The FreeRTOS demo application illustrates the corresponding APIs through controlling of the LEDs and Push-Buttons available on the carrier board.

1. Understanding FreeRTOS GPIO Interfaces

1.1. FreeRTOS GPIO Implementation

The FreeRTOS BSP makes use of the STM32CubeH7 software component to provide a device driver for the STM32H7 GPIO. The driver is configured (enabled / disabled) at the BSP build time, using the HAL_GPIO_MODULE_ENABLED configuration option, defined in the stm32h7xx_hal_conf.h file.

1.2. FreeRTOS GPIO C-Binding API

The GPIO driver implements the following C-binding API:

...

typedef struct {
    uint32_t Pin;    /* GPIO pins to be configured */
    uint32_t Mode;   /* Operating mode for the selected pins */
    uint32_t Pull;   /* Pull-up or Pull-Down activation for the selected pins */
    uint32_t Speed;  /* Speed for the selected pins */
    uint32_t Alternate;/* Peripheral to be connected to the selected pin */
} GPIO_InitTypeDef;

1.3. FreeRTOS LED and Push-Button Tasks

The FreeRTOS demos application provides two threads illustrating use of the GPIO API from a FreeRTOS application. Specifically:
