Parallel IO
Introduction
The Parallel IO peripheral is a general purpose parallel interface that can be used to connect to external devices such as LED matrix, LCD display, Printer and Camera. The peripheral has independent TX and RX units. Each unit can have up to 8 or 16 data signals plus 1 or 2 clock signals. 1
警告
At the moment, the Parallel IO driver only supports TX mode. The RX feature is still working in progress.
Application Examples
Simple REG LED Matrix with HUB75 interface: peripherals/parlio/simple_rgb_led_matrix.

User can deregister a previously registered callback by calling this function and setting the callback member in the
cbs
structure to NULL.备注
When CONFIG_PARLIO_ISR_IRAM_SAFE is enabled, the callback itself and functions called by it should be placed in IRAM. The variables used in the function should be in the SRAM as well. The
user_data
should also reside in SRAM.- 参数

-
gpio_num_t clk_in_gpio_num

and the driver will use the internalclk_src
as clock source. This option has higher priority thanclk_src
-
uint32_t input_clk_src_freq_hz
Frequency of the input clock source, valid only if
clk_in_gpio_num
is not-1

Frequency of the output clock. It's divided from either internal
clk_src
or external clock source
-

Different ESP chip series might have different numbers of PARLIO TX/RX instances, and the maximum data bus can also be different. For more details, please refer to ESP32-H2 Technical Reference Manual > Chapter Parallel IO (PARLIO) [PDF]. The driver will not forbid you from applying for more driver objects, but it will return error when all available hardware resources are used up. Please always check the return value when doing resource allocation (e.g.
parlio_new_tx_unit()
).
