NVIC interrupts on two ports with same pin number

Hello everybody,

Is it possible to link same pin number of different GPIO ports on the same EXTI line ?

For example, create an interrupt on line_0 for the GPIO pin A0 and the pin B0. It seems impossible to achieve with the ST librairies - but I don't understand why it's impossible regarding to the internal schematic of the STM32F4... I really want to use more than 16 GPIO with interrupts. Is there a software way to perform this interruption ?

Thanks a lot !

NO, it uses an N-to-1 mux, only one bank's pin reaches the signal conditioning.

Thanks Clive, I just wanted to sure.

Generally you'd use an external priority decoder to decimate the number of pins required on the CPU.

Alternatively you could use TIMx_CHx pins in input capture mode, or poll slow GPIO sources. I'd recommend a print out of the Data Sheet with pin designations, and a high-lighter pen. Assign the TIM pins first, then the EXTI. Draw a pin vs bank matrix if that helps.

For example. 74HC147

10-to-4 Line Priority Encoder

or 74HC148

8-Line To 3-Line Priority Encoder

. Also CD4532 from the old CMOS 4000 series.

Also note on the STM32F4 family (STM32F405/407xx and STM32F415/417xx) this erratum -

Configuration of PH10 and PI10 as external interrupts is erroneous

Description

PH10 or PI10 is selected as the source for the EXTI10 external interrupt by setting bits

EXTI10[3:0] of SYSCFG_EXTICR3 register to 0x0111 or 0x1000, respectively. However,

this erroneous operation enables PH2 and PI2 as external interrupt inputs.

As a result, it is not possible to use PH10/PI10 as interrupt sources if PH2/PI2 are not

selected as the interrupt source, as well. This means that bits EXTI10[3:0] of

SYSCFG_EXTICR3 register and bits EXTI2[3:0] of SYSCFG_EXTICR1 should be

programmed to the same value:

• 0x0111 to select PH10/PH2

• 0x1000 to select PI10/PI2

Workaround

None.

Then just use an external single OR gate such as the SN74LVC1G32DBVR (Texas version of 74LVC1G32 single OR gate). Alternatively, if you need a '0' OR (output low if either input low) the SN74LVC1G08DBVR AND gate will do.
