See Section 7.4.5: GPIO port input data register (GPIOx_IDR) (x = A to F) and
Section 7.4.6: GPIO port output data register (GPIOx_ODR) (x = A to F) for the register
descriptions.
7.3.5 I/O data bitwise handling
The bit set reset register (GPIOx_BSRR) is a 32-bit register which allows the application to
set and reset each individual bit in the output data register (GPIOx_ODR). The bit set reset
register has twice the size of GPIOx_ODR.
To each bit in GPIOx_ODR, correspond two control bits in GPIOx_BSRR: BS(i) and BR(i).
When written to 1, bit BS(i) sets the corresponding ODR(i) bit. When written to 1, bit BR(i)
resets the ODR(i) corresponding bit.
Writing any bit to 0 in GPIOx_BSRR does not have any effect on the corresponding bit in
GPIOx_ODR. If there is an attempt to both set and reset a bit in GPIOx_BSRR, the set
action takes priority.
Using the GPIOx_BSRR register to change the values of individual bits in GPIOx_ODR is a
“one-shot” effect that does not lock the GPIOx_ODR bits. The GPIOx_ODR bits can always
be accessed directly. The GPIOx_BSRR register provides a way of performing atomic
bitwise handling.
There is no need for the software to disable interrupts when programming the GPIOx_ODR
at bit level: it is possible to modify one or more bits in a single atomic AHB write access.
7.3.6 GPIO locking mechanism
It is possible to freeze the GPIO control registers by applying a specific write sequence to
the GPIOx_LCKR register. The frozen registers are GPIOx_MODER, GPIOx_OTYPER,
GPIOx_OSPEEDR, GPIOx_PUPDR, GPIOx_AFRL and GPIOx_AFRH.
To write the GPIOx_LCKR register, a specific write / read sequence has to be applied. When
the right LOCK sequence is applied to bit 16 in this register, the value of LCKR[15:0] is used
to lock the configuration of the I/Os (during the write sequence the LCKR[15:0] value must
be the same). When the LOCK sequence has been applied to a port bit, the value of the port
bit can no longer be modified until the next MCU reset or peripheral reset. Each
GPIOx_LCKR bit freezes the corresponding bit in the control registers (GPIOx_MODER,
GPIOx_OTYPER, GPIOx_OSPEEDR, GPIOx_PUPDR, GPIOx_AFRL and GPIOx_AFRH.
The LOCK sequence (refer to Section 7.4.8: GPIO port configuration lock register
(GPIOx_LCKR) (x = A to F)) can only be performed using a word (32-bit long) access to the
GPIOx_LCKR register due to the fact that GPIOx_LCKR bit 16 has to be set at the same
time as the [15:0] bits.
For more details refer to LCKR register description in Section 7.4.8: GPIO port configuration
lock register (GPIOx_LCKR) (x = A to F).
7.3.7 I/O alternate function input/output
Two registers are provided to select one of the alternate function inputs/outputs available for
each I/O. With these registers, the user can connect an alternate function to some other pin
as required by the application.
This means that a number of possible peripheral functions are multiplexed on each GPIO
using the GPIOx_AFRL and GPIOx_AFRH alternate function registers. The application can
