Descriptions

GPIO

GPIO pins

Only GPIO2 and GPIO3 pins have their interrupts configurable. Active low pins should be configured as "falling edge", and output ports shouldn't have interrupts enabled at all.

GPIO Services bitmasks use this table, in that order:

Bit IRQ ID Description
0 ? Debug button (?) (active-low)
1 0x63 (falling edge) Touch Screen (active low, 0 = screen pressed)
2 0x60 (falling edge)

0x62 (rising edge)

Shell closed
0 0x64 Headphones inserted
1 0x66 TWL depop circuit (?) (active-low)
DATA2.0 - GPIO2_DATA2_0 (wifi related?)
0 0x68 C-stick interrupt
1 0x69 IrDA interrupt (active-low)
2 0x6A Gyro interrupt
3 0x6B C-stick "stop" (output)
4 0x6C IrDA TX-RC (output)
5 0x6D IrDA RXD (active-low)
6 0x6E NFC output1 (?)
7 0x6F NFC output2 (?)
8 0x70 Headphones button/half-inserted (active-low)
9 0x71 MCU interrupt
10 0x72 NFC interrupt (?)
11 0x73 QTM output (?)
DATA2.0 - GPIO3_DATA2_0 (wifi related?)

GPIOn_DATA

Pin values, one bit per pin.

GPIOn_DIR

Pin directions for GPIO2 and GPIO3, one bit per pin.

Value Description
0 Input
1 Output

GPIOn_INTCFG

Interrupt configuration for GPIO2 and GPIO3 pins (not the extra ones), one bit per pin.

Value Description
0 Falling edge
1 Rising edge

GPIOn_INTEN

Interrupt enable bits for GPIO2 and GPIO3 pins (not the extra ones), one bit per pin.

Value Description
0 Interrupt disabled
1 Interrupt enabled

GPIOn_DATA2

Extra pins for GPIO2 and GPIO3 (one bit each). These two pins, in total, are not bound to any IRQ and are not configurable.

Default values

After bootrom initialization, these are the values of the registers:

Address Value
0x10147000 0x0003
0x10147010 0x00000002
0x10147014 0x0000
0x10147020 0x00000DFB
0x10147024 0x00000000
0x10147028 0x0000
