Module Overview

The device GPIO (PORT) module provides an interface between the user application logic and external hardware peripherals, when general pin state manipulation is required. This driver provides an easy-to-use interface to the physical pin input samplers and output drivers, so that pins can be read from or written to for general purpose external hardware control.

Driver Feature Macro Definition

Driver Feature Macro	Supported devices
FEATURE_PORT_INPUT_EVENT	SAM L21/L22/C20/C21/R30/R34/R35

Note: The specific features are only available in the driver when the selected device supports those features.

Physical and Logical GPIO Pins

SAM devices use two naming conventions for the I/O pins in the device; one physical and one logical. Each physical pin on a device package is assigned both a physical port and pin identifier (e.g. "PORTA.0") as well as a monotonically incrementing logical GPIO number (e.g. "GPIO0"). While the former is used to map physical pins to their physical internal device module counterparts, for simplicity the design of this driver uses the logical GPIO numbers instead.

Physical Connection

The diagram below shows how this module is interconnected within the device.

Special Considerations

The SAM port pin input sampler can be disabled when the pin is configured in pure output mode to save power; reading the pin state of a pin configured in output-only mode will read the logical output state that was last set.
