What is the maximum current the MT3620 GPIO pins can output?

Question

What is the maximum current the MT3620 GPIOs pins can output? All the pis provide the same current? Can you configure any of the pins to have high drive strength (i.e 20-mA)?

MT36230 GPIOs can be configured for higher drive strengths (per the MT3620 M4 Datasheet document which is available via NDA).

I recommend this type of question be asked on the MSDN Azure Sphere support forum, where specialist resources from Microsoft can advise, as configuring of output drive strengths is not currently accessible from Azure Sphere OS.

Hi, clem57 , thanks for the link. I don't see any indication of high-drive GPIOs support in that repository, nor at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-sphere/hardware/mt3620-product-status, nor at https://github.com/Azure/azure-sphere-samples I only found this table at https://d86o2zu8ugzlg.cloudfront.net/mediatek-craft/documents/mt3620/MediaTek-MT3620-Product-Brief-Nov2018.pdf

My understanding is that drive-strengths are configurable from the M4 code. I'd suggest besides the OS feature request, also request support for the M4-based settings in the MSDN forum
