General purpose input-output (GPIO) connector

Radxa Zero has a 40-pin expansion header. Each pin is distinguished by color.

Important note about Pin 35 and Pin 38

Depending on your hardware revision, one of the pin is connected to the Power LED, and is NOT connected on the 40-pin header. If your design uses those pins, please verify the hardware revision before purchasing.

More details about 40-pin Header

  • Pins marked with orange color are designed for debug console.
  • I2C: x3; I2C_EE_M1 (/dev/i2c-1), I2C_EE_M3 (/dev/i2c-3), I2C_AO_M0 (/dev/i2c-4)
  • (*) I2C_EE_M3 / GPIOA_14 & GPIOA_15 are connected to pull up resistors and the USB-C controller so cannot be used for general GPIO
  • PWM: x3; PWMAO_A, PWM_C
  • SPI: x2; SPI_A (/dev/spi0.0), SPI_B(/dev/spi1.0)
  • UART: x3; UART_AO_A (/dev/ttyAML0), UART_AO_B (/dev/ttyAML1), UART_EE_C (/dev/ttyAML4)
  • Pin#22 (GPIOC_7) and Pin#36 (GPIOH_8) are open drain pins. This means for input they need to connected to either GND or VCC (floating state is undefined), for output they will need external pull up. Additionally GPIOH_8 runs on 5V logic.

GPIO number

  • GPIOs are grouped in two banks, GPIO AO domain and GPIO EE domain
    • AO domain: GPIOAO_0 - GPIOAO_11
    • EE domain: GPIOA_14 - GPIOA_15 | GPIOH_0 - GPIOH_8 | GPIOX_0 - GPIOX_19
  • UARTs
    • AO domain: UARTAO_A | UARTAO_B
    • EE domain: UART_A | UART_B | UART_C
GPIO Chip
GPIO Name
Base Offset Formula
First GPIOAO_x 412 0-11 Base + Offset
First GPIOE_x 424 0-2 Base + Offset
Second GPIOZ_x 427 0-15 Base + Offset
Second GPIOH_x 443 0-8 Base + Offset
Second BOOT_x 452 0-15 Base + Offset
Second GPIOC_x 468 0-7 Base + Offset
Second GPIOA_x 476 0-15 Base + Offset
Second GPIOX_x 492 0-19 Base + Offset

Take GPIOX_10 as an example.

The base is 492 and the offset is 10. So the GPIOX_10's GPIO number is 492+10=502.
