Rapid GPIO (RGPIO)

9.1Introduction

The Rapid GPIO (RGPIO) module provides a 16-bit general-purpose I/O module directly connected to the processor’s high-speed 32-bit local platform bus. This connection to the processor’s high-speed platform bus plus support for single-cycle, zero wait-state data transfers allows the RGPIO module to provide improved pin performance when compared to more traditional GPIO modules located on the internal slave peripheral bus.

Many of the pins associated with a device may be used for several different functions. Their primary functions are to provide external interfaces to access off-chip resources. When not used for their primary function, many of the pins may be used as general-purpose digital I/O (GPIO) pins. The definition of the exact pin functions and the affected signals is specific to each device. Every GPIO port, including the RGPIO module, has registers that configure, monitor, and control the port pins.

Figure 9-1shows the MCF51QE128 series block diagram with the RGPIO highlighted.
