5.6 General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)

The GPIO peripheral provides general-purpose pins that can be configured as either inputs or outputs. When configured as an output, a write to an internal register can control the state driven on the output pin. When configured as an input, the state of the input is detectable by reading the state of an internal register. In addition, the GPIO peripheral can produce CPU interrupts and EDMA events in different interrupt/event generation modes. The GPIO peripheral provides generic connections to external devices. The GPIO pins are grouped into banks of 16 pins per bank (i.e., bank 0 consists of GPIO [0:15]). There are a total of 7 GPIO banks in the , because the has 104 GPIOs.

The GPIO peripheral supports the following:

Up to 104 3.3v GPIO pins, GPIO[103:0]

Interrupts:

Up to 10 unique GPIO[9:0] interrupts from Bank 0

Up to 7 GPIO (bank aggregated) interrupt signals, one from each of the 7 banks of GPIOs

Interrupts can be triggered by rising and/or falling edge, specified for each interrupt capable GPIO signal

DMA events:

Up to 10 unique GPIO DMA events from Bank 0

Up to 7 GPIO (bank aggregated) DMA event signals, one from each of the 7 banks of GPIOs

Set/clear functionality: Firmware writes 1 to corresponding bit position(s) to set or to clear GPIO signal(s). This allows multiple firmware processes to toggle GPIO output signals without critical section protection (disable interrupts, program GPIO, re-enable interrupts, to prevent context switching to anther process during GPIO programming).

Separate Input/Output registers

Output register in addition to set/clear so that, if preferred by firmware, some GPIO output signals can be toggled by direct write to the output register(s).

Output register, when read, reflects output drive status. This, in addition to the input register reflecting pin status and open-drain I/O cell, allows wired logic be implemented.
