Re: BL2100 Expansion headers (LCD) to add extra IOs

It sounds like you can not use the Aux IO, but use the A0-A3 address lines to indicate write and read and also which chip to read/write.  Then just use the PE7 to enable the corresponding chip?  AuxIO would do so much of the work for you so it is much easier to realize.


In essence, it does not sound too bad but not sure.  


Also afraid if the SW will interfere somehow with the existing board.

External I/O is no different than aux I/O, just uses a different bus. No
difference in software other than not enabling aux I/O.

There is a global aux I/O control in SPCR. Should not need to be changed.

There is no I/O read or write line, that makes it more complicated. You
can use some address as read only and others as write only.
