please try to use an logic analyser like saleae logic.</div><div dir="auto">Probe the i2c bus, reset line, power lines, pins that set the i2c address for the device.</div><div dir="auto">Can tell us which device it is?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
