(please contribute with this article)__TOC__== Overview ==
(suggestion: how This How-To is meant to handle gpios be a starting point for people to learn use GPIOs for IGEP devices as quickly and configure mux) easily as possible.
ExampleThere are more ways to use GPIOs. This article show two simple ways to use gpios:[[What can I do with IGEP0020#How to handle the gpiobash commandline and C-LED's]]code.
For this How-To I used [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/IGEP_firmware_Yocto IGEP firmware Yocto] === Feedback and Contributing ===At any point, if you see a mistake you can contribute to this How-To. Edit yourself ! == Requirements ==For this How-to, I used:* IGEPv2 Board * Only for C-program example it also needed:** Add shortcircuit cable between J990:20 and J990:22 pins. By default, GPIO 156 (J990:20) and GPIO 157 (J990:22) are available on these J990 pins. Another boards tested:  *IGEP COM MODULE *IGEP COM AQUILA == How to chek an GPIO == The gpio-int-test.c program shows one way of using the sysfs file /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/value to block program execution using poll() until the input level on GPIOXX changes. [[CategoryFile:Work in progressGPIO_TEST.tar]] == Bash commandline ==Basic gpio operations could be done using bash and sysfs :* Export GPIOs <pre>echo "GPIO number NN" > /sys/class/gpio/export</pre>** For example: '''echo "156" > /sys/class/gpio/export'''<br><br>* Unexport GPIOs <pre>echo "GPIO number NN" > /sys/class/gpio/unexport</pre> * Set GPIO direction <pre>echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpioNN/direction</pre>** For example: '''echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio156/direction'''<br><br>* Set GPIO value <pre>echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpioNN/value</pre>* Get GPIO value <pre>cat /sys/class/gpio/gpioNN/value</pre>* Configure hardware interrupts <pre>echo "rising" > /sys/class/gpio/gpioNN/edge</pre>  == C-program Example == C-program Example contains some C-functions to control GPIOs. These also can do:* Export and unexport GPIOs* Set GPIO direction * Set GPIO value * Get GPIO value * Configure hardware interrupts Example program configures a GPIO to wait a hardware interrupt. Once the GPIO value change from 0 value to 1 value (rising), program gives you a message. === Compile example program ===[http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/How_to_setup_a_cross_compiler#Download.2FInstall_IGEP_SDK Download an Install] IGEP SDK if you don't have it. First of all you need to initialize a suitable environment in the bash shell console inside your machine. <br> You can do this sourcing once the environment-setup script. <pre>jdoe@ubuntu ~ $ source /opt/poky/1.2/environment-setup-armv7a-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi </pre>  * Download [Categoryhttp:Communications]//labs.isee.biz/images/6/69/Gpio_examplebeta1.tar.bz2 source code]* Extract source code* Build source code: Cross toolchain tools are available into the built-in virtual machine Poky SDK. You only need open bash terminal prompt and write command: <pre>jdoe@ubuntu ~/Desktop $ arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o gpio_example gpio_examplebeta1.c</pre> * Copy binary file to IGEP Board === Execute program ===Open a remote terminal and locate your program binary, execute program and pass like a parameter 157 value (GPIO 157):<pre>root@igep00x0:~# ./gpio_example 157 </pre>Result will be:<pre>root@igep00x0:~# ./gpio_example 157gpio/direction: No such file or directory poll() GPIO 157 interrupt occurred............. </pre> === Generate interrupts ===Open a second remote terminal and type:<pre>cd /sys/class/gpio/echo 156 > export cd gpio156/ echo out > directionecho 0 > valueecho 1 > value</pre> === Result ===At first remote terminal you should read a message similar like this:<pre>poll() GPIO 157 interrupt occurred </pre>
