I2C (no interrupts) EEPROM how/need to check for ACK ?

Hi,

I'm using the MSP430F5510 and trying to interface with an EEPROM via I2C. I've searched through the forum but I wasn't able to get a definitive answer.

My question is do I need to check for ACK and if so how do I achieve this without interrupts?

The following is the write cycle taken from the EEPROM's datasheet:

This is my code which actually works but I'm not checking for ACK anywhere (at least not explicitly, maybe driverlib is doing so?)

static void init(void)
{
	WDT_A_hold(WDT_A_BASE);
	UCS_clockSignalInit(UCS_FLLREF, UCS_REFOCLK_SELECT, UCS_CLOCK_DIVIDER_1);
	UCS_clockSignalInit(UCS_ACLK, UCS_REFOCLK_SELECT, UCS_CLOCK_DIVIDER_1);
	UCS_initFLLSettle(8000000 / 1000, 8000000 / 32768);
	GPIO_setAsPeripheralModuleFunctionOutputPin(GPIO_PORT_P4, GPIO_PIN1 + GPIO_PIN2);
}

static void eeprom_init(void)
{
	USCI_B_I2C_initMasterParam param = { 0 };
	param.dataRate = USCI_B_I2C_SET_DATA_RATE_400KBPS;
	param.i2cClk = UCS_getSMCLK();
	param.selectClockSource = USCI_B_I2C_CLOCKSOURCE_SMCLK;
	USCI_B_I2C_initMaster(BASE, &param);
	USCI_B_I2C_setSlaveAddress(BASE, SLAVE_ADDRESS);
	USCI_B_I2C_enable(BASE);
}

static void eeprom_write(uint16_t address, uint8_t* data, size_t size)
{
	USCI_B_I2C_setMode(BASE, USCI_B_I2C_TRANSMIT_MODE);
	USCI_B_I2C_masterMultiByteSendStart(BASE, ADDRESS_HIGH(address));
	__delay_cycles(DELAY);
	USCI_B_I2C_masterMultiByteSendNext(BASE, ADDRESS_LOW(address));
	__delay_cycles(DELAY);

	uint8_t i;
	for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
	{
		USCI_B_I2C_masterMultiByteSendNext(BASE, data[i]);
		__delay_cycles(DELAY);
	}
	USCI_B_I2C_masterMultiByteSendStop(BASE);
	__delay_cycles(DELAY);
}

I've tried to use "while (!(USCI_B_I2C_getInterruptStatus(BASE, USCI_B_I2C_NAK_INTERRUPT)));" but this gets stuck and never returns.

Also BASE is defined as USCI_B1_BASE.

Thanks
