^ Choosing a test-able GPIO for GPIO demo app

We would like to learn to write Quectel BG95 firmware which can control two or more GPIOs of the BG95-Mx module. QuecOpen's demo app to exercise a GPIO contains token ``, which appears many times in source file `example_gpio.c`. Following excerpt shares just some of these symbol appearances:

Excerpt x - QuecOpen gpio demo variable 'g_test_pin_num':

ted@localhost1:/usr/local/include/quectel/quectel/example/gpio/src$ grep -n g_test_pin_num ./*

149:MODULE_PIN_ENUM  g_test_pin_num = PIN_E_GPIO_01;
267:	IOT_INFO("[GPIO] ### Test pin is %d, gpio_id is %d ###", g_test_pin_num, gpio_map_tbl[g_test_pin_num].gpio_id);
268:	qt_uart_dbg(uart_conf.hdlr, "[GPIO] ### Test pin is %d, gpio_id is %d ###", g_test_pin_num, gpio_map_tbl[g_test_pin_num].gpio_id);
273:	{g_test_pin_num = 32;
274:		gpio_config(g_test_pin_num, QAPI_GPIO_OUTPUT_E, QAPI_GPIO_NO_PULL_E, QAPI_GPIO_2MA_E);	
275:		status = qapi_TLMM_Drive_Gpio(gpio_id_tbl[g_test_pin_num], gpio_map_tbl[g_test_pin_num].gpio_id, QAPI_GPIO_LOW_VALUE_E);
276:		IOT_DEBUG("[GPIO] Set %d QAPI_GPIO_LOW_VALUE_E status = %d", g_test_pin_num, status);
277:		qt_uart_dbg(uart_conf.hdlr,"[GPIO] Set %d QAPI_GPIO_LOW_VALUE_E status = %d", g_test_pin_num, status);
280:		status = qapi_TLMM_Drive_Gpio(gpio_id_tbl[g_test_pin_num], gpio_map_tbl[g_test_pin_num].gpio_id, QAPI_GPIO_HIGH_VALUE_E);
281:		IOT_DEBUG("[GPIO] Set %d QAPI_GPIO_HIGH_VALUE_E status = %d", g_test_pin_num, status);
282:		qt_uart_dbg(uart_conf.hdlr,"[GPIO] Set %d QAPI_GPIO_HIGH_VALUE_E status = %d", g_test_pin_num, status);
285:		status = qapi_TLMM_Release_Gpio_ID(&tlmm_config[g_test_pin_num], gpio_id_tbl[g_test_pin_num]);
 .
 .
 .

This variable is assigned values a couple of different places in the code, though not all these assignments necessarily can we say will happen at a given run time. But these assignments lead us to a symbol which expresses a QuecOpen C based data structure, and this in turn serves to create tables of GPIO pins and pin attributes. Three such pin tables are declared in `example_gpio.c`, one table for each of the modules BG95, BG77 and BG600L.

Following GPIO pin table from QuecOpen gpio demo app:

 52 /*  !!! This Pin Enumeration Only Applicable BG95-OPEN Project !!!
 53  */
 54  #if defined(_QUECTEL_PROJECT_BG95)
 55 GPIO_MAP_TBL gpio_map_tbl[PIN_E_GPIO_MAX] = {
 56 /* PIN NUM,   PIN NAME,  GPIO ID  GPIO FUNC */
 57     {  4,     "GPIO_01",    24,       0}, 
 58     {  5,     "GPIO_02",    21,       0}, 
 59     {  6,     "GPIO_03",    22,       0}, 
 60     {  7,     "GPIO_04",    23,       0}, 
 61     { 18,     "GPIO_05",     3,       0}, 
 62     { 19,     "GPIO_06",     2,       0}, 
 63     { 22,     "GPIO_07",     1,       0},
    .
    .
    .

From document Quectel_BG95BG77BG600L_Series_QuecOpen_Application_Note_V1.4.pdf, page 23, it appears that BG95 pin 18 has signal/port name GPIO5, which in turn can be configured to be GPIO_3 or I2C1_SCL. This matters because the eval board breaks out a limited number of test pins on J803, J805, J806 and J804. On J804 there is a pin designated as I2C_SCL. In document Quectel_BG95BG77BG600L_Series_QuecOpen_Application_Note_V1.4.pdf there are references only to I2C1, not any other numbered I2C peripheral.

To iterate over valid GPIOs in QuecOpen gpio sample app, a review of _____ data structure assists in needed modification to source file example_gpio.c:

ted@localhost1:/usr/local/include/quectel$ grep -nr GPIO_MAP_TBL ./*
./include/qapi/qapi_pwm.h:144:}PWM_GPIO_MAP_TBL;
./quectel/utils/include/quectel_gpio.h:71:}GPIO_MAP_TBL;    <-- this is the data structure we need understand
typedef struct{^M
        uint32_t pin_num;^M
        char     *pin_name;^M
        uint32_t gpio_id;^M
        uint32_t gpio_func;^M
}GPIO_MAP_TBL;^M


* Timer unit type.
*
* Enumeration of the units in which timer duration can 
* be specified. 
*/
typedef enum {
  QAPI_TIMER_UNIT_TICK,     /**< Return time in ticks. */
  QAPI_TIMER_UNIT_USEC,     /**< Return time in microseconds. */
  QAPI_TIMER_UNIT_MSEC,     /**< Return time in milliseconds. */
  QAPI_TIMER_UNIT_SEC,      /**< Return time in seconds. */
  QAPI_TIMER_UNIT_MIN,      /**< Return time in minutes. */
  QAPI_TIMER_UNIT_HOUR,     /**< Return time in hours. */
  QAPI_TIMER_UNIT_MAX
}qapi_TIMER_unit_type;
