1 Introduction

This document describes the LTE-EC71X GPIO interface APIs, which are declared in the liot_gpio2.h file.

For pin-to-GPIO function mapping, please refer to “Lierda NT26F6B0_NT26F6D0 Series OpenCPU Pin Multiplexing Table” and “Lierda K2B&K2F Series OpenCPU Pin Multiplexing Table”.

2 Core Concepts

To facilitate understanding of the subsequent APIs, the concepts of regular GPIO, AGPIO, WAKEUP, and power domains are explained below.

Type	Output Support	Input/Interrupt Support	Level Retention During Sleep	Description
Regular GPIO	Yes	Yes	No	Powered by the regular IO power domain. After system startup, the power domain is automatically powered on; during sleep, the corresponding power domain will be powered off.
AGPIO	Yes	Yes	Yes	Belongs to the AON (Always On) power domain. After system startup, software control is required to enable it. Suitable for maintaining output in low-power mode.
WAKEUP Pad	WAKEUP 0-2 cannot output; WAKEUP 3-5 can be multiplexed as GPIO for output	WAKEUP 0-2 can only serve as interrupt pins; WAKEUP 3-5 support interrupts and can be multiplexed as GPIO for input	N/A	Primarily used as interrupt pins, supporting low-power wakeup.

Sleep/Wakeup Configuration Notes:

Regular GPIO may lose its configuration state during sleep due to power domain shutdown. It is recommended to reinitialize after wakeup based on business requirements;
AGPIO is suitable for maintaining output levels during sleep, but ensure the AON power domain is enabled before use;
WAKEUP pins are used for low-power wakeup. Their configuration differs from regular GPIO and should be initialized using dedicated interfaces;
Besides WAKEUP Pads, on some platforms/scenarios PWRKEY can also serve as a wakeup source (hardware wakeup), which is not within the liot_wakeuppad_e enumeration scope of this document;
For deep sleep or platform reset wakeup scenarios, it is recommended to re-execute GPIO/pin multiplexing configurations during the system startup process.

5 API Function Details

5.1 Liot_GpioInit

GPIO initialization. Before calling Liot_GpioInit(), ensure the target pin is configured as GPIO function. If the pin is currently in another multiplexing function, call Liot_SetPinFunc() first to switch the multiplexing.

Declaration:

liot_gpioerr_e Liot_GpioInit(liot_gpio_e gpio, liot_gpiodir_e mode, liot_gpiolvl_e level, liot_intcb_t* intcb);

Parameters:

gpio: [In] GPIO port (not the module pin number; refer to the multiplexing table for the GPIO number corresponding to the module pin).
mode: [In] GPIO input/output mode.
level: [In] GPIO default configuration value.
- When mode is L_IO_OUTPUT, represents the default output level;
- When mode is L_IO_INPUT, represents the input configuration: L_IO_LOW for pull-down input, L_IO_HIGH for pull-up input, L_IO_NONE for floating input.
intcb: [In] GPIO interrupt configuration parameters, see liot_intcb_t.
- When the GPIO is used only as regular input/output without interrupt functionality, pass NULL;
- When GPIO interrupt configuration is needed, pass a valid interrupt configuration structure.

Return value:

Error code, see liot_gpioerr_e.
