IO pins on custom expansion board

Dan_55

Hello,
I'm creating a custom expansion board with IO and PWM pins only. In order for it to work I need to add a new config file for the firmware. Do I have to change anything else except the pin table?
So for example, if I'd like to add an IO number 9, I change this:

	//	TC					TCC					ADC					SERCOM in			SERCOM out	  Exint PinName
	// Port A
	{ TcOutput::none,	TccOutput::none,	AdcInput::none,		SercomIo::none,		SercomIo::none,		Nx,	nullptr		},	// PA00 driver2 DIR

to this:

	//	TC					TCC					ADC					SERCOM in			SERCOM out	  Exint PinName
	// Port A
	{ TcOutput::none,	TccOutput::none,	AdcInput::none,		SercomIo::none,		SercomIo::none,		9,	io9.out		},	// PA00

And I'm done, right?

That should be sufficient to create a new output pin without PWM capability.

@dc42 Thank you!
Could you explain what should I do to add a PWM capable pin?
I'm making a new board based on the 1LC setup.

To add a PWM enabled output you need to pick a pin that the datasheet shows can be connected to a TC[n].WO[m] pin for some n and m, with the following constraints:

the TC or TCC must not already be used for another PWM output
if it is a TC then m cannot be zero
if it is a TC then it must not be one of the pair of TCs used for step pulse generation

After picking the pin, put the appropriate entry in the TC or TCC column of that row of the pin table. See the existing entries for e.g. pin out0 as examples.
