    6.3 API List and Descriptions GPIO 1. Syntax: i32 getInChLevel( i32 channel, u8 *val ) Description: Get the value of GPIO Input and put the value at *val. Parameters: The parameter ‘channel’ indicates the GPIO Input pins to show. Users can use the macros GPI0, GPI1, GPI2, GPI3 to indicate the GPIO Input channel.
  • Page 54 Parameters: The parameter ‘channel’ indicates the GPIO Output pins to set. Users can use the macros GPO0, GPO1, GPO2, GPO3 to indicate the GPIO Output channels. The parameter ‘val’ indicate the value to be set to GPIO Output channel. The acceptable values are limited to 0 and 1. For example: /* Setting the GPIO Output channel 2 to 1 */ setOutChLevel( GPO2, 1 );...
  • Page 55 Here is an example: If GPIO Output channel 0 and channel 2 are both 1. unsigned char ch; getOutChLevel( GPO0|GPO2, &ch ); The returned value of variable ‘ch’ is 0x5. Return Value: If the function gets the values successfully, it returns 0. If any error, it returns –1.
