9.1.1 GPIO Register Definitions
There are a total of eight registers within the GPIO control block: one is used to monitor pin state;
two are used to control pin state; one is used to control pin direction; two are used to specify a pin’s
edge type that should be detected; and one is used to flag when specified edge types are detected on
pins. The last register indicates whether a pin is used as normal GPIO or whether it is taken over by
the alternate function. Note that the pin direction register (GPDR) is the only register that is
initialized by reset. The values in all other GPIO registers are unknown following reset and must be
initialized by software.
