Introduction

This page gives an overview of AXI-Gpio driver which is available as part of the Xilinx Vivado and SDK distribution.

The Xilinx® LogiCORE™ IP AXI General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) core provides a general purpose input/output interface to the AXI interface.
This 32-bit soft Intellectual Property (IP) core is designed to interface with the AXI4-Lite interface.The AXI GPIO design provides a general purpose
input/output interface to an AXI4-Lite interface. The AXI GPIO can be configured as either a single or a dual-channel device.
The width of each channel is independently configurable.
