With recent Linux kernel (> 2.6.3x), there is an abstraction layer meant to ease GPIO usage: gpiolib. We will explain here how to use it.
Contents
Installation
- If not already done:
$ make linux26-menuconfig
Device Drivers --->
-*- GPIO Support --->
[*] /sys/class/gpio/... (sysfs interface)
$ make
- reflash your kernel (if needed)
Usage
Blink APFxxDev i.MX LED
- Find the GPIO number connected to the LED, eg:
- for APF27Dev: PF14 -> PortF (n°6) pin 14 -> (6-1)*32 + 14 -> GPIO n°174
- for APF51Dev: GPIO1_2 -> Port 1 pin 2 -> GPIO n° 2
- Define envt variable (for portability):
# export LED=174 (APF27Dev) or # export LED=2 (APF51Dev)
- Ask kernel to export the GPIO:
# echo $LED > /sys/class/gpio/export
- Access functions are created:
# ls /sys/class/gpio/gpio$LED/ active_low edge subsystem value direction power uevent
- Check GPIO direction and put in output:
# cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio$LED/direction in # echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$LED/direction # cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio$LED/direction out
- Play with GPIO value to blink LED:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$LED/value # echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$LED/value
Get APFxxDev i.MX switch status
- Find the GPIO number connected to the switch, eg:
- for APF27Dev: PF15 -> PortF (n°6) pin 15 -> (6-1)*32 + 15 -> GPIO n°175
- for APF51Dev: GPIO1_3 -> Port 1 pin 3 -> GPIO n°3 ((1-1)*32 + 3)
- Define envt variable (for portability):
# export LED=175 (APF27Dev) or # export LED=3 (APF51Dev)
- Ask kernel to export the GPIO:
# echo $LED > /sys/class/gpio/export
- Access functions are created:
# ls /sys/class/gpio/gpio$LED/ active_low edge subsystem value direction power uevent
- Check GPIO direction and put in output:
# cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio$LED/direction in
- Get switch status:
# cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio$LED/value 1 (released) ... # cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio$LED/value 0 (pressed)
