Unexpected output using FIOSET and FIOCLR

perdrix — Sat, 05 Aug 2023 10:10:57 GMT

I have the following code:

This is the output I get using a logic analyser attached to the port pins

I never asked for P0.23 and P0.26 to go low so why did they do so?

Puzzled, David

Anyone?

Hi,

Can you tell us the part number you are using?

BTW, if you write the GPIO output data register directly instead of writing the FIOSET and FIOCLR register, what is the result?

I'm using an LPC1768

>if you write the GPIO output data register directly

Do you mean using FIOPIN?

Hi,

LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR = ((1<<2) | (1<<3) | (1<<24) | (1<<25));

If you write the it with

LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR = 0x0300000C;

Is it okay?

If it is not, pls try to write the PIOPIN register.

BTW, pls try to write the mask register as zero before you write the FIOCLR

I already checked the assembler code and value appears to be set correctly:

0x00000550 210C MOVS r1,#0x0C 0x00000552 F2C03100 MOVT r1,#0x300 133: LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR = ((1<<2) | (1<<3) | (1<<24) | (1<<25)); // Set PGC and PGD pins low 0x00000556 61E1 STR r1,[r4,#0x1C]

Hi,

If you toggle the GPIO in a forever loop and check if

for(;;) { LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR = ((1<<2) | (1<<3) | (1<<24) | (1<<25)); // Set PGC and PGD pins low LPC_GPIO0->FIOSET = ((1<<2) | (1<<3) | (1<<23) | (1<<24)|(1<<25) | (1<<26)); // Set MCLR pins high } then check if the P0.23 and P0.26 pins toggle or not. The second test is to write the FIOPIN register directly. Hope it can help you. BR XiangJun rong

Hmmm that produces the following output:

So P0.23 and P0.26 don't toggle - its almost as if the setting of the pins to output has forced them low and after that all behaves as expected...

Removing the FIOSET and FIOCLR settings does in fact show that they are forced low when they are set to output mode.

Is there any way that can be controlled by a user program or is that fixed behaviour?

Thanks, David

Hi,

Good news, the GPIO pins toggle as you expected.

After you write the GPIO direction register, for the first execution of the following instruction

LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR = ((1<<2) | (1<<3) | (1<<24) | (1<<25));

It appears that all the port pins which are configured as GPIO output will response with the default FIOPIN register value, which leads to the problem.

If you do want to get deterministic pin logic, pls write the FIOPIN register value before you configure the GPIO direction register.

Hope it can help you
