Both LED's

[GarageDirt]

The MIMXRT1176 evk has two user LED's.  One on GPIO_AD_04 (green) and one on GPIO_AD_26(red). Is it possible to make both blink at the same time?    The reason I want to do this is because I just want to find out how to make multiple pins work not just one as shown in evkmimxrt1170_igpio_led_output_cm7.  Once I find this out, hopefully I can apply the knowledge to other (non-led) pins.  NXP documentation is pretty much useless in this area.

Hi @GarageDirt 

  Check my attached mcuxpresso project, I already help you add the RED led: D34.

  I have tested it on my side, both yellow and red led is blinking.

  Code:

1. pinmux.c void BOARD_InitPins(void) {

IOMUXC_SetPinMux(
IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_26_GPIO9_IO25, /* GPIO_AD_04 is configured as GPIO9_IO03 */
0U); /* Software Input On Field: Input Path is determined by functionality */

2. main

gpio_pin_config_t led_config1 = {kGPIO_DigitalOutput, 1, kGPIO_NoIntmode};

GPIO_PinInit(GPIO9, 25U, &led_config1);

GPIO_PortToggle(GPIO9, 1<<25U);

Wish it helps you!

Best Regards,

Yes, you can.

There are (at least) 2 ways of doing this.

(1), You could use the SDK functions and copy/adapt them to your needs. This should be pretty straightforward as you already have example code working.

(2), You can write directly to the GPIO registers, which is what I tend to do. For example, see below for an example using GPIO4 bit 12

To set the pin state to logic high : GPIO4->DR |= (1UL << 12)

To set the pin state to logic low : GPIO4->DR &= ~(1UL << 12)

To toggle the pin state : GPIO4->DR_TOGGLE |= (1UL << 12)

Obviously, you need to have correctly set the pins up beforehand for this to work as expected. (select GPIO function for the pin, and set the GPIO pin direction to output)

Hi Nick,

I can see that you are not on the nxp staff and may not have the time to answer this, but I am writing this in hopes that you can. 

In your response to my question about both LEDs turning on, you suggested I adapt the SDK function to accomplish the task.  Well, I tried that by taking the original code that works and adding lines of code that I think should be there for the red led. The original code works just fine.  The seven lines of code that I added are commented out using the form of "  //*****  " ahead of the line of non-functional code so that they are more easily spotted.  Additionally, I added  information to the ConfigTools (pins) for the red led as:

L14   GPIO_AD_26  , etc..

My question is...  can you take a quick look at my seven lines of added code and tell me where I am going astray?  I would  really appreciate any help you can offer.
