Forum: FPGA, VHDL & Verilog MACHXO2 - accessing Wishbone EFB i2c from Verilog?

I am quite new to FPGA and I'm using MachXO2 and the Lattice MachXO2 
breakout board.

I am trying to get my head around interfacing the the MachXO2's i2c EFB 
using Wishbone.

I've done a bit of searching around on the Lattice website and with 
google, and can find lots of documentation about the EFB registers and 
so on, and even some examples - but they use the Lattice Mico soft 
processor.

I have used IPExpress to generate the ipx file for an I2C "Primary 
User", but I'm not sure how to use it.

I see someone on here has done a very similar thing using VHDL, but I 
would like to use verilog as far as possible.

Can anyone point me to an example of accessing the Wishbone I2C efb from 
verilog, without using the Mico soft processor?

Did you try the example in this link ?

It is an example for i2c master and slave, it doesn't use the Mico uP.
I think that you have problems using a wishbone interface, there are 
some docs about it, I think that I have seen something around opencores.

This is a thread of my Project and Doc. pdf ect. with pictures for the 
Machxo2 Hardened Core to the EFB and the i2c Bus ...

Thank you, I had not found that project on the lattice website. It is 
helpful.

Hint:
Google for Lattice IP Catalog, and google for Machxo2 Pico Developer 
Kit.

First i build a state-engine,
for a I2C Master with a (Machxo2-Hardended Core via WBONE-Bus).
Hint:
You can Simulate the I2C-Bus via the ALDEC simulator.
