INTRODUCTION
The General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins are used for control and handshake 
functions between the DSP and external circuitry. The GPIO port has eight I/O pins 
(GPIO0–GPIO7) that are controlled through a memory-mapped register. Each GPIO 
pin may be individually programmed as an output or as an input.
7.2
GPIO PROGRAMMING MODEL
The GPIO pins are controlled through the GPIO control/data Register (GPIOR), 
which is illustrated in 
paragraphs.
7.3
GPIO REGISTER (GPIOR)
The GPIO Register (GPIOR) is a 24-bit read/write control/data register used to 
operate and configure the GPIO pins. The control bits in the GPIOR select the 
direction of data transfer for each pin, whereas the data bits in the GPIOR are used to 
read from or write to the GPIO pins. Hardware reset and software reset clear all the 
bits in GPIOR. The GPIOR bits are described in the following paragraphs.
