Re: [beagleboard] Need 16 GPIOs Next to each other on P8

 Provided, you don't interfere with their settings during power up as they 
are also the boot pins.

He's saying you shouldn't interfere with their state at boot. No driving, 
pullup, or pull down on any of these pins (besides the those that configure 
the sysboot setting on the board).

Relays wont flip, but there are 100k pullups on some of the pins, so they 
could be in a state you don't want.

You could isolate these pins with something like a bilateral switch (or a 
Va = Vb type unidirectional level shifter) during boot. Attach the enable 
to 3v3_exp, and make sure whatever is on the world side of the isolator is 
in a known state when the pins are at high impedance (using pull ups or 
down).

For any pins that you want to switch simultaneously (which requires memory 
writes), make sure they're in the same gpio bank.

 Hi,

 I would like to configure BBB P8 with 16 (2 rows of 8) GPIO pins next to 
 each other.  They just need to be able to be set to high or low.  I see P7 
 through P18 but I need 4 more.  I am not using any LCD screen.  Is it 
 possible to reconfigure the pins?  I am a BBB newbie and would appreciate 
 any help so I don't mess anything up.

 Thanks

When reconfigured, would the LCD pins change states during boot up?  For 
example, if I had relays attached, would the pins open and close the relays 
during boot?

Thanks

 When reconfigured, would the LCD pins change states during boot up?  For
 example, if I had relays attached, would the pins open and close the relays
 during boot?
DonĀ¹t load the HDMI device tree overlay and then all GPIO remain in their
reset state which means all GPIO are defined as an input.
