I'll regenerate the logs shortly, but here are my summaries. I did increase the codesize to 216K (File system shrink to 32K) but that did not make a difference. Current master, with Current master, without |

That does not look critical. I tried to locate where the error code 116 comes from, but did not find it yet. The MP error code go up to 115. When the error happens, was any data transferred to the display? It seems that at least the init data was sent. But from the I2C code I cannot tell where error 116 could be raised. |

Thanks. That explains it. Timeout was most likely the reason, only the error numbers did not match. It seems to be set for almost all ports. So I do the same. No impact on the code size. |

The corner is partially cleared, while the bulk of the display has noise in
it. --- I presume that means some data was sent.

I tried to replicate the situation. I've built the binary with from today's master branch:
I did not have your manifest.py file, so I skipped it. But I copied ssd1306.mpy to the file system, which is empty besides that file. Sitting on a XIAO expansion board, i2c.scan() returns When I tried before to run the script without having it placed on the expansion board (== item at I2C 60), I got error 116. Still no clue when that one is raised. You could try to increase the timeout in samd/machine_i2c.c, line 42. It is set ATM to 100 (ms), assuming that a MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK call takes at least 1 ms. But even for a timeout, the error code is 110. |

I played with setting Frequency and HW I2C f <= 393442 seemed to work ... at least hasn't failed yet for several samples SoftI2C has not given that exception yet at any (reasonable) frequency I've tried < 600000 For my current testing I have the 'testit' script on the XIAO flash I will try with a local ssd1306 mpy instead of frozen version ... Thanks |

Rebuilt without ssd1306 frozen, got exactly the same hash for version as you had, but I still get the exception at 400000 with HW I2C. I tried multiple expansion boards and got the same results (including same frequency range behaviors.) I erased all the files and only had the testit script and ssd1306.mpy I'll try some aura calming exercises again. Thanks again |

My brain is scattered! I discovered error 116 comes up from ssd1306
initialization if the i2c is not correctly defined- it comes up on a
erroneous write of cmd. In my first case it was during a data write.
```
>> d=ssd1306.SSD1306_I2C(128, 64, i2c, addr=60)
>> d.show()
>> i2c = I2C(0, scl=Pin("A5_D5"), sda=Pin("A4_D4"), freq=400000) #
change i2c from underneath ssd1306 driver
>> i2c.scan()
[60, 81]
>> d.show()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "ssd1306.py", line 1, in show
File "ssd1306.py", line 1, in write_cmd
OSError: 116
>> d=ssd1306.SSD1306_I2C(128, 64, i2c, addr=60) # reinitiate display
with updated i2c
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "ssd1306.py", line 1, in __init__
File "ssd1306.py", line 1, in __init__

File "ssd1306.py", line 1, in show
File "ssd1306.py", line 1, in write_data
OSError: 116
>>
```
I am looking into how modules are linked together -- maybe some interplay
between frozen and compiled? Rarely a long shot pays off- but it does
happen.

That's another strange topic. The formula for the baud rate setting of the
controller is:
baud = peripheral_freq / (2 * baudrate) - 5 - (rise_time *
peripheral_freq) / 2
with peripheral_freq=48MHz, risetime = 200ns.
So there is value change for baud between 393_442 and 393_553, and 400_000
and 400_001, when integer arithmetic is used. But there is not reason why
just the value for 400_000, which is 51, should not work, but 50 and 52 do.
And why that depends on the select module being present or not.
Still unclear as well, why error 116 pops up.
Single-stepping through the code reveals nothing unexpected.

Yes I've seen that error 116 comes up if i2c is not properly defined or no I2C peripheral is connected. Only: I do not see in the code how this error number is set. The samd/machine_i2c only uses the error numbers 5, 19 and 110. |

That would be surprising. And not explain the behavior with varying baud rates. |

Seems to be hardware/system related. I disconnected the logic analyser and just left an I2C connection cable dangling off the expansiong board with open SDA/SCL (no new device) and the error goes away also. I unplug the free cable and the error comes back. The schematic shows a 4.7k pull-up resistor for SDA/SCL and that is close to what I measure. Can't explain why I didn't see this on earlier builds, and why the fussy frequency sensitivity ... ringing on signal lines? |

I had tested the signals with an logic analyzer as well and found them perfect. Looking at them with an oscilloscope shows a slight overshoot of 900mV max, 100MHz, ~2 cycles, at the falling edge. But that is probably caused by using a standard GND clip at the probe. I see that all the time, and it does not affect the operation. The rising edge looks perfect. It's slope is slow.

I have an exception (memory/timeout) showing up when I include
selectandssd1306in the build with the current (pre 1.21, 20230902) code. The V1.20 version works fine for my full example, but running with the new build fails when I include bothselectandssd1306. Note thatframebufis necessary, so I needed to change the code memory size. For V1.20.0 and earlier I used a custom link loader specification. For current version I used the codesize setting.Test board:
