SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VERIFYING GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT OUTPUT FUNCTIONS
A system to verify the correct functioning of general purpose input output (GPIO) pins includes a main device and a processing chip. The main device stores a processing program, an executing program, and at least one predetermined value in relation to at least one GPIO parameter. The executing program is copied to a detection device and the processing program generates a mirror image document after compiling. The mirror image document is burned into the processing chip which is executed after the detection device is started. The executing program is executed as the processing chip is started. The executing program reads at least one actual GPIO value and verifies whether the at least one GPIO of the detection device is failed upon non-matching of the predetermined parametric value with the at least one GPIO actual value. A method to verify the correct functioning of the GPIO pins is also provided.
