Bug: Pin expert does not set GPIO output mode (PDDR is not set)

davenadler — Tue, 15 Nov 2016 23:08:46 GMT

Kinetis Expert Version 2.0, PC version, starting with Freedom K64F board configuration.
I'm using the PC version as the online "server is temporarily unavailable".

I specified a number of GPIO with Direction=Output.

The generated code does not set PDDR and leaves the pins in input mode.

What's going on? Should we not use this tool?

Thanks,

Best Regards, Dave

Hi,

Pins tools does generate code for the GPIO peripheral, so direction is not written to registers. There is a macro provided with selected value (the macro is available only if identifier is assigned to the routed pin).

There is plan to provide Peripherals tool, where all peripherals (including GPIO) will be configurable.
