2.15 GPIO access
The LX2160A processor has no dedicated general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins.
Instead, GPIO functions are multiplexed internally onto other signals, which must be
disabled before using the GPIO functions. For the LX2160ARDB, GPIO access is
provided through the IRQ pins IRQ[0:11] and EVT pins EVT[0:4] but only when those
pins are not used for IRQ or other purposes. The following figure shows the GPIO access
header.

Figure 2-25. GPIO interface
By programming the RCW “IRQ_EXT” field properly, an unused IRQ pin can be
reassigned to GPIO purposes. Event signals from EVT pins EVT[0:4] flow through a 5-
pin GPIO header.
The table below shows the GPIO mapping in the LX2160ARDB.
