Digital I/O Driver Specification

The Digital I/O (DIO) driver encapsulates all available digital I/O lines (except those exposed by the ADSmartIO library) in a single stream driver interface, DIO1:. Each I/O line is represented as one bit in a 32-bit DIO register. Read and write this register using the standard ReadFile and WriteFile functions.

I/O Control codes provide additional functionality such as setting the line direction (i.e. input or output), masking individual lines, enabling wakeup from digital IO lines and generating interrupts.



Revision History

The following list summarizes the changes in the driver specification. See the spec for full details.
1.2 (31-Jan-2006) PDF 317kB
- Added the ability to alter priority of the interrupt-monitoring threads

1.1 (3-Jan-2006)
- Added the ability to change interrupt events to call SetEvent instead of PulseEvent.

1.0 (15-Nov-2004)
Included with VGX build 4.20.21, GCX build 4.20.04
- Initial release.

Availability of Interrupts

CE 4.2 has fewer interrupts available than 5.0. We recently observed a BitsyX CE 4.2 system that ran out of hardware interrupts when using the DIO driver interrupt feature. In that instance, we found that disabling the drivers for COM4: through COM7: freed up interrupts that had been allocated to the unused quad UART driver.

If your CE 4.2 platform runs out of interrupts, you may need to similarly disable some device drivers that generate interrupts. Contact us if you need help doing this for your application.

Addendum:

Newer Sphere II CE Images allow support configuring GPIO's on Ports C and D as matrix keypads or Digital I/O's via a registry key.

See topic 2272 for more information.
