RE: AT91 GPIO read problem

No, I didn't even know there was a GPIO subsystem that needs a clock, but now I know that fixed it:
HAL_WRITE_UINT32 (AT91_PMC + AT91_PMC_PCER, AT91_PMC_PCER_PIOA);
Thanks Andrew, there is only brief mention of it in the 757 page AT91SAM7 manual, so it might have taken me awhile to chance upon it.

Steven
