+Description:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ As a Kconfig option, individual GPIO signals may be accessed from
|
|
|
+ userspace. GPIOs are only made available to userspace by an explicit
|
|
|
+ "export" operation. If a given GPIO is not claimed for use by
|
|
|
+ kernel code, it may be exported by userspace (and unexported later).
|
|
|
+ Kernel code may export it for complete or partial access.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ GPIOs are identified as they are inside the kernel, using integers in
|
|
|
+ the range 0..INT_MAX. See Documentation/gpio.txt for more information.

+ /export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace

|
+ /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N
|
|
|
+ /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
|
|
|
+ /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write: high, low

+ /gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO

|
+ /base ... (r/o) same as N
|
|
|
+ /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
|
|
|
+ /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N to N + (ngpio - 1)
