Overview

The Nuclei LGPIO (Logic general-purpose I/Os) describes the operation of the Logic General Purpose Input/Output Controller(LGPIO). The LGPIO controller is a peripheral device mapped in the internal memory map. Each port bit of the General Purpose I/O(GPIO) Ports, can be individually configured by software in several modes(direction, pull up-enable, drive value and so on), as well as selecting between various sources of the controls for these signals(HW I/O Function).

Key features

  • Output states: push-pull or open-drain + pull-up/down
  • Output data from output data register (GPIOx_OVAL) or peripheral (alternate function output)
  • Input states: floating, pull-up/down
  • Input data to input data register (GPIOx_IVAL) or peripheral (alternate function input)
  • Bit operate agilely for each GPIO
    • Bit set (GPIOx_BIT_SET register)
    • Bit reset (GPIOx_BIT_RESET register)
    • Bit toggle (GPIOx_BIT_TOGGLE register)
  • Locking mechanism (GPIOx_MASK) provided to freeze the I/O port oval
  • Highly flexible pin multiplexing allows the use of I/O pins as GPIOs or as one of several peripheral functions

A Generic Solution to GPIO verification

This paper provides a complete solution to the GPIO Verification for any SoC. GPIO interface is available in every ASIC. To avoid duplicate efforts and (save) time to verify the GPIO interface, we have produced this Generic GPIO verification suite. It is a UVM-based verification environment, with all the necessary subcomponents that are required to verify any GPIO design.

Ensuring reliability in Advanced IC design

To complete our task as engineers we rely on the tools we use. We collaborated with Siemens EDA solutions back in 2025 on a webinar about how we use their tools to develop our designs and layouts.

Integrating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) on Arty-Z7

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is moving from theory to engineering reality. With NIST-standardized algorithms ML-KEM (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA (FIPS 204) now finalized, FPGA developers face a practical challenge: How to integrate these algorithms efficiently on resource-constrained hardware?

From I2C to I3C: Evolution of Two-Wire Communication in Embedded Systems

The I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) Bus invented in 1980 by Philips Semiconductors (NXP Semiconductors today) was a massive step forward in simplifying communications in embedded systems. It is a simple two-wire interface for synchronous, multi-master/multi-slave, single ended serial communication. Fast forward 45 years to today and it is still widely used for attaching low speed peripheral Integrated Circuits (ICs), processors and microcontrollers. But silicon today has changed...
