* @details This module defines an abstract interface for digital I/O ports.
* Note that no code is present, I/O ports are just a set of macros that must
* be implemented by an @ref IOPortsLLD.<br>
+ * This system has the advantage to make the access to I/O ports platform
+ * independent from the implementation logic.<br>
* Currently the I/O ports interface does not handle physical port programming
* like direction, pull up/down resistors etc. The interface only allows input
- * and output operations but this may change in future releases.

* In implementing an @ref IOPortsLLD there are some rules/behaviors that
