<b><font face="Helvetica, Arial"><font color="#BF0000"><font size=+2>Project 
Name: General-Purpose I/O (GPIO) Core</font></font></font></b>
 
<p><u><font size=+1>Description</font></u> 
<p>The GPIO IP core is user-programmable general-purpose I/O controller. Its use is to implement functions that are not implemented with the dedicated controllers in a system and require simple input and/or output software controlled signals.
<p>
<p><u><font size=+1>Features</font></u>
<p>
The following lists the main features of GPIO IP core:
<ul>
<li>Number of general-purpose I/O signals is user selectable and can be in range from 1 to 32. For more I/Os several GPIO cores can be used in parallel.</li>
<li>All general-purpose I/O signals can be bi-directional (external bi-directional I/O cells are required in this case).</li>
<li>All general-purpose I/O signals can be three-stated or open-drain enabled (external three-state or open-drain I/O cells are required in this case).</li>
<li>General-purpose I/O signals programmed as inputs can cause interrupt to the CPU.</li>
<li>General-purpose I/O signals programmed as inputs can be registered at raising edge of system clock or at user programmed edge of external clock.</li>
<li>All general-purpose I/O signals are programmed as inputs at hardware reset.</li>
<li>Auxiliary inputs to GPIO core to bypass outputs from RGPIO_OUT register.</li>
<li>Alternative input reference clock signal from external interface.</li>
<li>WISHBONE SoC Interconnection Rev. B compliant interface</li>
</ul>
<p>More information about the WISHBONE SoC and a full specification can be found 
  <a href="http://www.opencores.org/wishbone/">here</a>.
