General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)
Register 10: GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL), offset 0x420
The GPIOAFSEL register is the mode control select register. Writing a 1 to any bit in this register
selects the hardware control for the corresponding GPIO line. All bits are cleared by a reset, therefore
no GPIO line is set to hardware control by default.
The GPIO commit control registers provide a layer of protection against accidental programming of
critical hardware peripherals. Protection is currently provided for the NMI pin (PB7) and the four
JTAG/SWD pins (PC[3:0]). Writes to protected bits of the GPIO Alternate Function Select
(GPIOAFSEL) register (see page 342), GPIO Pull-Up Select (GPIOPUR) register (see page 348),
and GPIO Digital Enable (GPIODEN) register (see page 351) are not committed to storage unless
the GPIO Lock (GPIOLOCK) register (see page 353) has been unlocked and the appropriate bits
of the GPIO Commit (GPIOCR) register (see page 354) have been set to 1.
Important: All GPIO pins are tri-stated by default (GPIOAFSEL=0, GPIODEN=0, GPIOPDR=0,
and GPIOPUR=0), with the exception of the four JTAG/SWD pins (PC[3:0]). The
JTAG/SWD pins default to their JTAG/SWD functionality (GPIOAFSEL=1, GPIODEN=1
and GPIOPUR=1). A Power-On-Reset (POR) or asserting RST puts both groups of pins
back to their default state.
Caution – It is possible to create a software sequence that prevents the debugger from connecting to
the Stellaris microcontroller. If the program code loaded into flash immediately changes the JTAG pins
to their GPIO functionality, the debugger may not have enough time to connect and halt the controller
before the JTAG pin functionality switches. This may lock the debugger out of the part. This can be
avoided with a software routine that restores JTAG functionality based on an external or software
trigger.

Description
Software should not rely on the value of a reserved bit. To provide
compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be
preserved across a read-modify-write operation.
