fitlet GPIO SDK for Linux
Installation
1. Download the custom kernel image and headers <LINK_TO_DEB_FILES_HERE> to the fitlet.
2. Open the terminal and install the new linux-*.deb packages:
$ sudo dpkg -i /path/to/linux-*.deb
3. Reboot the system:
$ sudo reboot -f
fitlet GPIO
(based on http://droid/mirror/mediawiki/index.php/CM-iGT:_Linux:_Mint#GPIO)
1. GPIO interface on fitlet consists of 9 I/Os provided by AMD FCH (Fusion Controller Hub) 2. The responsible kernel module is gpio_fch 3. The kernel modules uses the following pin naming convention:
P-1, GPIO89 P-2, GPIO132 P-3, GPIO65 P-4, GPIO66 P-5, GPIO29 Vout 1.5V P-8, GPIO73 P-9, GPIO27 Vout 1.5V P-10, GPIO28 Vout 1.5V P-11, GPIO12
4. The GPIO sysfs interface allows users to manipulate any GPIO from userspace dynamically. 5. A basic example of GPIO usage (as root user):
$ modprobe fch_gpio $ echo 89 > /sys/class/gpio/export $ echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio89/direction $ echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio89/value ## at this point voltage measuring on P-1 should give 3.3V $ echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio89/value ## at this point voltage measuring on P-1 should give 0.0V $ echo 89 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
6. The source code of gpio_fch driver <LINK_TO_DIFF_FILE_HERE> 7. The GPIO framework and GPIO sysfs interface are documented in Linux Kernel Documentation
