GPIO status can be monitored by reading a register and system controller can take appropriate actions based on that. There are also GPIO related 4CC commands that can be used by system controller to alter GPIO behavior.
Status Register
4CC Commands
Status register and 4CC command capabilities of TPS6598x Application Customization tool provides a way to test and modify GPIO configurations of a real system. GPIO configurations can be changed on-the-fly over I2C bus to try new settings quickly. Once the expected system behavior is confirmed, appropriate GPIO configurations can be implemented through the system controller processor.
