Cypress Perform

Answer: No, triggering of the GPIF does not change the state of the unused control lines. This is an advantage in a situation when we are using only a few of the GPIF control lines. Let us say, of the 6 available control lines, we are using only 2 for GPIF and the rest 4 can be used for other purposes. When the GPIF is idle, we can manipulate (enable and drive a value) the state of the unused 4 control lines using the GPIFIDLECTL register. Even when the GPIF is triggered, the unused control lines will retain the value they were initialized to in the GPIFIDLECTL register.
