Registers

There are four control and status registers, each which is 2 bytes.

  • Input (0xb8000060) - If a GPIO pin is set for output, its input bit is automatically set to 0.
  • Output (0xb8000064) - If a GPIO pin is set for input, its output bit is automatically set to 0.
  • Enable (0xb8000068) - Determines if a GPIO pin is used for input or output. A bit value of 0 is input and 1 is output.
  • Control (0xb800006c) - Usage is currently unknown.

LEDs

Research Notes:

  • An LED is enabled by setting its enable bit to 1.
  • When an LED is enabled, its input bit becomes 0.
  • Once an LED is enabled, if its output bit is 0, the LED is on and if its output bit is 1, the LED is off.
