Architectural Overview
If their native functions are not used, a number of the SoC signal pins can be 
programmed to be used as Customer General-Purpose IO pins. Typically this 
programming is performed by the BIOS. The software uses a number of GPIO 
configuration registers to make this choice.
Each Customer GPIO port is implemented as dual-read/write registers with its own 
dedicated storage. From the CPU standpoint, a write value is stored in the write 
register, while the read value comes from the GPIO read register.
