  2.   Revision History

2.13 External Interrupt (EXTINTn)

This signal is active high for PG1.0 and active low for PG2.x. Boards designed to support all silicon revisions may want contain population options for both in case you move between different revisions of the AM335x during development. New designs are expected to use only PG2.1.

This signal connects directly to the Cortex-A8 interrupt controller, which as a result makes this a level sensitive pin. It is recommended to consider using a GPIO signal instead of EXTINTn. The GPIO pins offer more flexibility with respect to polarity as well as the ability to be edge triggered.
