hi, again.

when you put a pin to mode INPUT.  you can set pull up/down registers.

because when you booted raspberry pi ,all gpio’s have default PULL UP or PULL DOWN registers. previus article sample is working because when we put pin to INPUT, it’is LOW. if you use another pin that is HIGH it will not work.

look at below picture. it is taken from bcm2835 sheet page 102

now changing pull up/down

in document page 91, I have taken this address’s

0x 7E20 0094  GPIO Pin Pull-up/down Enable 32

0x 7E20 0098 GPIO Pin Pull-up/down Enable Clock 0

0x 7E20 009C GPPUDCLK1 GPIO Pin Pull-up/down Enable Clock 1

 
#define PERIPHERALS_GPIO_PULL_PHYSICAL (0x94/sizeof(int))
#define PERIPHERALS_GPIO_PULL_CLOCK_PHYSICAL (0x98/sizeof(int))

as you see we defined two address, why ?

because we will set PULL value to PERIPHERALS_GPIO_PULL_PHYSICAL address

and pin value to PERIPHERALS_GPIO_PULL_CLOCK_PHYSICAL address.

but procedure of changing pull value is more than this.

from document:

1. Write to GPPUD to set the required control signal (i.e. Pull-up or Pull-Down or neither
to remove the current Pull-up/down)
2. Wait 150 cycles – this provides the required set-up time for the control signal
3. Write to GPPUDCLK0/1 to clock the control signal into the GPIO pads you wish to
modify – NOTE only the pads which receive a clock will be modified, all others will
retain their previous state.
4. Wait 150 cycles – this provides the required hold time for the control signal
5. Write to GPPUD to remove the control signal
6. Write to GPPUDCLK0/1 to remove the clock

lets start:

write correct bit values to (gpio+PERIPHERALS_GPIO_PULL_PHYSICAL)

correct values:

00 = Off – disable pull-up/down
01 = Enable Pull Down control
10 = Enable Pull Up control

then

wait 5 microseconds

then

set correct pin bit to 1 at (gpio+PERIPHERALS_GPIO_PULL_CLOCK_PHYSICAL) adress

then

wait 5 microsecond

then

write zero to (gpio+PERIPHERALS_GPIO_PULL_PHYSICAL) address

then

wait 5 microsecond

then

write (gpio+PERIPHERALS_GPIO_PULL_CLOCK_PHYSICAL) adress

 

below is the algorithm.

now create a template board above. and test it

neededs:

2 cables (yellow is output, and orange is input)

1 10K resistor

1 push button

as you see, orange cable is at 7 pin, which is HIGH when rebooted raspberry.

if you disable

setPull(inputpin,EM_PULL_DOWN);

code it will now work as expected.

reboot your raspberry before testing. when you change a pin PULL_DOWN, until you change again it will be PULL_DOWN.

here is test code pull.c

gcc -o test pull.c
