Gpio-PS standalone driver


Introduction

This page gives an overview of gpiops driver which is available as part of the Xilinx Vivado and SDK distribution.
The Xilinx General purpose I/O is a collection of input/output pins available to the software application running on Processing system.

How to enable

Source Path for the driver can be found at
https://github.com/Xilinx/embeddedsw/tree/master/XilinxProcessorIPLib/drivers/gpiops

Driver source code is organized into different folders. Below diagram shows the gpiops driver source organization

Features Supported in the driver

Controller Features

ZYNQMP

  • 78 GPIO signals for device pins.
    • Routed through the MIO multiplexer.
    • Outputs are 3-state capable.
  • 288 GPIO signals between the PS and PL through the EMIO interface.
    • 96 inputs.
    • 192 outputs (96 true outputs and 96 output enables).
  • I/O interface is organized into 6 banks(3 MIO and 3 EMIO)
  • Interface control registers are grouped by bank {0:5}.
  • Input values are read using the six DATA_RO_x registers.
  • The function of each GPIO can be dynamically programmed on an individual or group basis.
  • Enable, bit or bank data write, output enable and direction controls.
  • Programmable interrupts on individual GPIO basis.
    • Status read of raw and masked interrupt.
    • Selectable sensitivity: Level-sensitive (High or Low) or edge-sensitive (positive, negative, or both).

Driver Features

The Gpiops Standalone driver support the below things.
  • All controller features supported.

Known Issues and Limitations

  • None

Test cases

  • Refer below path for testing different examples for each feature of the IP.
https://github.com/Xilinx/embeddedsw/tree/master/XilinxProcessorIPLib/drivers/gpiops/examples
  • xgpiops_intr_example.c : This example shows the usage of the driver in interrupt mode. It uses the interrupt capability of the GPIO to detect push button events and set the output LED based on the input.
  • xgpiops_polled_example.c : This example provides the usage of API's for reading/writing to the indiviual pins.
