General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) Port

This chapter describes one 8-bit port. A device may include a combination of several ports with different implementations.

For the device specific implementation, see Section 3.10 on page 32.

5.1

OVERVIEW

The GPIO port is an 8-bit port, which is based on eight pins. It features:

Software capability to manipulate and read pin levels

Controllable system notiﬁcation by several means based on the pin level or level transition

Ability to capture and manipulate events and their associated status

Back-drive protected pins.

GPIO port operation is associated with two sets of registers:

Pin Conﬁguration registers, mapped in the Device Conﬁguration space. These registers are used to set up the logical

behavior of each pin. There are two 8-bit registers for each GPIO pin.

Four 8-bit runtime registers: GPIO Data Out (GPDO), GPIO Data In (GPDI), GPIO Event Enable (GPEVEN) and

GPIO Event Status (GPEVST). These registers are mapped in the GPIO device I/O space (which is determined by

the base address registers in the GPIO Device Conﬁguration). They are used to manipulate and/or read the pin val-

ues, and to control and handle system notiﬁcation. Each runtime register corresponds to the 8-pin port, such that bit

n in each one of the four registers is associated with GPIOXn pin, where X is the port number.

Each GPIO pin is associated with ten configuration bits and the corresponding bit slice of the four runtime registers, as

shown in Figure 8.

The functionality of the GPIO port is divided into basic functionality, which includes the manipulation and reading of the GPIO

pins, and enhanced functionality. Basic functionality is described in Section 5.2. Enhanced functionality, which includes

event detection and system notification, is described in Section 5.3.
