1.2 GPIO Interrupt

This example application demonstrate how to generate GPIO interrupt on a pin that is configured to generate an interrupt on either (rising or falling) edge, and indicate the pin status using the LED.

Description

This application uses the GPIO Peripheral library to generate callback on when a pin is driven high or low, and drives the GPIO pin connected to the LED to indicate the pin status. Systick timer is configured to generate a periodic interrupt. A GPIO pin (configured as output) is toggled in the systick timer interrupt. The GPIO output pin is connected to the GPIO input pin. A LED is toggled when the GPIO input pin is driven high or low.
