 It seems to me that unused GPIO pins can stay float. However, earlier questions made me less confident. 
 Is firmware setting is enough? 
 Thanks,

The default works fine for that. In a finished and released product good engineering practice would be to tie unused pins to ground and explicitly set them to high impedence&amp;nbsp;(even though that is the default). The defaults work fine but when you&amp;#39;re done with a design it&amp;#39;s good practice to tie every pin somewhere and explicitly initialise it&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
