You'll need a HAL driver for your GPIO pins.  Once you have that it 
should be easy, just connect the output of the software step generator 
to the GPIO pins instead of to parallel port pins.

I have no idea what drivers are already available for ARM GPIOs, or for 
your specific board.  It may be that a driver exists that you can use, 
or it may be that you'd have to write one yourself.

If you write one, please contribute it back!
