Chapter 8
GPIO Target Interface
The SmartLynq+ Module GPIO can be used for a variety of basic input/output operaons on the
target board. The following gure shows a sample setup where the SmartLynq+ Module is
connected to an oscilloscope, power supply, and a target board.

In this setup, the SmartLynq+ Module uses an output from the GPIO pins to drive a trigger input
to the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope drives an input to module to allow monitoring a trigger
event from the oscilloscope. With this arrangement, it is possible to take analog measurements
with the oscilloscope and synchronize trigger events with the SmartLynq+ Module. The gure
also shows how a power supply or relay could be controlled through the GPIO port so as to
power on/o the target board. Thus, through the GPIO ports, it is possible to simplify the driving
and sensing of addional instruments connected to the target system. Note that the latency of
such a trigger is unpredictable because these are soware-driven triggers.
