Hi Brian:

 

You can always test the value of the GPIO with gpio_pin_read() in the callback, if it is 1, then the cause is a rising edge, and if it is 0 the cause was a falling edge. Unfortunately if the input is a very short pulse you could get a rising edge interrupt, but by the time you get around to reading the GPIO, it could be back to low giving you the wrong information, and the short pulse should also trigger a second interrupt. If your transitions are relatively slow the testing the GPIO is good enough.

 

I agree there should be a way to separate the rising and falling events. Did you try creating two call backs, one for rising, and one for falling?

 

gpio_pin_configure – with flags for rising edge

gpio_init_callback,  - rising

gpio_add_callback, - rising

gpio_pin_enable_callback – for rising edges

 

gpio_pin_configure – with flags for falling edge

gpio_init_callback,  - falling

gpio_add_callback, - falling

gpio_pin_enable_callback – for falling edges

Subject: [Zephyr-users] Determining source of GPIO Interrupt on NRF52832 #gpio #nrf52832

 

Hello, 

I hope I am posting this question in the correct place.

I have an interrupt handler which can be configured to trigger on either edge. This is working perfectly, but I want to perform a different action on a rising edge vs a falling edge in some cases. Is there any way to do this? (i.e., perhaps I can determine in the interrupt context that a rising edge and not a falling edge was triggered?)

I am configuring the interrupts and registering the handler using the gpio API (gpio_pin_configure, gpio_init_callback, gpio_add_callback, gpio_pin_enable_callback), but the interrupt handler will act differently on a rising edge vs falling edge, for instance, so it is helpful to know which specific flags were raised that triggered the interrupt. I am currently using the gpio_pin_read API to work around this, but I am not sure if this is the best solution.

In other MCU's there is often an API to read the status register containing the interrupt flags that have been raised, and then an API for clearing the status register after reading. Is there anything similar with Zephyr? Or perhaps there is a way to have two different handlers for rising edge/falling edge?

I am using Zephyr v2.0.99 right now.

Thanks for any help, 
Brian
