PortOut

Use the PortOut interface to define which pins of a hardware GPIO port are set as an output and to write those pins. The port name is device specific and defined in the device's PortNames.h file in the mbed-os/targets folder.

A bit mask defines which pins of the GPIO port are set as an output (1b = include, 0b = ignore). The default mask value is 0xFFFFFFFF which sets all pins as an output.

The device-specific PinNames.h and the respective datasheet or reference manual define the pins associated with a GPIO port.

Note: You can combine pins from different GPIO ports using the BusOut interface. Use PortIn to define which GPIO pins are to be used as digital input.
