GPIO 20 and 21 not working

[markus.vocore]

Hello everybody,

I just started working with VoCore2 and I really like it. I would like to use GPIO 19, 20, 21 and GPIO 39, 40 and 41 as Output. Most of the mentioned GPIOs are working fine, but not GPIO 20 (Output is always high, +3,3V) and not GPIO 21 (Output is always +0.5V).

I tried different VoCore2 because my first guess was that the GPIOs are defect. But it's always the same behavior.

What am I doing wrong? I guess the GPIOs are still configured as PWM Output, am I right? Please find the test script and and the terminal output below.

Many thanks in advance and kind regards,
Markus

Please check mt7628 datasheet, if you want to use GPIO first make sure its pinmux switch to GPIO(or they will be use as other function such as i2c i2s, spi etc...), then you can export and use it.

Dear Vonger,

You are right, it was because of the default configuration of the multipurpose I/O.

For everybody struggling with the same issue, see MT7628 datasheet. The I/O pins P2TP (MDI_TP_P2) and P2TN (MDI_TN_P2) can be configured with the following I/O functions:
- MDI_TP_P2: UART2 (TxD), GPIO20, PWM (CH2), SD-Card D5
- MDI_TN_P2: UART2 (RxD), GPIO21, PWM (CH3), SD-Card D4

By default, the pins are set as UART2. To use GPIO20 and GPIO21, the GPIO1_MODE (address 0x10000060) must be set as following:
- Bits 27/26: 0x01 (GPIO)
- Bits 11:10: 0x01 (GPIO)

In my case, the default value of Register GPIO1_MODE was set to 0x5015040E (command "mem 0x10000060) and I had to set it to 0x5415040E (command "mem 0x10000060 0x5415040E").

Best regards,
Markus

Hello markus.vocore,

Could you please explain the way of enabling gpio 20 & 21 again?
I didn't understand well as there is no command called "mem 0x10000060 0x5415040E" to write in registers.

Thank you in advance,
