GPIO input/output configuration flags

GPIO_INPUT

Enables pin as input.

GPIO_OUTPUT

Enables pin as output, no change to the output state.

GPIO_DISCONNECTED

Disables pin for both input and output.

GPIO_OUTPUT_LOW

Configures GPIO pin as output and initializes it to a low state.

GPIO_OUTPUT_HIGH

Configures GPIO pin as output and initializes it to a high state.

GPIO_OUTPUT_INACTIVE

Configures GPIO pin as output and initializes it to a logic 0.

GPIO_OUTPUT_ACTIVE

Configures GPIO pin as output and initializes it to a logic 1.

GPIO interrupt configuration flags

The GPIO_INT_* flags are used to specify how input GPIO pins will trigger interrupts.

The interrupts can be sensitive to pin physical or logical level. Interrupts sensitive to pin logical level take into account GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag. If a pin was configured as Active Low, physical level low will be considered as logical level 1 (an active state), physical level high will be considered as logical level 0 (an inactive state). The GPIO controller should reset the interrupt status, such as clearing the pending bit, etc, when configuring the interrupt triggering properties. Applications should use the GPIO_INT_MODE_ENABLE_ONLY and GPIO_INT_MODE_DISABLE_ONLY flags to enable and disable interrupts on the pin without changing any GPIO settings.

GPIO_INT_DISABLE

Disables GPIO pin interrupt.

GPIO_INT_EDGE_RISING

Configures GPIO interrupt to be triggered on pin rising edge and enables it.

GPIO_INT_EDGE_FALLING

Configures GPIO interrupt to be triggered on pin falling edge and enables it.

GPIO_INT_EDGE_BOTH

Configures GPIO interrupt to be triggered on pin rising or falling edge and enables it.

GPIO_INT_LEVEL_LOW

Configures GPIO interrupt to be triggered on pin physical level low and enables it.

GPIO_INT_LEVEL_HIGH

Configures GPIO interrupt to be triggered on pin physical level high and enables it.

GPIO_INT_EDGE_TO_INACTIVE

Configures GPIO interrupt to be triggered on pin state change to logical level 0 and enables it.

GPIO_INT_EDGE_TO_ACTIVE

Configures GPIO interrupt to be triggered on pin state change to logical level 1 and enables it.

GPIO_INT_LEVEL_INACTIVE

Configures GPIO interrupt to be triggered on pin logical level 0 and enables it.

GPIO_INT_LEVEL_ACTIVE

Configures GPIO interrupt to be triggered on pin logical level 1 and enables it.

GPIO pin active level flags

GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW

GPIO pin is active (has logical value ‘1’) in low state.

GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH

GPIO pin is active (has logical value ‘1’) in high state.

GPIO pin drive flags

GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN

Configures GPIO output in open drain mode (wired AND).

Note

‘Open Drain’ mode also known as ‘Open Collector’ is an output configuration which behaves like a switch that is either connected to ground or disconnected.

GPIO_OPEN_SOURCE

Configures GPIO output in open source mode (wired OR).

Note

‘Open Source’ is a term used by software engineers to describe output mode opposite to ‘Open Drain’. It behaves like a switch that is either connected to power supply or disconnected. There exist no corresponding hardware schematic and the term is generally unknown to hardware engineers.

GPIO pin bias flags

GPIO_PULL_UP

Enables GPIO pin pull-up.

GPIO_PULL_DOWN

Enable GPIO pin pull-down.

Unnamed Group

STM32_GPIO_WKUP

STM32 GPIO specific flags.

The driver flags are encoded in the 8 upper bits of gpio_dt_flags_t as follows:

  • Bit 8: Configure a GPIO pin to power on the system after Poweroff. Configures a GPIO pin to power on the system after Poweroff. This flag is reserved to GPIO pins that are associated with wake-up pins in STM32 PWR devicetree node, through the property “wkup-gpios”.

Defines

GPIO_DT_SPEC_GET_BY_IDX(node_id, prop, idx)

Static initializer for a gpio_dt_spec.

This returns a static initializer for a gpio_dt_spec structure given a devicetree node identifier, a property specifying a GPIO and an index.

Example devicetree fragment: 

 n: node {
    foo-gpios = <&gpio0 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
                <&gpio1 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
 }
Example usage: 
 const struct gpio_dt_spec spec = GPIO_DT_SPEC_GET_BY_IDX(DT_NODELABEL(n),
                                                     foo_gpios, 1);
 // Initializes 'spec' to:
 // {
 //         .port = DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_NODELABEL(gpio1)),
 //         .pin = 2,
 //         .dt_flags = GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW
 // }
The ‘gpio’ field must still be checked for readiness, e.g. using device_is_ready(). It is an error to use this macro unless the node exists, has the given property, and that property specifies a GPIO controller, pin number, and flags as shown above.

Parameters:

  • node_id – devicetree node identifier

  • prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name

  • idx – logical index into “prop”

Returns:

static initializer for a struct gpio_dt_spec for the property

GPIO_DT_SPEC_GET_BY_IDX_OR(node_id, prop, idx, default_value)

Like GPIO_DT_SPEC_GET_BY_IDX(), with a fallback to a default value.

If the devicetree node identifier ‘node_id’ refers to a node with a property ‘prop’, this expands to GPIO_DT_SPEC_GET_BY_IDX(node_id, prop, idx). The default_value parameter is not expanded in this case.

Otherwise, this expands to default_value.

Parameters:

  • node_id – devicetree node identifier

  • prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name

  • idx – logical index into “prop”

  • default_value – fallback value to expand to

Returns:

GPIO_DT_RESERVED_RANGES_NGPIOS(node_id, ngpios)

Makes a bitmask of reserved GPIOs from DT "gpio-reserved-ranges" property and "ngpios" argument.

This macro returns the value as a bitmask of the "gpio-reserved-ranges" property. This property defines the disabled (or ‘reserved’) GPIOs in the range 0…ngpios-1 and is specified as an array of value’s pairs that define the start offset and size of the reserved ranges.

For example, setting “gpio-reserved-ranges = <3 2>, <10 1>;” means that GPIO offsets 3, 4 and 10 cannot be used even if ngpios = <18>.

The implementation constraint is inherited from common DT limitations: a maximum of 64 pairs can be used (with result limited to bitsize of gpio_port_pins_t type).

NB: Due to the nature of C macros, some incorrect tuple definitions (for example, overlapping or out of range) will produce undefined results.

Also be aware that if ngpios is less than 32 (bit size of DT int type), then all unused MSBs outside the range defined by ngpios will be marked as reserved too.

Example devicetree fragment:

a {
        compatible = "some,gpio-controller";
        ngpios = <32>;
        gpio-reserved-ranges = <0  4>, <5  3>, <9  5>, <11 2>, <15 2>,
                                <18 2>, <21 1>, <23 1>, <25 4>, <30 2>;
};

b {
        compatible = "some,gpio-controller";
        ngpios = <18>;
        gpio-reserved-ranges = <3 2>, <10 1>;
};

Example usage:

struct some_config {
        uint32_t ngpios;
        uint32_t gpios_reserved;
};

static const struct some_config dev_cfg_a = {
        .ngpios = DT_PROP_OR(DT_LABEL(a), ngpios, 0),
        .gpios_reserved = GPIO_DT_RESERVED_RANGES_NGPIOS(DT_LABEL(a),
                                DT_PROP(DT_LABEL(a), ngpios)),
};

static const struct some_config dev_cfg_b = {
        .ngpios = DT_PROP_OR(DT_LABEL(b), ngpios, 0),
        .gpios_reserved = GPIO_DT_RESERVED_RANGES_NGPIOS(DT_LABEL(b),
                                DT_PROP(DT_LABEL(b), ngpios)),
};

This expands to:

struct some_config {
        uint32_t ngpios;
        uint32_t gpios_reserved;
};

static const struct some_config dev_cfg_a = {
        .ngpios = 32,
        .gpios_reserved = 0xdeadbeef,
                       // 0b1101 1110 1010 1101 1011 1110 1110 1111

static const struct some_config dev_cfg_b = {
        .ngpios = 18,
        .gpios_reserved = 0xfffc0418,
                       // 0b1111 1111 1111 1100 0000 0100 0001 1000
                       // unused MSBs were marked as reserved too

This macro is paired with GPIO_DT_RESERVED_RANGES_NGPIOS(), however unlike the latter, it returns a bitmask of ALLOWED gpios.

Example devicetree fragment:

a {
   compatible = "some,gpio-controller";
   ngpios = <32>;

Typedefs

typedef uint32_t gpio_port_pins_t

Identifies a set of pins associated with a port.

The pin with index n is present in the set if and only if the bit identified by (1U << n) is set.

typedef uint32_t gpio_port_value_t

Provides values for a set of pins associated with a port.

The value for a pin with index n is high (physical mode) or active (logical mode) if and only if the bit identified by (1U << n) is set. Otherwise the value for the pin is low (physical mode) or inactive (logical mode).

Values of this type are often paired with a gpio_port_pins_t value that specifies which encoded pin values are valid for the operation.

typedef uint8_t gpio_pin_t

Provides a type to hold a GPIO pin index.

This reduced-size type is sufficient to record a pin number, e.g. from a devicetree GPIOS property.

typedef uint16_t gpio_dt_flags_t

Provides a type to hold GPIO devicetree flags.

All GPIO flags that can be expressed in devicetree fit in the low 16 bits of the full flags field, so use a reduced-size type to record that part of a GPIOS property.

The lower 8 bits are used for standard flags. The upper 8 bits are reserved for SoC specific flags.

typedef uint32_t gpio_flags_t

Provides a type to hold GPIO configuration flags.

This type is sufficient to hold all flags used to control GPIO configuration, whether pin or interrupt.

typedef void (*gpio_callback_handler_t)(const struct device *port, struct gpio_callback *cb, gpio_port_pins_t pins)

Param pins:

Mask of pins that triggers the callback handler

static inline int gpio_pin_set(const struct device *port, gpio_pin_t pin, int value)

Set logical level of an output pin.

Set logical level of an output pin taking into account GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag. Value 0 sets the pin in logical 0 / inactive state. Any value other than 0 sets the pin in logical 1 / active state. If pin is configured as Active High, the default, setting it in inactive state will force the pin to a low physical level. If pin is configured as Active Low, setting it in inactive state will force the pin to a high physical level.

Note: If pin is configured as Active High, gpio_pin_set() function is equivalent to gpio_pin_set_raw().
