GPIO & RTC GPIO

GPIO Summary

The ESP32 chip features 34 physical GPIO pins (GPIO0 ~ GPIO19, GPIO21 ~ GPIO23, GPIO25 ~ GPIO27, and GPIO32 ~ GPIO39). Each pin can be used as a general-purpose I/O, or be connected to an internal peripheral signal. Through IO MUX, RTC IO MUX and the GPIO matrix, peripheral input signals can be from any IO pins, and peripheral output signals can be routed to any IO pins. Together these modules provide highly configurable I/O. For more details, see ESP32 Technical Reference Manual > IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO_MUX) [PDF].

The table below provides more information on pin usage, and please note the comments in the table for GPIOs with restrictions.

Note

  • Strapping pin: GPIO0, GPIO2, GPIO5, GPIO12 (MTDI), and GPIO15 (MTDO) are strapping pins. For more infomation, please refer to ESP32 datasheet.

  • SPI0/1: GPIO6-11 and GPIO16-17 are usually connected to the SPI flash and PSRAM integrated on the module and therefore should not be used for other purposes.

  • JTAG: GPIO12-15 are usually used for inline debug.

  • GPI: GPIO34-39 can only be set as input mode and do not have software-enabled pullup or pulldown functions.

  • TXD & RXD are usually used for flashing and debugging.

  • ADC2: ADC2 pins cannot be used when Wi-Fi is used. So, if you are having trouble getting the value from an ADC2 GPIO while using Wi-Fi, you may consider using an ADC1 GPIO instead, which should solve your problem. For more details, please refer to Hardware Limitations of ADC Continuous Mode and Hardware Limitations of ADC Oneshot Mode.

  • Please do not use the interrupt of GPIO36 and GPIO39 when using ADC or Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with sleep mode enabled. Please refer to ESP32 ECO and Workarounds for Bugs > Section 3.11 for the detailed description of the issue.

GPIO driver offers a dump function gpio_dump_io_configuration() to show the configurations of the IOs at the moment, such as pull-up / pull-down, input / output enable, pin mapping etc. Below is an example dump:

================IO DUMP Start================
IO[4] -
  Pullup: 1, Pulldown: 0, DriveCap: 2
  InputEn: 1, OutputEn: 0, OpenDrain: 0
  FuncSel: 1 (GPIO)
  GPIO Matrix SigIn ID: (simple GPIO input)
  SleepSelEn: 1

IO[18] -
  Pullup: 0, Pulldown: 0, DriveCap: 2
  InputEn: 0, OutputEn: 1, OpenDrain: 0
  FuncSel: 1 (GPIO)
  GPIO Matrix SigOut ID: 256 (simple GPIO output)
  SleepSelEn: 1

IO[26] **RESERVED** -
  Pullup: 1, Pulldown: 0, DriveCap: 2
  InputEn: 1, OutputEn: 0, OpenDrain: 0
  FuncSel: 0 (IOMUX)
  SleepSelEn: 1

=================IO DUMP End==================

If an IO pin is routed to a peripheral signal through the GPIO matrix, the signal ID printed in the dump information is defined in the soc/gpio_sig_map.h file. The word **RESERVED** indicates the IO is occupied by either FLASH or PSRAM. It is strongly not recommended to reconfigure them for other application purposes.

There is also separate "RTC GPIO" support, which functions when GPIOs are routed to the "RTC" low-power and analog subsystem. These pin functions can be used when:

This ISR function is called whenever any GPIO interrupt occurs. See the alternative gpio_install_isr_service() and gpio_isr_handler_add() API in order to have the driver support per-GPIO ISRs.

To disable or remove the ISR, pass the returned handle to the interrupt allocation functions.

Parameters

  • fn -- Interrupt handler function.

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t gpio_install_isr_service(int intr_alloc_flags)

Install the GPIO driver's ETS_GPIO_INTR_SOURCE ISR handler service, which allows per-pin GPIO interrupt handlers.

This function is incompatible with gpio_isr_register() - if that function is used, a single global ISR is registered for all GPIO interrupts. If this function is used, the ISR service provides a global GPIO ISR and individual pin handlers are registered via the gpio_isr_handler_add() function.

Parameters

intr_alloc_flags -- Flags used to allocate the interrupt. One or multiple (ORred) ESP_INTR_FLAG_* values. See esp_intr_alloc.h for more info.

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_NO_MEM No memory to install this service

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE ISR service already installed.

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND No free interrupt found with the specified flags

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG GPIO error

void gpio_uninstall_isr_service(void)

Uninstall the driver's GPIO ISR service, freeing related resources.

esp_err_t gpio_isr_handler_add(gpio_num_t gpio_num, gpio_isr_t isr_handler, void *args)

Add ISR handler for the corresponding GPIO pin.

Call this function after using gpio_install_isr_service() to install the driver's GPIO ISR handler service.

The pin ISR handlers no longer need to be declared with IRAM_ATTR, unless you pass the ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM flag when allocating the ISR in gpio_install_isr_service().

This ISR handler will be called from an ISR. So there is a stack size limit (configurable as "ISR stack size" in menuconfig). This limit is smaller compared to a global GPIO interrupt handler due to the additional level of indirection.

Parameters

  • gpio_num -- GPIO number

  • isr_handler -- ISR handler function for the corresponding GPIO number.

  • args -- parameter for ISR handler.

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE Wrong state, the ISR service has not been initialized.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t gpio_isr_handler_remove(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

Remove ISR handler for the corresponding GPIO pin.

Parameters

gpio_num -- GPIO number

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE Wrong state, the ISR service has not been initialized.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t gpio_set_drive_capability(gpio_num_t gpio_num, gpio_drive_cap_t strength)

Set GPIO pad drive capability.

Parameters

  • gpio_num -- GPIO number, only support output GPIOs

  • strength -- Drive capability of the pad

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t gpio_get_drive_capability(gpio_num_t gpio_num, gpio_drive_cap_t *strength)

Get GPIO pad drive capability.

Parameters

  • gpio_num -- GPIO number, only support output GPIOs

  • strength -- Pointer to accept drive capability of the pad

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t gpio_hold_en(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

Enable gpio pad hold function.

When a GPIO is set to hold, its state is latched at that moment and will not change when the internal signal or the IO MUX/GPIO configuration is modified (including input enable, output enable, output value, function, and drive strength values). This function can be used to retain the state of GPIOs when the chip or system is reset, for example, when watchdog time-out or Deep-sleep events are triggered.

This function works in both input and output modes, and only applicable to output-capable GPIOs. If this function is enabled: in output mode: the output level of the GPIO will be locked and can not be changed. in input mode: the input read value can still reflect the changes of the input signal.

However, on ESP32/S2/C3/S3/C2, this function cannot be used to hold the state of a digital GPIO during Deep-sleep. Even if this function is enabled, the digital GPIO will be reset to its default state when the chip wakes up from Deep-sleep. If you want to hold the state of a digital GPIO during Deep-sleep, please call gpio_deep_sleep_hold_en.

Power down or call gpio_hold_dis will disable this function.

Parameters

gpio_num -- GPIO number, only support output-capable GPIOs

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED Not support pad hold function

esp_err_t gpio_hold_dis(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

Disable gpio pad hold function.

When the chip is woken up from Deep-sleep, the gpio will be set to the default mode, so, the gpio will output the default level if this function is called. If you don't want the level changes, the gpio should be configured to a known state before this function is called. e.g. If you hold gpio18 high during Deep-sleep, after the chip is woken up and gpio_hold_dis is called, gpio18 will output low level(because gpio18 is input mode by default). If you don't want this behavior, you should configure gpio18 as output mode and set it to hight level before calling gpio_hold_dis.

Parameters

gpio_num -- GPIO number, only support output-capable GPIOs

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED Not support pad hold function

void gpio_deep_sleep_hold_en(void)

Enable all digital gpio pads hold function during Deep-sleep.

Enabling this feature makes all digital gpio pads be at the holding state during Deep-sleep. The state of each pad holds is its active configuration (not pad's sleep configuration!).

Note that this pad hold feature only works when the chip is in Deep-sleep mode. When the chip is in active mode, the digital gpio state can be changed freely even you have called this function.

After this API is being called, the digital gpio Deep-sleep hold feature will work during every sleep process. You should call gpio_deep_sleep_hold_dis to disable this feature.

void gpio_deep_sleep_hold_dis(void)

Disable all digital gpio pads hold function during Deep-sleep.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG GPIO is not an RTC IO

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_pullup_dis(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

RTC GPIO pullup disable.

This function only works for RTC IOs. In general, call gpio_pullup_dis, which will work both for normal GPIOs and RTC IOs.

Parameters

gpio_num -- GPIO number (e.g. GPIO_NUM_12)

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG GPIO is not an RTC IO

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_pulldown_dis(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

RTC GPIO pulldown disable.

This function only works for RTC IOs. In general, call gpio_pulldown_dis, which will work both for normal GPIOs and RTC IOs.

Parameters

gpio_num -- GPIO number (e.g. GPIO_NUM_12)

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG GPIO is not an RTC IO

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_set_drive_capability(gpio_num_t gpio_num, gpio_drive_cap_t strength)

Parameters

  • gpio_num -- GPIO number, only support output GPIOs

  • strength -- Drive capability of the pad

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_get_drive_capability(gpio_num_t gpio_num, gpio_drive_cap_t *strength)

Get RTC GPIO pad drive capability.

Parameters

  • gpio_num -- GPIO number, only support output GPIOs

  • strength -- Pointer to accept drive capability of the pad

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_iomux_func_sel(gpio_num_t gpio_num, int func)

Select a RTC IOMUX function for the RTC IO.

Parameters

  • gpio_num -- GPIO number

  • func -- Function to assign to the pin

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Parameter error

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_hold_en(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

Enable hold function on an RTC IO pad.

Enabling HOLD function will cause the pad to latch current values of input enable, output enable, output value, function, drive strength values. This function is useful when going into light or deep sleep mode to prevent the pin configuration from changing.

Parameters

gpio_num -- GPIO number (e.g. GPIO_NUM_12)

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG GPIO is not an RTC IO

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_hold_dis(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

Disable hold function on an RTC IO pad.

Disabling hold function will allow the pad receive the values of input enable, output enable, output value, function, drive strength from RTC_IO peripheral.

Parameters

gpio_num -- GPIO number (e.g. GPIO_NUM_12)

Returns

  • ESP_OK Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG GPIO is not an RTC IO

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_force_hold_en_all(void)

Enable force hold signal for all RTC IOs.

Each RTC pad has a "force hold" input signal from the RTC controller. If this signal is set, pad latches current values of input enable, function, output enable, and other signals which come from the RTC mux. Force hold signal is enabled before going into deep sleep for pins which are used for EXT1 wakeup.

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_force_hold_dis_all(void)

Disable force hold signal for all RTC IOs.

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_isolate(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

Helper function to disconnect internal circuits from an RTC IO This function disables input, output, pullup, pulldown, and enables hold feature for an RTC IO. Use this function if an RTC IO needs to be disconnected from internal circuits in deep sleep, to minimize leakage current.

In particular, for ESP32-WROVER module, call rtc_gpio_isolate(GPIO_NUM_12) before entering deep sleep, to reduce deep sleep current.

Parameters

gpio_num -- GPIO number (e.g. GPIO_NUM_12).

Returns

  • ESP_OK on success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if GPIO is not an RTC IO

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_wakeup_enable(gpio_num_t gpio_num, gpio_int_type_t intr_type)

Enable wakeup from sleep mode using specific GPIO.

Parameters

  • gpio_num -- GPIO number

  • intr_type -- Wakeup on high level (GPIO_INTR_HIGH_LEVEL) or low level (GPIO_INTR_LOW_LEVEL)

Returns

  • ESP_OK on success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if gpio_num is not an RTC IO, or intr_type is not one of GPIO_INTR_HIGH_LEVEL, GPIO_INTR_LOW_LEVEL.

esp_err_t rtc_gpio_wakeup_disable(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

Disable wakeup from sleep mode using specific GPIO.

Parameters

gpio_num -- GPIO number

Returns

  • ESP_OK on success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if gpio_num is not an RTC IO
