Overview

This How-To is meant to be a starting point for people to learn use GPIOs for IGEP v2 devices as quickly and easily as possible. For this how-to i used Linaro Headless, Ubuntu 10.04 with Linaro Toolchain, IGEP v2 RC5 and GPIO driver wrote by Dave Hylands. There are more ways to use GPIOs in IGEP v2, but this one is simple and reliable.

Feedback and Contributing

At any point, if you see a mistake you can contribute to this How-To.

Compile GPIO driver source code

Download source code from author website using the next command:

wget -r -np  http://svn.hylands.org/linux/gpio/

Due the Makefiles are wrote for Gumstix SDK, it is necessary change some constants to our Host. There are:

$/svn.hylands.org/linux/gpio/app/Makefile

$/svn.hylands.org/linux/gpio/lib/Makefile

Search lines:

OVEROTOP	?= /home/gumstix/overo-oe
CROSS_COMPILE	?= $(OVEROTOP)/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/armv7a/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-

Replace by, your cross compiler path, for example:

OVEROTOP	?= /
CROSS_COMPILE	?= $(OVEROTOP)/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-

$/svn.hylands.org/linux/gpio/modules/Makefile

Search lines:

OVEROTOP	?= /home/gumstix/overo-oe
#CROSS_COMPILE	?= $(OVEROTOP)/tmp/cross/armv7a/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-
CROSS_COMPILE	?= $(OVEROTOP)/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/armv7a/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-
KERNEL_PATH     ?= ../../../../../gumstix/overo-oe/tmp/sysroots/overo-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/kernel
ARCH		?= arm

Replace by, your cross compiler path, for example:

OVEROTOP	?= /
#CROSS_COMPILE	?= $(OVEROTOP)/tmp/cross/armv7a/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-
CROSS_COMPILE	?= $(OVEROTOP)//usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-
KERNEL_PATH     ?= ../../../../../<your kernel path used>
ARCH		?= arm

Change ../../../../../<your kernel path used> for your kernel source path

Install binaries


Testing driver
