4.1.3 GPIO Register Definitions
There are twenty-seven 32-bit registers within the GPIO control block. There are nine distinct
register functions and there are three sets of each of the nine registers to serve the 81 GPIOs. The
various functions of the nine registers corresponding to each GPIO pin are described here:
• Three monitor pin state (GPLR)
• Six control output pin state (GPSR, GPCR)
• Three control pin direction (GPDR)
• Six control whether rising edges and/or falling edges are detected (GRER & GFER)
• Three indicate when specified edge types have been detected on pins (GEDR).
• Six determine whether a pin is used as a normal GPIO or whether it is to be taken over by one
of three possible alternate functions (GAFR_L, GAFR_U).
