Contribution description
The GPIO peripheral of the sam0 MCUs have a feature where they can read back the output level of a GPIO as if the GPIO was in input. (As opposed to the currently implemented mode where
gpio_read()just returns the configured register value).This can be useful to detect hardware defects.
The drawback is slightly higher power draw (according to the data sheet, didn't measure), so guard this behind the
periph_gpio_read_output, just likeperiph_gpio_fast_read.Testing procedure
The GPIO test application
tests/periph/gpiohas been updated to make use of the feature when available.Issues/PRs references
