Hi Tobias,
To me it sounds like we are discussing about commercial product
(predefined internal flash fw) v/s prototype (we want to play with
settings at runtime with ease).
Let us assume a GPx pin is configured as input and pulled up in
hardware board originally. A microcontroller's GPIO is configured as
output and connected to this GPx on MCP2221.
MCP2221 (GPx, input, pulled up) <----------- (output, no pull up/down)
STM32 Microcontroller
1. The STM32 Microcontroller drives this pin and set it to logic low
2. Driver using this patch configure this GPIO on mcp2221 end as
output and drives it to logic high
It is like two devices trying to drive same (physical wire) GPIO pin
at the same time. How we plan to handle this.
Will the GPx side will fuse or malfunction because of infinite current flow ?
Regards,
Rishi
