+ GPIO controller module provides GPIO-s for the SFP slots. + It is split into 3 controllers, one output only for the SFP TX disable + pins, one input only for the SFP present pins and one input only for + the SFP LOS pins.
Late to the conversation, so i might be asking questions already asked... So the PLD has restrictions? You have a collection of GPOs and a collection of GPIs? You don't have an GPIOs?

Do these names have any real significant? Are you really forced to connect the SFP cage in this dedicated manor? Is there any reason why i cannot use a GPO to control an LED? A GPI for a button? Andrew
