Parameters

pin – [in] Pin that triggered this event.
action – [in] Action that led to triggering this event.

Functions

nrfx_err_t nrfx_gpiote_init(uint8_t interrupt_priority)¶

Function for initializing the GPIOTE module.

Parameters

interrupt_priority – [in] Interrupt priority.

Returns NRFX_SUCCESS

Initialization was successful.

Returns NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_STATE

The driver was already initialized.

bool nrfx_gpiote_is_init(void)¶

Function for checking if the GPIOTE module is initialized.

The GPIOTE module is a shared module. Therefore, check if the module is already initialized and skip initialization if it is.

Returns true: The module is already initialized.
Returns false: The module is not initialized.

void nrfx_gpiote_uninit(void)¶: Function for uninitializing the GPIOTE module.

nrfx_err_t nrfx_gpiote_channel_alloc(uint8_t *p_channel)¶

Function for allocating a GPIOTE channel.

This function allocates the first unused GPIOTE channel from pool defined in NRFX_GPIOTE_APP_CHANNELS_MASK.

Note

To ensure the thread safety of the operation, this function uses the NRFX_CRITICAL_SECTION_ENTER and NRFX_CRITICAL_SECTION_EXIT macros. No further synchronization mechanism is needed, provided the macros are properly implemented (see nrfx_glue.h).

Note

Routines that allocate and free the GPIOTE channels are independent from the rest of the driver. In particular, the driver does not need to be initialized when this function is called.

Parameters

p_channel – [out] Pointer to the GPIOTE channel that has been allocated.

Returns NRFX_SUCCESS

The channel was successfully allocated.

Returns NRFX_ERROR_NO_MEM

There is no available channel to be used.

Function for freeing a GPIOTE channel.

This function frees a GPIOTE channel that was allocated using nrfx_gpiote_channel_alloc.

Note

To ensure the thread safety of the operation, this function uses the NRFX_CRITICAL_SECTION_ENTER and NRFX_CRITICAL_SECTION_EXIT macros. No further synchronization mechanism is needed, provided the macros are properly implemented (see nrfx_glue.h).

Note

Routines that allocate and free the GPIOTE channels are independent from the rest of the driver. In particular, the driver does not need to be initialized when this function is called.

Parameters

channel – [in] GPIOTE channel to be freed.

Returns NRFX_SUCCESS

The channel was successfully freed.

Function for initializing a GPIOTE input pin.

The input pin can act in two ways:

lower accuracy but low power (high frequency clock not needed)
higher accuracy (high frequency clock required)

The initial configuration specifies which mode is used. If high-accuracy mode is used, the driver attempts to allocate one of the available GPIOTE channels. If no channel is available, an error is returned. In low accuracy mode SENSE feature is used. In this case, only one active pin can be detected at a time. It can be worked around by setting all of the used low accuracy pins to toggle mode. For more information about SENSE functionality, refer to Product Specification.

Parameters

pin – [in] Pin.
p_config – [in] Initial configuration.
evt_handler – [in] User function to be called when the configured transition occurs.

Returns NRFX_SUCCESS

Initialization was successful.

Returns NRFX_ERROR_BUSY
