I2C communication between STM32L4R5 and esp32

I tried creating I2C connection between my stm32 board and esp32. I assume it is not working because of my code, due to the wiring being so simple in I2C communication, the pull up resistor is connected externally. Do you guys see any mistake in my code that could make my I2C to not work?  I cannot figure out why it would not work.

Hello,

there seems to me two potentially problems. At first, there should be connected pull up resistor to both I2C pins (SDA and SCL). The second, you are shifting slave address 0x08 in: 

HAL_I2C_Master_Receive(&hi2c2, 0x08 << 1, &receivedByte, 1, 100)

 I would say, there should be:

HAL_I2C_Master_Receive(&hi2c2, 0x08, &receivedByte, 1, 100)

Being that the slave address is 0x08 on the ESP32, then the OP is correct in shifting the slave address 0x08 left by 1 as indicated in the comments ST provides.

Don't worry, I won't byte.
