GPIO Sample Application

Overview

This GPIOSample application demonstrates basic functionality of EM-X270 GPIOs under Windows CE:

  • How to configure a GPIO pin as output and manipulate it.
  • How to configure a GPIO pin as input and respond to changes in signal level.
  • How to setup an edge triggered event.

Application Behavior

Prerequisites for the application:

  • A demo keypad provided with the EM-X270 evaluation kit.

The GPIOSample manipulates the following GPIOs:

  • GPIO 22 (pin 10 of P2 connector on the Keypad Demo Board) - Set as output
  • GPIO 36 (pin 9 of P2 connector on the Keypad Demo Board) - Set as input
  • GPIO 96 (pin 8 of P2 connector on the Keypad Demo Board) - Set as input
  • GPIO 107 (pin 5 of P2 connector on the Keypad Demo Board) - Set as input

GPIO22 voltage level may be monitored with a DVM or an oscilloscope. GPIO36, GPIO96 and GPIO107 may be controlled by an external switch or button.

The GPIOSample performs the following actions:

  • Edge detection on GPIO107 . Event handler is registered with GPIORegisterInterrupt. The handler calls GPIOInterruptDone to indicate interrupt completion.
  • Clock simulation on GPIO22 with a period of 3 seconds.
  • Input voltage level monitoring on GPIO36.
  • Polling on GPIO96 until it is asserted.

Available GPIOs

The following table specifies GPIOs available on the EM-X270 platform:

Functions

HANDLE GPIOOpen()

Opens an instance of the GPIO Driver.

Return Values
Returns a handle that should be used to access the driver. Nonzero indicates success.


void GPIOClose(HANDLE hDevice)

Closes the driver handle

Parameters
  • hDevice - Handle to an open driver instance



BOOL GPIOSetValue(HANDLE hDevice,DWORD num, GPIO_VALUE val)

Sets the state of a GPIO.

Parameters
  • hDevice - Handle to an open driver instance
  • num - GPIO number.
  • val - The desired logical state.
Return Values
TRUE - indicates success
FALSE - indicates failure
Remarks
Make sure the GPIO direction is setup as output.


BOOL GPIOGetValue(HANDLE hDevice,DWORD num,GPIO_VALUE *gpioVal)

Return the logical state of a GPIO.

Parameters
  • hDevice - Handle to an open driver instance
  • num - GPIO number.
  • gpioVal - pointer to the GPIO state variable
Return Values
TRUE - indicates success
FALSE - indicates failure
Remarks
Make sure the GPIO direction is setup as input. Returned value for an output GPIO is undefined


void GPIOSetAsInput(HANDLE hDevice, DWORD num)

Configures a GPIO as an input.

Parameters
  • hDevice - Handle to an open driver instance.
  • num - GPIO number.
Return Values
TRUE - indicates success
FALSE - indicates failure


BOOL GPIOSetAsOutput(HANDLE hDevice,DWORD num, GPIO_VALUE val)

Configures a GPIO as an output and sets its logical state.

Parameters
  • hDevice - Handle to an open driver instance
  • num - GPIO number.
  • val - The initial GPIO value
Return Values
TRUE - indicates success
FALSE - indicates failure


DWORD GPIORegisterInterrupt(HANDLE hDevice,GPIO_INTERRUPT interrupt)

Registers a GPIO as an interrupt source. The interrupt is triggered according to the configuration in GPIO_INTERRUPT.Edge member settings.

Parameters
  • hDevice - Handle to an open driver instance
  • interrupt- data structure that defines parameters for the interrupt registration
struct gpio_intr_t{
	DWORD dwGpioNum;
	GPIO_EDGE_SETTINGS  Edge;
	HANDLE	Event;
} GPIO_INTERRUPT;
Return Values
TRUE - indicates success. The handle for the interrupt event is stored in GPIO_INTERRUPT.Event
Remarks
  • This function must be called before using the GPIO_INTERRUPT.Event parameter.
  • The GPIO_INTERRUPT.Event parameter may only be used in a WaitForSingleObject call. A WaitForMultipleObjects call with GPIO_INTERRUPT.Event will fail.
  • If you use GPIO_INTERRUPT.Event in a call to WaitForSingleObject before you call GPIOInterruptInitialize, GPIOInterruptInitialize will fail.


BOOL GPIOInterruptDone(HANDLE hDevice, DWORD num)

Signals to the kernel that GPIO interrupt processing is complete.

Parameters
  • hDevice - Handle to an open driver instance
  • num - GPIO number.
Return Values
TRUE- indicates success.
Remarks
A program calls GPIOInterruptDone when it has completed the interrupt processing and is ready for another interrupt.


DWORD GPIOUnRegisterInterrupt(HANDLE hDevice, DWORD num)

Disables the GPIO hardware interrupt.

Parameters
  • hDevice - Handle to an open driver instance
  • num - GPIO number.
Return Values
TRUE - indicates success.
Remarks
A program calls GPIOUnRegisterInterrupt to disable the hardware interrupt and to unregister the event that was registered by GPIOInterruptInitialize.
