/**
* @defgroup IO HAL
* @brief Hardware Abstraction Layer.
* @details Under ChibiOS/RT the set of the various device driver interfaces
* is called the HAL subsystem: Hardware Abstraction Layer.<br>
* A device driver is usually split in two layers:
* - High Level Device Driver (<b>HLD</b>). This layer contains the definitions
* of the driver's APIs and the platform independent part of the driver.<br>
* An HLD is composed by two files:
* - @<driver@>.c, the HLD implementation file. This file must be
* included in the Makefile in order to use the driver.
* - @<driver@>.h, the HLD header file. This file is implicitly
* included by the HAL header file @p hal.h.
* .
* - Low Level Device Driver (<b>LLD</b>). This layer contains the platform
* dependent part of the driver.<br>
* A LLD is composed by two files:
* - @<driver@>_lld.c, the LLD implementation file. This file must be
* included in the Makefile in order to use the driver.
* - @<driver@>_lld.h, the LLD header file. This file is implicitly
* included by the HLD header file.
* .
* The LLD may be not present in those drivers that do not access the
* hardware directly but through other device drivers, as example the
* @ref MMC_SPI driver uses the @ref SPI and @ref PAL drivers in order
* to implement its functionalities.
* .
* <h2>Available Device Drivers</h2>
* The I/O subsystem currently includes support for:
* - @ref HAL.
* - @ref PAL.
* - @ref SERIAL.
* - @ref ADC.
* - @ref CAN.
* - @ref MAC.
* - @ref MMC_SPI.
* - @ref SPI.
* .

/**
* @defgroup PAL PAL Driver
* @brief I/O Ports Abstraction Layer
* @details This module defines an abstract interface for digital I/O ports.
* Note that most I/O ports functions are just macros. The macros
* have default software implementations that can be redefined in a
* @ref PAL_LLD if the target hardware supports special features like, as
* example, atomic bit set/reset/masking. Please refer to the ports specific
* documentation for details.<br>
* The @ref PAL has the advantage to make the access to the I/O ports platform
* independent and still be optimized for the specific architectures.<br>
* Note that the @ref PAL_LLD may also offer non standard macro and functions
* in order to support specific features but, of course, the use of such
* interfaces would not be portable. Such interfaces shall be marked with
* the architecture name inside the function names.
*
* <h2>Implementation Rules</h2>
* In implementing an @ref PAL_LLD there are some rules/behaviors that
* should be respected.
*
* <h3>Writing on input pads</h3>
* The behavior is not specified but there are implementations better than
* others, this is the list of possible implementations, preferred options
* are on top:
* -# The written value is not actually output but latched, should the pads
* be reprogrammed as outputs the value would be in effect.
* -# The write operation is ignored.
* -# The write operation has side effects, as example disabling/enabling
* pull up/down resistors or changing the pad direction. This scenario is
* discouraged, please try to avoid this scenario.
* .
* <h3>Reading from output pads</h3>
* The behavior is not specified but there are implementations better than
* others, this is the list of possible implementations, preferred options
* are on top:
* -# The actual pads states are read (not the output latch).
* -# The output latch value is read (regardless of the actual pads states).
* -# Unspecified, please try to avoid this scenario.
* .
* <h3>Writing unused or unimplemented port bits</h3>
* The behavior is not specified.
*
* <h3>Reading from unused or unimplemented port bits</h3>
* The behavior is not specified.
*
* <h3>Reading or writing on pins associated to other functionalities</h3>
* The behavior is not specified.
*
* <h2>Usage</h2>
* The use of I/O ports requires the inclusion of the header file @p pal.h,
* this file is not automatically included @p ch.h like the other header
* files.
