A component designator only makes sense if you have the correct schematic.

@vvs551 Could you make a picture of the TOF PCB? The schematics are not yet available
I have a hypothesis on all this I2C issuses.

But before just to exclude software bugs, please check to use the latest ESP32 Arduino core, at least V1.0.1 https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/releases including all the recent I2C fixes.

@vvs551 If you wire the ENV module to the GROVE port A (with and without HUB) do you have the charging base connected?
Specifically do you have the M5GO Base (e.g. Fire) or the Core Bottom Base?

@lukasmaximus that document, which is heavily outdated

@Kabron
Install the github repository. The Arduino ESP32 v1.0.0 release version does not recover from failed reads on the I2C bus until the power is cycled.
Don't know what is the purpose of multiple power management ICs if you have only one battery. But the registers of this IP 5306_I2C are similar to the IP5108 covered in http://forum.m5stack.com/post/1464
Maybe to prevent the battery charging during boot is a workaround

@watson
M5Fire schematics?
Its fine to used the altered pin maps as basis but be aware your leaflets contain errors.
Fire has an undocumented I2C device on the bus, most probably the power management IC.

M5Camera really I2C SDA on G22 not G25? Schematics?

M5Core
Not up to date, connectors missing

M BUS
HPWR?

@kabron
Have you installed the gitlab repository code or the release version https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/releases ?
Because the v1.0.0 Release has a huge I2C bug that affects all readings on the bus and is only corrected in the repository

@ajb2k3
The forum is hosted by Alisoft (Alibaba group) in Hangzhou behind the great firewall. So something might trigger the behavior (keywords) intentional or not. The main site is hosted in Singapore and not affected.

There is also this very weird behavior, that http://forum.m5stack.com is giving a timeout error from my IP address in the last week after I posted something here for 3 times. Well certainly coincidence, most certainly.
After renewing my dynamic IP this forum loads immediately.

I abandoned this platform for commercial prototypes because of lack of documentation. But at least there are now hints for more info in a new repository.
