PWM and GPIO on NANO54415

Hello,
I am planning to get a NANO54415 development board for a quadcopter project. Question is how can I use the PWM and GPIO functionalities (to control RC servoes and read switches respectively) on the development platform. Will it be necessary to interface the board with some external driver chip or these functionalities can be accessed directly? If GPIO is uses directly what is the maximum current allowed? What is the maximum frequency of PWM which can be used?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

I've used the nano to drive RC things.
You can use the 8 pwm outputs to directly drive servos.
But you loose some other functionality as the pwm pins have other functions and they can only do one thing at a time.
(The big loss is one of the Uarts)
