Arduino Due: toggle open drain GPIO pin

$

I wanted a pin on my Arduino Due to switch between pulling down toward ground and turning off (going high impedance).

I tried using pinMode(x, INPUT);, but there's a bug in the arduino libraries that sets the output high when I switch back to pinMode(x, OUTPUT).  That's no good!

So I read up in the datasheet and found the register that enables open drain mode.  The pinout was also handy so I could see that pin 53 (according to Arduino) is port B, pin 14 according to the ARM chip.

Here's the code snippet.

 // Sketch for Arduino Due that enables open drain mode for pin B14  
void setup() {
pinMode(53, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(53, 0);
// Enable open drain mode on pin 14 of port B using the Multi-Driver Enable Register
REG_PIOB_MDER = 1 << 14;
// To switch it back to a normal output:
// REG_PIOB_MDDR = 1 << 14;
}
void loop() {
// Turn on B14 (should be about equivalent to digitalWrite(53, 1))
REG_PIOB_SODR = 1 << 14;
// Pause 1ms so it's easy to see on the scope
delay(1);
// Turn off B14
REG_PIOB_CODR = 1 << 14;
// Pause 2ms
delay(2);
}
