Introduction
============
**General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)** is a generic pin on a chip whose behavior (including whether it is an input or output pin) can be controlled (programmed) by the user at run time.
通常我們program使用的data都是放在memory比較多，而GPIO也提供類似的操作方法給programmer(讓我們去更改記憶體內容就可以去控制pin，並影響周遭設備的運行)，但真正的設備的位置並非真正落在記憶體上(如:LED、Button、...等)，故GPIO的核心是記憶體操作與設備之間的一些電路特性。
Main Feature
============
GPIO雖然建立起記憶體與設備之間的橋梁，但也並非我們就可以隨意使用，我們必須要經過設定之後才能讓我們想要的設備正常工作。
一個pin一次只能被設定成是input或output，而input會有三種狀態表現(floating, pull-up/down, analog)，而output只有兩種狀態表現(push-pull or open drain + pull-up/down)。
- input/output方向解說 : input是指記憶體方接收來自設備的訊號源，output是指記憶體傳送訊號給設備。
當pin被設定成input時，非analog的設定下，我們可以利用GPIO的input data register(GPIOx_IDR) 或是memory中提供給目標設備的data register (當設成alternate function的時候)去接收data。
當pin被設定成output時，非analog的設定下，GPIO本身有提供output data register (GPIOx_ODR)來對目標設備做控制，但要是pin不是使用原本預先定義好的功能時(非預先定義的功能都算是alternate function的類別)，此時要用memory中，另外規劃給目標設備用的register。
如果pin被設成analog的話，無論input or output都會由adc那邊做處理。
Functional Description
======================
input floating vs. input pull-up/pull-down
input
-------------------
- floating vs. pull-up/pull-down
當input pin被處在高阻抗的模式下，若沒有外部訊號源進來的話，此時是無法確定pin的狀態(不能確定現在處在高電位或低電位)，除非有外部訊號來驅動電路。換句話說，input floating，這個input電位狀態完全是由外部訊號來決定，沒有訊號驅動的話，就會呈現高阻抗狀態。
剛剛提到floating在沒有外部訊號驅動的情況下是呈現高阻抗狀態(無法確定電位狀態=>不能明確表示現在值是0或1)，如果我們需要這個pin有一個明確的預設狀態時，必須借助pull-up(pull-down)resistor來做調整，在pull-up resistor(pull-up外接高電壓，pull-down通常會接地)加入之下，讓pin的維持在明確的高電壓狀態(pull-down則是讓pin維持在低電壓狀態)。舉例來說，如果我們定電壓在3-4 V之間是1的狀態，0-1之間是0的狀態，高阻抗的時候，電壓是不明確的，有可能電壓值會落在1-3之間的不明確地帶，甚至是沒有在任何一個狀態維持一段時間，此時的狀態是未定的，但如果我們加入pull-up resistor的話，這個pin接受來自pull-up另一端的電壓供應，讓pin至少維持在3v以上時，我們就可以蠻確定在沒有外部訊號驅動時，pin是維持在高電位狀態。

output
-------------------
- push-pull vs. open-drain with pull-up/pull-down
Each I/O port bit is freely programmable, however the I/O port registers have to be accessed
as 32-bit words, half-words or bytes. The purpose of the GPIOx_BSRR register is to allow
atomic read/modify accesses to any of the GPIO registers. In this way, there is no risk of an
IRQ occurring between the read and the modify access.

Configuration
=============
Input configuration
-------------------
When the I/O port is programmed as Input:
- the output buffer is disabled
- the Schmitt trigger input is activated
- the pull-up and pull-down resistors are activated depending on the value in the GPIOx_PUPDR register
- The data present on the I/O pin are sampled into the input data register every AHB1 clock cycle
- A read access to the input data register provides the I/O State
Output configuration
--------------------
When the I/O port is programmed as output:
- The output buffer is enabled:
- Open drain mode: A “0” in the Output register activates the N-MOS whereas a “1” in the Output register leaves the port in Hi-Z (the P-MOS is never activated)
- Push-pull mode: A “0” in the Output register activates the N-MOS whereas a “1” in the Output register activates the P-MOS
- The Schmitt trigger input is activated
- The weak pull-up and pull-down resistors are activated or not depending on the value in the GPIOx_PUPDR register
- The data present on the I/O pin are sampled into the input data register every AHB1 clock cycle
- A read access to the input data register gets the I/O state
- A read access to the output data register gets the last written value
Alternate function configuration
--------------------------------
When the I/O port is programmed as alternate function:
- The output buffer can be configured as open-drain or push-pull
- The output buffer is driven by the signal coming from the peripheral (transmitter enable and data)
- The Schmitt trigger input is activated
- The weak pull-up and pull-down resistors are activated or not depending on the value in the GPIOx_PUPDR register
- The data present on the I/O pin are sampled into the input data register every AHB1 clock cycle
- A read access to the input data register gets the I/O state
Supplement：
GPIOx_AFRL[31:0] and GPIOx_ARHL[31:0] provide ways to select alternation functions. However, different alternate functions maps to different bits of ports. Table below is part of alternate function mapping, which is mainly about USART2/3.
For more information, please refer to **Table 8. Alternate function mapping** from P.58-62 in STM32F407xx Datasheet.

Analog configuration
--------------------
When the I/O port is programmed as analog configuration:
- The output buffer is disabled
- The Schmitt trigger input is deactivated, providing zero consumption for every analog value of the I/O pin. The output of the Schmitt trigger is forced to a constant value (0).
- The weak pull-up and pull-down resistors are disabled
- Read access to the input data register gets the value “0”
Note: In the analog configuration, the I/O pins cannot be 5 Volt tolerant.
