Initializing the FreeRTOS TWI driver

for standard operation

This example configures the FreeRTOS TWI driver to:

• Support simultaneous access from multiple RTOS tasks.
• Wait in the FreeRTOS transmit function until all the data has been completely sent
• Wait in the FreeRTOS receive function until all the requested data has been received

Other FreeRTOS tasks will execute during any wait periods.

If the driver is initialized with this configuration then only the freertos_twi_write_packet() and freertos_twi_read_packet() API functions can be used to transmit and receive data respectively. freertos_twi_write_packet_async() and freertos_twi_read_packet_async() must not be used.

Refer to the FreeRTOS peripheral control projects in the Atmel ASF distribution for complete working examples, and the FreeRTOS web site for information on getting started with FreeRTOS.

 if (freertos_twi != NULL) {
    // Calling freertos_twi_master_init() will enable the peripheral
    // clock, and set the TWI into I2C master mode.  Other ASF
    // configuration functions, such as twi_set_speed(), can then be
    // called here.
