/**
 * @defgroup I2C I2C Driver
 * @brief   Generic I2C Driver.
 * @details This module implements a generic I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
 *          driver.
 * @pre     In order to use the I2C driver the @p HAL_USE_I2C option
 *          must be enabled in @p halconf.h.
 *
 * @section i2c_1 Driver State Machine
 * The driver implements a state machine internally, not all the driver
 * functionalities can be used in any moment, any transition not explicitly
 * shown in the following diagram has to be considered an error and shall
 * be captured by an assertion (if enabled).
 * @dot
  digraph example {
    rankdir="LR";
    node [shape=circle, fontname=Helvetica, fontsize=8, fixedsize="true",
          width="0.9", height="0.9"];
    edge [fontname=Helvetica, fontsize=8];

    uninit [label="I2C_UNINIT", style="bold"];
    stop [label="I2C_STOP\nLow Power"];
    ready [label="I2C_READY\nClock Enabled"];
	active [label="I2C_ACTIVE\nBus Active"];

    uninit -> stop [label="i2cInit()"];
    stop ->	  stop [label="i2cStop()"];
    stop ->   ready [label="i2cStart()"];
    ready ->  active [label="i2cMasterTransmit()\ni2cMasterReceive()"];
	active -> ready [label="_i2c_isr_code()"];
    ready ->  stop [label="i2cStop()"];
  }
 * @enddot
 * The driver is not thread safe for performance reasons, if you need to access
 * the I2C bus from multiple threads then use the @p i2cAcquireBus() and
 * @p i2cReleaseBus() APIs in order to gain exclusive access.
