Hello, I got my UDOO X86_64, loaded with Fedora 27, and I am trying to work with GPIO pins. I should also mention that I have never worked with GPIO before. Please note, that most advices about controlling GPIOs from OS are not applicable to me. 'sysfs' kernel module (the one that allows you to go to /sys/class/gpio/... ) is broken and has been deprecated time ago. A new kernel module handling GPIOs is now used. It allows you to work with GPIOs as a character devices in /dev/gpiochip0 (/dev/gpiochip1, ...). I made a good progress using this way, as showed here: https://github.com/FaramosCZ/UDOO/blob/gpio/gpio_3.c I can set and read the pins. Also the libgpiod tools confirm the settings I'm doing. The problem is very simple. I have *zero* idea, which pin is accessible from where. Here is the output from 'gpioinfo' tool from 'libgpiod': I trucnated all line numbers in between. (it has ~200 rows in total) gpiochip4 - 3 lines: line 0: unnamed unused output active-high line 1: unnamed unused output active-high line 2: unnamed "ACPI:Event" input active-high [kernel] gpiochip3 - 55 lines: line 0: unnamed unused output active-high line 1: unnamed unused output active-high . . . line 54: unnamed unused input active-high gpiochip2 - 24 lines: line 0: unnamed unused input active-high line 1: unnamed unused input active-high . . . line 23: unnamed unused input active-high gpiochip1 - 59 lines: line 0: unnamed unused input active-high line 1: unnamed unused input active-high line 2: unnamed unused output active-high line 3: unnamed unused input active-high . . . line 58: unnamed unused input active-high gpiochip0 - 56 lines: line 0: unnamed unused output active-high line 1: unnamed unused output active-high . . . line 55: unnamed unused input active-high I can set all of them, but I don't know which lines are mapped to which pins on board. I tried to set every line 0 and 1 from every chip to '0' and '1' values and measure the voltage between them. I measured the GPIO0 and GPIO1 difference, connected as here: https://www.udoo.org/docs-x86/img/x86_pinout_arduino.png Since they are the first 2 arduino pins, I should've found them. But no success so far. Can someone help me with this one?
Firstly, when using Braswell GPIO you are not accessing the arduino pins but the outer pins: https://www.udoo.org/docs-x86/img/x86_pinout_braswell.png
UDOO x86 actually is two computers in one: Intel X86 (Braswell CPU) and Arduino (Intel Curie.) They are independent with each other. Braswell's GPIO pins are in outer columns of these two-columns connectors (see post 2 picture.) Arduino 101's are in inner connectors.
Ok, I understand the difference now. Thanks for clarification. However the question more or less remains. How can I interact with the Braswell CPU pins and how do I find which is where? (also, can I use *any* of them to play with? They are "general purpose" after all, right)
Probably ask the author of that Kernel Module or read the Intel Braswell hardware reference manual yourself.
