\section x4x0gpio_fpanel The X4x0 Front Panel GPIO
Like other USRP devices (e.g., E310, X310), the X4x0 devices expose auxiliary
GPIO connections through the motherboard. These GPIO pins can be controlled from
either the user application in the FPGA or from the radio blocks.
There are 24 GPIO pins in total, split between two HDMI connectors (labelled
GPIO0 and GPIO1) which each expose 12 pins.
Additionally, the X4x0 GPIO lines include a 3.3V power supply which is disabled
by default, which can provide up to 450mA with overcurrent protection. See
\ref x4x0_gpio_power

\subsection x4x0_gpio_output Setting GPIO Output
The GPIO lines can be configured according to the
uhd::usrp::multi_usrp::set_gpio_attr() API, like can be seen at \ref
xgpio_fpanel_atr.
The major difference is that in order to use that API, the GPIO source must be
correctly configured. The source can be configured using
uhd::usrp::multi_usrp::set_gpio_src(), which takes two arguments: A "bank" and a
"src". The `bank` argument specifies the GPIO port to configure, and the `src`
argument is a vector of twelve elements, each specifying the source for the
given GPIO pin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.py}
# Set every pin on GPIO0 to be controlled by DB1_RF0
usrp.set_gpio_src("GPIO0", ["DB1_RF0"]*12)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bank can be either "GPIO0" or "GPIO1", and the sources can be any
combination of:
- DBx_RFy: Controlled by the slot-x radio block via the set_gpio_attr
API, with ATR states derived from channel y on that slot if CTRL is set to 1. If
CTRL is set to 0, y is ignored and can be either 0 or 1.
- DBx_SPI: Controlled via the digital interface block in the slot-x
radio block.
- PS: Controlled directly via the Linux GPIO API on the embedded
processor.
- USER_APP: Controlled via user logic in the FPGA. Note that this only
works with custom modifications to the FPGA codebase, and not with standard UHD
FPGA images.
Once the source is set, using the GPIO proceeds identically to the usage on
other devices. Note that the values and masks for the
uhd::usrp::multi_usrp::set_gpio_attr() API combines all 24 pins, with bits
[23:12] representing the GPIO1 port and bits [11:0] representing the GPIO0 port.
For example, to configure the 4th bit on GPIO1 (HDMI pin number 7) as a high
output, one would run:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.py}
pin_mask = 1 << (12 + 4) # 12 for GPIO1, 4 for the bit on that port
usrp.set_gpio_attr("GPIOA", "CTRL", 0, pin_mask) # Non-ATR mode
usrp.set_gpio_attr("GPIOA", "DDR", pin_mask, pin_mask) # Output
usrp.set_gpio_attr("GPIOA", "OUT", pin_mask, pin_mask) # Set value high
usrp.set_gpio_attr("GPIOA", "OUT", 0, pin_mask) # Set value low
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\subsection x4x0_gpio_power Configuring External Power Supply
The X410's GPIO ports each have 3.3V power supply pins, which is disabled by
default. The GPIO lines will function correctly without the external power
supply enabled, and the voltage of the power supply is independent of the
selected GPIO line voltage. To enable the power supply, call the
uhd::features::gpio_power_iface::set_external_power() method on the gpio_power
discoverable feature attached to the mb_controller:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
auto usrp = uhd::usrp::multi_usrp::make("type=x4xx");
auto& gpio = usrp->get_mb_controller().get_feature();
gpio.set_external_power("GPIO1", true); // Enable external power on GPIO1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The status of the external power supply can be queried using
uhd::features::gpio_power_iface::get_external_power_status(), which will return
one of the following values:
- OFF: Power supply is disabled (the default).
- ON: Power supply is operating normally.
- FAULT: Power supply has encountered a fault and disabled itself. This
condition can be cleared by calling
uhd::features::gpio_power_iface::set_external_power().
\subsection x4x0_gpio_voltage Configuring GPIO Voltage
The voltage level of the I/O lines can be selected as any of 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V
voltage levels on a per-bank basis. To do this use the
uhd::features::gpio_power_iface::set_port_voltage() API:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
auto usrp = uhd::usrp::multi_usrp::make("type=x4xx");
auto& gpio = usrp->get_mb_controller().get_feature();
gpio.set_port_voltage("GPIO0", "2V5"); // Set GPIO0 voltage to 2.5V
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Valid values can be enumerated with the
uhd::features::gpio_power_iface::supported_voltages() call, and are "1V8",
"2V5", and "3V3".
