.. _button-sample: Button ###### .. admonition:: Downstream Copy! :class: note This sample is a copy from Zephyr with identical name and will be used for further development, improvement and preparation of changes for Zephyr within Bridle. However, the original sample still lives within the Zephyr namespace under the exactly same name: :zephyr:code-sample:`button`. Overview ******** A simple button demo showcasing the use of GPIO input using a dedicated polling thread, spawned by an init function. Alternatively, it can be configured to use interrupts instead. In either mode, pressing the button will light up an led. Requirements ************ The board hardware must have a push button connected via a GPIO pin. These are called "User buttons" on many of Zephyr's :external+zephyr:ref:`boards` and Bridle's :ref:`boards`. The button must be configured using the :dts:`sw0` :zephyr:ref:`devicetree ` alias, usually in the :zephyr:ref:`BOARD.dts file `. You will see this error if you try to build this sample for an unsupported board: .. parsed-literal:: :class: highlight-none notranslate **Unsupported board**: ``sw0`` devicetree alias is **not defined** You may see additional build errors if the :dts:`sw0` alias exists, but is not properly defined. Additionally, the sample requires the :dts:`led0` devicetree alias. Devicetree details ================== This section provides more details on devicetree configuration. Here is a minimal devicetree fragment which supports this sample, containing both an :dts:`sw0` and an :dts:`led0` alias: .. code-block:: devicetree / { aliases { sw0 = &user_button; led0 = &user_lamp; }; soc { gpio0: gpio@0 { status = "okay"; gpio-controller; #gpio-cells = <2>; /* ... */ }; }; buttons { compatible = "gpio-keys"; user_button: gpio0_button { gpios = <__GPIO_CTRL_NODE__ __PIN__ __FLAGS__>; label = "User button"; }; /* ... other buttons ... */ }; leds { compatible = "gpio-leds"; user_lamp: gpio0_led { gpios = <&gpio0 10 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; label = "User LD1"; }; /* ... other leds ... */ }; .. rubric:: As shown: - the :dts:`sw0 = &user_button;` :zephyr:ref:`devicetree alias ` must point to a child node of a node with a :dtcompatible:`gpio-keys` :zephyr:ref:`compatible `, and - the :dts:`led0 = &user_lamp;` :zephyr:ref:`devicetree alias ` must point to a child node of one with a :dtcompatible:`gpio-leds` :zephyr:ref:`compatible `. .. rubric:: The above situation is for the common case where: - :dts:`__GPIO_CTRL_NODE__` should be a reference to a node label of class GPIO controller, e.g. in node :dts:`user_lamp: gpio0_led {/* … */};` the reference :dts:`gpios = <&gpio0 /* … */>` uses the example node label :dts:`gpio0:` and points to the given GPIO controller - :dts:`__PIN__` should be a pin number, like :dts:`8` or :dts:`0`, see :dts:`user_lamp:` for an example - :dts:`__FLAGS__` should be a logical OR of :zephyr:ref:`GPIO configuration flags ` meant to apply to the button, such as :dts:`(GPIO_PULL_UP | GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW)`, see :dts:`user_lamp:` for an example .. rubric:: Required devicetree bindings: This assumes the common case, where is :dts:`#gpio-cells = <2>` in the :dts:`gpio0:` node, and that the :zephyr:ref:`GPIO controller's devicetree binding ` declares those two cells :yaml:`pin` and :yaml:`flags` in :yaml:`gpio-cells` like so: .. code-block:: yaml properties: "#gpio-cells": type: int required: true const: 2 gpio-cells: - pin - flags This sample requires a :yaml:`pin` cell in the :dts:`gpios` property. The :yaml:`flags` cell is optional, however, and the sample still works if the GPIO cells do not contain :yaml:`flags`. This assumes the common case, where the :dts:`gpios = <&gpio0 /* … */>` property in the :dts:`user_button:` and :dts:`user_lamp:` child nodes reflects an :zephyr:ref:`GPIO keys and leds devicetree binding ` similar like so: .. code-block:: yaml child-binding: properties: gpios: type: phandle-array required: true Building and Running ******************** This sample can be built for multiple boards, in this example we will build it for the |zephyr:board:nucleo_f413zh| board: #. polling thread .. zephyr-app-commands:: :app: bridle/samples/button :board: nucleo_f413zh :build-dir: nucleo_f413zh-button-poll :conf: prj-poll.conf :west-args: -p :goals: flash :compact: #. interrupt callback .. zephyr-app-commands:: :app: bridle/samples/button :board: nucleo_f413zh :build-dir: nucleo_f413zh-button-event :conf: prj-event.conf :west-args: -p :goals: flash :compact: During startup, an init function look up predefined GPIO devices, and configures their pins in input and output mode, respectively. Depending on the build configuration, an additional init function either spawns a dedicated polling thread which continuously monitors the button state and adjusts the led state to match, or sets up an interrupt that does the same whenever the button is pressed or released.
