Detailed Description
These functions allow you to control the GPIO interface. You can set the function of each
GPIO pin, read the input state and set the output state.
Function Documentation
void bcm2835_delay (unsigned int millis) [extern]
Delays for the specified number of milliseconds. Uses nanosleep(), and therefore does not
use CPU until the time is up. However, you are at the mercy of nanosleep(). From the
manual for nanosleep(): If the interval specified in req is not an exact multiple of the
granularity
underlying clock (see time(7)), then the interval will be rounded up to the next
multiple. Furthermore, after the sleep completes, there may still be a delay before the
CPU becomes free to once again execute the calling thread.
Parameters
millis Delay in milliseconds
void bcm2835_delayMicroseconds (uint64_t micros) [extern]
Delays for the specified number of microseconds. Uses a combination of nanosleep() and a
busy wait loop on the BCM2835 system timers, However, you are at the mercy of nanosleep().
From the manual for nanosleep(): If the interval specified in req is not an exact multiple
of the granularity
underlying clock (see time(7)), then the interval will be rounded up to the next
multiple. Furthermore, after the sleep completes, there may still be a delay before the
CPU becomes free to once again execute the calling thread. For times less than about 450
microseconds, uses a busy wait on the System Timer. It is reported that a delay of 0
microseconds on RaspberryPi will in fact result in a delay of about 80 microseconds. Your
mileage may vary.
Parameters
micros Delay in microseconds
void bcm2835_gpio_afen (uint8_t pin) [extern]
Enable Asynchronous Falling Edge Detect Enable for the specified pin. When a falling edge
is detected, sets the appropriate pin in Event Detect Status. Asynchronous means the
incoming signal is not sampled by the system clock. As such falling edges of very short
duration can be detected.
Parameters
pin GPIO number, or one of RPI_GPIO_P1_* from RPiGPIOPin.
void bcm2835_gpio_aren (uint8_t pin) [extern]
Enable Asynchronous Rising Edge Detect Enable for the specified pin. When a rising edge is
detected, sets the appropriate pin in Event Detect Status. Asynchronous means the incoming
signal is not sampled by the system clock. As such rising edges of very short duration can
be detected.
Parameters
pin GPIO number, or one of RPI_GPIO_P1_* from RPiGPIOPin.
void bcm2835_gpio_clr (uint8_t pin) [extern]
Sets the specified pin output to LOW.
Parameters
pin GPIO number, or one of RPI_GPIO_P1_* from RPiGPIOPin.

Parameters
pin GPIO number, or one of RPI_GPIO_P1_* from RPiGPIOPin.
uint8_t bcm2835_gpio_eds (uint8_t pin) [extern]
Event Detect Status. Tests whether the specified pin has detected a level or edge as
requested by bcm2835_gpio_ren(), bcm2835_gpio_fen(), bcm2835_gpio_hen(),
bcm2835_gpio_len(), bcm2835_gpio_aren(), bcm2835_gpio_afen(). Clear the flag for a given
pin by calling bcm2835_gpio_set_eds(pin);
Parameters
pin GPIO number, or one of RPI_GPIO_P1_* from RPiGPIOPin.
Returns
HIGH if the event detect status for the given pin is true.
uint32_t bcm2835_gpio_eds_multi (uint32_t mask) [extern]
Same as bcm2835_gpio_eds() but checks if any of the pins specified in the mask have
detected a level or edge.

void bcm2835_gpio_fen (uint8_t pin) [extern]

looking for a ?100? pattern on the sampled signal. This has the effect of suppressing
glitches.

to use bcm2835_gpio_set_pud().

pud The desired Pull-up/down mode. One of BCM2835_GPIO_PUD_* from bcm2835PUDControl On
the RPI 4, although this function and bcm2835_gpio_pudclk() are supported for backward
compatibility, new code should always use bcm2835_gpio_set_pud().

Clocks the Pull-up/down value set earlier by bcm2835_gpio_pud() into the pin.

glitches.

included.
