# GPIO & RTC GPIO

[中文]

## GPIO Summary

The ESP32 chip features 34 physical GPIO pins (GPIO0 ~ GPIO19, GPIO21 ~ GPIO23, GPIO25 ~ GPIO27, and GPIO32 ~ GPIO39). Each pin can be used as a general-purpose I/O, or be connected to an internal peripheral signal. Through IO MUX, RTC IO MUX and the GPIO matrix, peripheral input signals can be from any IO pins, and peripheral output signals can be routed to any IO pins. Together these modules provide highly configurable I/O. For more details, see ESP32 Technical Reference Manual > IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO_MUX) [PDF].

The table below provides more information on pin usage, and please note the comments in the table for GPIOs with restrictions.

Note

- Strapping pin: GPIO0, GPIO2, GPIO5, GPIO12 (MTDI), and GPIO15 (MTDO) are strapping pins. For more information, please refer to ESP32 datasheet.

- SPI0/1: GPIO6-11 and GPIO16-17 are usually connected to the SPI flash and PSRAM integrated on the module and therefore should not be used for other purposes.

- JTAG: GPIO12-15 are usually used for inline debug.

- GPI: GPIO34-39 can only be set as input mode and do not have software-enabled pullup or pulldown functions.

- TXD & RXD are usually used for flashing and debugging.

- ADC2: ADC2 pins cannot be used when Wi-Fi is used. So, if you are having trouble getting the value from an ADC2 GPIO while using Wi-Fi, you may consider using an ADC1 GPIO instead, which should solve your problem. For more details, please refer to Hardware Limitations of ADC Continuous Mode and Hardware Limitations of ADC Oneshot Mode.

- Please do not use the interrupt of GPIO36 and GPIO39 when using ADC or Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with sleep mode enabled. Please refer to ESP32 ECO and Workarounds for Bugs > Section 3.11 for the detailed description of the issue.

There is also separate "RTC GPIO" support, which functions when GPIOs are routed to the "RTC" low-power and analog subsystem. These pin functions can be used when:

- In Deep-sleep mode

- The Ultra Low Power FSM co-processor is running

- Analog functions such as ADC/DAC/etc are in use

## IO Configuration

An IO can be used in two ways:

- As a simple GPIO input to read the level on the pin, or as a simple GPIO output to output the desired level on the pin.

- As a peripheral signal input/output.

IDF peripheral drivers always take care of the necessary IO configurations that need to be applied onto the pins, so that they can be used as the peripheral signal inputs or outputs. This means the users usually only need to be responsible for configuring the IOs as simple inputs or outputs. `gpio_config()` is an all-in-one API that can be used to configure the I/O mode, internal pull-up/pull-down resistors, etc. for pins.

In some applications, an IO pin can serve dual purposes. For example, the IO, which outputs a LEDC PWM signal, can also act as a GPIO input to generate interrupts or GPIO ETM events. Careful handling on the configuration step is necessary for such dual use of IO pins cases. `gpio_config()` is an API that overwrites all the current configurations, so it must be called to set the pin mode to `gpio_mode_t::GPIO_MODE_INPUT` before calling the LEDC driver API which connects the output signal to the pin. As an alternative, if no other configuration is needed other than making the pin input enabled, `gpio_input_enable()` can be the one to call at any time to achieve the same purpose.

## Check Current Configuration of IOs

GPIO driver offers a dump function `gpio_dump_io_configuration()` to show the current configurations of IOs, such as pull-up/pull-down, input/output enable, pin mapping, etc. Below is an example of how to dump the configuration of GPIO4, GPIO18, and GPIO26:

    gpio_dump_io_configuration(stdout, (1ULL << 4) | (1ULL << 18) | (1ULL << 26));

The dump will be like this:

    ================IO DUMP Start================
    IO[4] -
      Pullup: 1, Pulldown: 0, DriveCap: 2
      InputEn: 1, OutputEn: 0, OpenDrain: 0
      FuncSel: 1 (GPIO)
      GPIO Matrix SigIn ID: (simple GPIO input)
      SleepSelEn: 1

    IO[18] -
      Pullup: 0, Pulldown: 0, DriveCap: 2
      InputEn: 0, OutputEn: 1, OpenDrain: 0
      FuncSel: 1 (GPIO)
      GPIO Matrix SigOut ID: 256 (simple GPIO output)
      SleepSelEn: 1

    IO[26] **RESERVED** -
      Pullup: 1, Pulldown: 0, DriveCap: 2
      InputEn: 1, OutputEn: 0, OpenDrain: 0
      FuncSel: 0 (IOMUX)
      SleepSelEn: 1

    =================IO DUMP End==================

In addition, if you would like to dump the configurations of all IOs, you can use:

    gpio_dump_io_configuration(stdout, SOC_GPIO_VALID_GPIO_MASK);

If an IO pin is routed to a peripheral signal through the GPIO matrix, the signal ID printed in the dump information is defined in the soc/esp32/include/soc/gpio_sig_map.h header file. The word `**RESERVED**` indicates the IO is occupied by either SPI flash or PSRAM. It is strongly not recommended to reconfigure them for other application purposes.

Do not rely on the default configurations values in the Technical Reference Manual, because it may be changed in the bootloader or application startup code before app_main.

## Application Example

- peripherals/gpio/generic_gpio demonstrates how to configure GPIO to generate pulses and use it with interruption.

  Parameters:

    - fn -- Interrupt handler function.

esp_err_t gpio_install_isr_service(int intr_alloc_flags)

  Install the GPIO driver's ETS_GPIO_INTR_SOURCE ISR handler service, which allows per-pin GPIO interrupt handlers.

  This function is incompatible with gpio_isr_register() - if that function is used, a single global ISR is registered for all GPIO interrupts. If this function is used, the ISR service provides a global GPIO ISR and individual pin handlers are registered via the gpio_isr_handler_add() function.

  Parameters:

    intr_alloc_flags -- Flags used to allocate the interrupt. One or multiple (ORred) ESP_INTR_FLAG_* values. See esp_intr_alloc.h for more info.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK Success

    - ESP_ERR_NO_MEM No memory to install this service

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE ISR service already installed.

    - ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND No free interrupt found with the specified flags

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG GPIO error

void gpio_uninstall_isr_service(void)

  Uninstall the driver's GPIO ISR service, freeing related resources.

esp_err_t gpio_isr_handler_add(gpio_num_t gpio_num, gpio_isr_t isr_handler, void *args)

  Add ISR handler for the corresponding GPIO pin.

  Call this function after using gpio_install_isr_service() to install the driver's GPIO ISR handler service.

  The pin ISR handlers no longer need to be declared with IRAM_ATTR, unless you pass the ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM flag when allocating the ISR in gpio_install_isr_service().

  This ISR handler will be called from an ISR. So there is a stack size limit (configurable as "ISR stack size" in menuconfig). This limit is smaller compared to a global GPIO interrupt handler due to the additional level of indirection.

  Parameters:

    - gpio_num -- GPIO number

    - isr_handler -- ISR handler function for the corresponding GPIO number.

    - args -- parameter for ISR handler.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK Success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE Wrong state, the ISR service has not been initialized.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t gpio_isr_handler_remove(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

  Remove ISR handler for the corresponding GPIO pin.

  Parameters:

    gpio_num -- GPIO number

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK Success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE Wrong state, the ISR service has not been initialized.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t gpio_set_drive_capability(gpio_num_t gpio_num, gpio_drive_cap_t strength)

  Set GPIO pad drive capability.

  Parameters:

    - gpio_num -- GPIO number, only support output GPIOs

    - strength -- Drive capability of the pad

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK Success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t gpio_get_drive_capability(gpio_num_t gpio_num, gpio_drive_cap_t *strength)

  Get GPIO pad drive capability.

  Parameters:

    - gpio_num -- GPIO number, only support output GPIOs

    - strength -- Pointer to accept drive capability of the pad

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK Success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t gpio_hold_en(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

  Enable gpio pad hold function.

  When a GPIO is set to hold, its state is latched at that moment and will not change when the internal signal or the IO MUX/GPIO configuration is modified (including input enable, output enable, output value, function, and drive strength values). This function can be used to retain the state of GPIOs when the power domain of where GPIO/IOMUX belongs to becomes off. For example, chip or system is reset (e.g. watchdog time-out, deep-sleep events are triggered), or peripheral power-down in light-sleep.

  This function works in both input and output modes, and only applicable to output-capable GPIOs. If this function is enabled: in output mode: the output level of the GPIO will be locked and can not be changed. in input mode: the input read value can still reflect the changes of the input signal.

  Please be aware that,

  On ESP32P4, the states of IOs can not be hold after waking up from Deep-sleep.

  Additionally, on ESP32/S2/C3/S3/C2, this function cannot be used to hold the state of a digital GPIO during Deep-sleep. Even if this function is enabled, the digital GPIO will be reset to its default state when the chip wakes up from Deep-sleep. If you want to hold the state of a digital GPIO during Deep-sleep, please call `gpio_deep_sleep_hold_en`.

  Power down or call `gpio_hold_dis` will disable this function.

  Parameters:

    gpio_num -- GPIO number, only support output-capable GPIOs

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK Success

    - ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED Not support pad hold function

esp_err_t gpio_hold_dis(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

  Disable gpio pad hold function.

  When the chip is woken up from peripheral power-down sleep, the gpio will be set to the default mode, so, the gpio will output the default level if this function is called. If you don't want the level changes, the gpio should be configured to a known state before this function is called. e.g. If you hold gpio18 high during Deep-sleep, after the chip is woken up and `gpio_hold_dis` is called, gpio18 will output low level(because gpio18 is input mode by default). If you don't want this behavior, you should configure gpio18 as output mode and set it to high level before calling `gpio_hold_dis`.

  Parameters:

    gpio_num -- GPIO number, only support output-capable GPIOs

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK Success

    - ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED Not support pad hold function

void gpio_deep_sleep_hold_en(void)

  Enable all digital gpio pads hold function during Deep-sleep.

  Enabling this feature makes all digital gpio pads be at the holding state during Deep-sleep. The state of each pad holds is its active configuration (not pad's sleep configuration!).

  Note:

  1. For digital IO, this API takes effect only if the corresponding digital IO pad hold function has been enabled. You can enable the GPIO pad hold function by calling `gpio_hold_en`. has been enabled. You can call `gpio_hold_en` to enable the gpio pad hold function.

  2. Though this API targets all digital IOs, the pad hold feature only works when the chip is in Deep-sleep mode. When the chip is in active mode, the digital GPIO state can be changed freely even if you have called this function, except for IOs that are already held by `gpio_hold_en`.

  After this API is being called, the digital gpio Deep-sleep hold feature will work during every sleep process. You should call `gpio_deep_sleep_hold_dis` to disable this feature.

  Disable all digital gpio pads hold function during Deep-sleep.

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_force_hold_en_all(void)

  Enable force hold signal for all RTC IOs.

  Each RTC pad has a "force hold" input signal from the RTC controller. If this signal is set, pad latches current values of input enable, function, output enable, and other signals which come from the RTC mux. Force hold signal is enabled before going into deep sleep for pins which are used for EXT1 wakeup.

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_force_hold_dis_all(void)

  Disable force hold signal for all RTC IOs.

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_isolate(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

  Helper function to disconnect internal circuits from an RTC IO This function disables input, output, pullup, pulldown, and enables hold feature for an RTC IO. Use this function if an RTC IO needs to be disconnected from internal circuits in deep sleep, to minimize leakage current.

  In particular, for ESP32-WROVER module, call rtc_gpio_isolate(GPIO_NUM_12) before entering deep sleep, to reduce deep sleep current.

  Parameters:

    gpio_num -- GPIO number (e.g. GPIO_NUM_12).

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK Success

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG The IO is not an RTC IO
