Does DigitalOut has to support LED=!LED ?
I was trying to add support for one of our board in mbed. When we configure our GPIO as output the data register will be always set to logical one. So in the application code if we put a statement like LED = !LED it wont be working properly.
Is it like mbed always expects a DigitalOut Pin to have a output data register which could read back the current value of pin?
Be the first to answer this question.
I think all currently do this, so it would for sure be nice if a new target does this to. You could do it in software, although I don't know if it really is required to support this. Consistency is nice though. (Not too much of a performance impact also).
Do you have a datasheet of the device you are working on?
posted by Erik - 23 Jun 2015yes. I do have a datasheet. We already have a device driver code base. We are reusing the same code for Mbed.
