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.
For more information, please refer Chapter 27: Real Time Clock in Zynqmp Trm which includes links to the official documentation and resource utilization.

Driver Sources

The source code for the driver is included with the Vitis Unified Software Platform installation, as well as being available in the Xilinx Github repository.

Features

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).

Test Name	Example source	Description
Polled	xgpiops_polled_example.c	This example provides the usage of API's for reading/writing to the individual pins.
Interrupt	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.
