Hello,I have many types of gpio as shown bellow,for my SPI i used gpioModePushPull and gpioModeInput.
And SPI shown me no transmission signal because i didnt put pullup ressistors to the output of gpioModePushPull .
How can i know for what purpose to use what GPIO type?
Thanks.


Wired-or output
Wired-or output with pull-down
Open-drain output
Open-drain output with filter.
Open-drain output with pull-up
Open-drain output using alternate control

 

That could be a very lengthy discussion. Can you post a specific circuit?

 

Hello, I want to create a 4 byte SPI transmition,so i need my Chip select to be manual.
My Chip Select is PC9 as shown in the photo bellow from the starter kit manual.
I have connected my scope to Chip select and CLK.
At first as you can see bellow that When i have AUTO CS the SPI picture is fine.
But when i made autoCsEnable false, And i tried to do manual GPIO controlling of PC9 ,it didnt allow me that.
I even could not make PC9 to be VDD,and the most amazing thing is that i have built before almost identical code for EFM32 and it worked fine.I think its because of no pullups or something critical was disables with the disabling of the pin perhaps?
Where did i go wrong?
Thanks.

Firstly, you need to understand what is meant by open-drain (also open-collector) output and why you would want this configuration.

Open drain means that the drain pin of the output MOSFET transistor is not committed, i.e. there is no load connected to the drain. It is up to the hardware designer to provide a load resistor to VDD at the drain pin.

Why would you want to do this? You can do this if the load voltage differs from VDD of the chip. You may also want to do this if two or more outputs are wired together to create a wired-OR logic function using NEGATIVE LOGIC.

Now for your specific situation, if the GPIO pin is configured as SPI alternate function then presumably the hardware is automatically configured for PUSH-PULL output. In other words, no external pull-up resistor is required.

If you are going to manually control SPI CS then you have three options:

1) configure GPIO pin with PUSH-PULL output
2) configure GPIO pin with internal PULL-UP
3) use external PULL-UP resistor
