LPC24xx:
For GPIO port pins, does the PINMODE pull up/down setting also have effect when the pin is configured not for GPIO, but for other functions?
The manual says "The PINMODE registers control the on-chip pull-up/pull-down resistor feature for all GPIO ports."
I'm not sure if this means GPIO-accessible ports in general or only ports actually configured for GPIO function.

The PINMODE setting is independent of the PINSEL setting. The pull-ups/-downs can be used for instance when the pin is used as UART RX line.

I tested PINMODE setting on OLIMEX LPC-2478STK board.
Results as below.

PIN PINSEL PINMODE result
--------------------------------
P0.3 RXD0 pull-up -> work well
pull-down -> work well
neither pull-up nor pull-down -> work well
---------------------

why ? PINMODE is not effective ?
Please any advice.

what do you think should have happened in your test ?
What does "work well" mean ? That your communication is still working as expected ?
Have you already googled for the purpose of a pull-up or pull-down ?
