This question has been asked and answered before. There is a search box with a big blue button marked "Search" next to it. I suggest you use it. The document you need is the processor data sheet. (SPRS717F) table 2.7 On Monday, July 28, 2014 8:26:48 AM UTC+2, ope...@gmail.com wrote: > > Hi, > > I

This doesn't answers my question. So to describe it more clear: - board/CPU is powered and running - SYS_RESETn is HIGH - GPIO is configured as input ...so all preconditions mentioned in BBB manual are met. Now when I want to set a HIGH signal to that GPI, can I connect it with BBBs 3.3V directl

Now when I want to set a HIGH signal to that GPI, can I connect it with BBBs 3.3V directly Yes. or is a resistor needed in order to keep this 8 mA sink limit? No. (You must observe the 8 mA limit, but connecting a GPIO to the 3.3V or gnd rails will not require anything close to 8 mA.) -M

A GPIO configured as an input will not draw substantial current from the line it's connected to. It is sensitive to the charge level on the line and will not draw current from it (exempting the gate capacitor charge-up). A GPIO that is set to OUTPUT a high signal is now a potential source of c

The gpio are push pull/pseudo open drain, so there's a transistor/switch going from 3.3V to the pin, and a transistor going from ground to the pin. When you set the pin high, you're turning on only the transistor to 3.3V, so it's sourcing the current from 3.3V, through the transistor, out of the pi

Serge, I was talking about the pin driver circuit inside the package (something like this ) not an external connection to 3.3V or ground, but I totally agree for external connections. Always make sure the current in and out of the pin, in any oops type configurat
