GPIO WDT Programming This chapter provides WDT (Watch Dog Timer), GPIO (General Purpose Input/ Output) and LVDS Backlight programming guide. Abstract In this section, code examples based on C programming language provided for customer interest. Inportb, Outportb, Inportl and Outportl are basic functions used for access IO ports and defined as following.
General Purpose IO 1. General Purposed IO – GPIO/DIO The GPIO port configuration addresses are listed in the following table: Name IO Port IO address Name IO Port IO address N_GPI0 0xA02 Bit 7 N_GPO0 0xA02 Bit 3 N_GPI1 0xA02 Bit 6 N_GPO1 0xA02...
Watchdog Timer 2. Watchdog Timer – WDT The base address (WDT_BASE) of WDT configuration registers is 0xA10. Set WDT Time Unit val = Inportb (WDT_BASE + 0x05); // Read current WDT setting val = val | 0x08; // minute mode. val = val & 0xF7 if second mode Outportb (WDT_BASE + 0x05, val);...
