23:58hossein1387 Because in the schematic of GPIO the xor is in the pin data path, in other words, you have the option to invert the pin value by hardware, you can obviously do the same thing in software

29:23hossein1387 I think it is because of performance, because bit operation in C needs a couple of instructions to do the same thing while you can just setup a register to do that for you in hardware

33:05hossein1387 IOFs are to set the functionality of the pin. Because you just have a few physical pins on your chip, you can't have a pin to do only GPIO or UART or SPI or PWM. So the IOF selects what functionality you want from that pin

42:08hossein1387 No, the output is only 0 or 3.3/5 (digital). The PWM is just a pulse wave but you can tell it how long to be on or off. This way the average out put is no longer 0 or 5 but anything in between

1:01:12hossein1387 Okay, so for the pin to detect 1 in binary the pin voltage should be within a threshold, say 3v-3.3v; for binary 0 it should be between 0v-0.5v and the in between voltage is not valid. Meaning any binary value can be assigned
