Get the Drive mode for an output pin

RE: Get the Drive mode for an output pin

I was responding to the poster's comment that there is no method in the API to get/set a pin's output drive mode independently -- which is why they had to write it themselves.

I am so confused on why Nordic decided not to finish writing their GPIO driver code. Seems like a fairly basic task.

Hi Ray

As we build the nRF Connect SDK on Zephyr, the drive state for the GPIO is set in the devicetree.
It should be possible to get the drive state from the devicetree by using GPIO_DT_SPEC_GET.

See attached file for how to get the drive state from a modified blinky sample.

Is this what you were looking for?
