What is the difference between configure and configure_dt?

[Faws]

Hello!

While looking at examples and trying to work on the nRF52832 with sdk 1.8.0 I am noticing there are varied uses of functions with and without the _dt at the end. For example, when configuring a pin you can do gpio_pin_configure, which requires some parameters. Or you can do gpio_pin_configure_dt, which requires other set of inputs.

My qustion is: what is the difference between these functions?

Thank you.

Hello!

Both those functions are described in the Zephyr documentation:

https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/reference/peripherals/gpio.html

The gpio_pin_configure_dt function takes a gpio_dt_spec struct as input, which contains the variables you would normally input to the gpio_pin_configure function.

According to the documentation they are equivalent, the input is just formatted differently.

Best regards,
