Systems and methods for controlling multi-function general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins in a management controller stack, such as a baseboard management controller (BMC) stack. The system includes a management controller, which includes multiple pins. The management controller provides multiple functionalities, and each of the functionalities is related to at least one of the pins. In operation, the management controller provides a graphic user interface, which shows the functionalities, allowing the user to input an instruction to select one of the functionalities. Upon receiving the selected functionality, for each of the pins related to the selected functionality, the management controller sets a value of a corresponding register to indicate a functional status of the pin, such that the pins may provide the selected functionality based on the value of the corresponding registers.
