inout verilog protocol I2C - verilog

Question

I'm creating the I2C protocol in verilog to read data from a sensor (BMP180), AS you know, the sensor sends me a bit of ack recognition. How do I use the inout i2c_sda port to send and how do I receive.
As delivery and receipt i2c_sda the same line, if my variable is declared of type inout.

Answer 1

If you have a module pin defined as
inout wire pin
then you can access it like so
wire pin_input = pin;
assign pin = pin_oe ? pin_output : 1'bz;
this should infer a tristate buffer.
However, I would be careful when doing this, as if you infer a tristate buffer too early, it can limit what you can do with the module. For example, it would be possible to connect multiple internal I2C components together, such as allowing multiple masters inside the FPGA access to the same pins. However, tristate signals cannot be routed inside the FPGA, so if you implement the tristate inside the I2C master module, this becomes impossible. Instead, what you might consider is implementing each pin as three module pins: input, output, and output enable/tristate. This allows multiple modules to be connected with an emulated tristate bus, and allows them to share one set of tristate buffers to the actual I/O pin on the chip.
For a good example of how this works, see the comments in https://github.com/alexforencich/verilog-i2c/blob/master/rtl/i2c_master.v .
