The EVK1101 provides two push buttons to design Human to Machine Interface for software developments.
Pinout
The push buttons inputs are low level active1. The pinout is as follows:
| Push Button | GPIO Name | Alternate function used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | PB 2 | EIC/EXTINT 6 |
| 2 | PB 3 | EIC/EXTINT 7 |
Using Interrupts
In order to use a push button, two ways are available:
-
Polling on the GPIO Port Value Register
-
Using GPIO interrupts to get state changes
Using GPIO interrupt needs to:
-
Register an interrupt handler for the input
-
Set the GPIO control bit for the input
-
Set the GPIO glitch filter bit for the input
-
Configure the GPIO interrupt mask bit for the input to act either on rising edge, falling edge or input change
-
Set the GPIO interrupt enable bit for the input
