When is comes to I3C the terminology is mixed among most the designers. Some engineers called is I3C Target and Some engineers call it I3C Slave. Technically both I3C Slave and Target are the same.

The confusion has come from the spec. In the I3C Spec before v1.1.1 I3C Device was called I3C Slave and later in the newer specs it’s called as I3C Target.

The later version of the spec had more changes as well. The slave reset pattern is called Target reset pattern and the commands DEFSLVS CC is called DEFTGTS CCC
