Hi @sanjana291 ,
Thank you so much for your interest in our products and for using our community.
Regarding your question "Which IRQ number/handler should I use for GPIO9 in the i.MX RT1170? " and "If GPIO9 does not have its own IRQ, is it combined with another port's IRQ?"
In RT1170 chip, GPIO9 can use interrupt number 99.

Wish it helps you.
If you still have question about it, please kindly let me know.
Wish you a nice day!
Best Regards
MayLiu
