Hi, I have a device driver which monitors the programmable flags for interrupts. The 4 push buttons, pf5/6/7/8 all work as expected.

However, I would like to mimic a 'button press' on for example pf18 from my bare metal app running on core b. Eventually we will have actual buttons driving the pfs, but for now I just want to set the state manually.

I have tried the following:

*pFIO1_DIR = 0x0000;

*pFIO1_POLAR = 0x0000;

*pFIO1_INEN = 0xffff;

*pFIO1_FLAG_D = (1 << 2);

in my bare metal app, but the device driver running on core a doesn't recognise it.

Thanks in advance for any help,

John Redford.

Sorry I was making a silly mistake - I have sorted out he problem now.

*pFIO_DIR = 0xffff; (needed to set the flags to outputs in order to generate software interrupts!)

Cheers.

Actually that was not the solution - it does trigger interrupts, but incorrectly and they dont stop :/ I guess I shouldn't be using the *pFIO1_POLAR register when pfs are configured as outputs.

Please can someone shed some light on the initial problem that I stated?

Cheers,

John Redford.

where in the HRM do you see it saying that you can trigger a GPIO interrupt via software means only ?  i dont see it anywhere.

You're right it does not say that is possible. I think I was jumping to conclusions yet again. I will wait until we have the final board with the extra push buttons and cross that bridge then.

Thanks for the reply.
