The pyA20 gpio library is quite famous when people start to play with gpios , spi or i2c on sunxi boards but mapping needs often adjustments to work on your own board. This situation is not really friendly for 'beginners'.  pyGPIO should help to make armbian a little bit more 'IoT friendly'. :)

I didn't touch the 'backbone' of pyA20, so the syntax should be similar to its original (except pinname when using port instead of connector). 

 

How can I use this library:

Cause all of this boards have (more or less) the same pinheader (sometimes other pins are deployed on the pinheader) pyGPIO tries to unify the mappings, so that code can be shared and deployed on all boards without touching the code. The mapping follows the pin naming of the RaspberryPi (it's not because I think their naming is perfect, but it should be the easiest way to port code from the 'RPi world' to Armbian.

mapping_small.thumb.png.4b17fe118586840c19c212358a412f6a.png

What is done:

-Initial support for:

  • OrangePi Zero/PcPlus/Lite/Plus2E
  • NanoPi Duo(with and without Minishield)/Neo
  • Olimex Lime/Lime2/Micro (pins are not renamed PG10,PG11 etc. instead of GPIO2, GPIO3 etc. cause those boards doesn't have a 'RPi Pinheader'
  • Templates for 24,26 and 40 'RPi compatible' pin header

-Board detection (when using Armbian) to check if your board is supported

-Manual assignment when your board is not supported (yet) or automatic board detection fails

 

What is not done:

  • Testing
  • testing
  • testing!
  • Documentation
  • Meaningful examples (still the originals from olimex which wouldn't work anymore)

 

What do you need to test the Library:

You need python-dev and the Library which you'll find on my GitHub page. The installation should be easy, just follow the instructions...  ;)

sudo apt-get install python-dev
git clone https://github.com/chwe17/pyGPIO.git
cd pyGPIO
sudo python setup.py install

 

Testing is the part where I need help. I don't have most of the boards which are supported (only OPi0 and OPi Pc Plus). I tested I2C and GPIO on the OPi0, for all the rest, I need you as testers, bug hunters, and feedback.

 

Here are two short python snippets which should do the exact same thing (once with connector, you have to run them as root or with sudo otherwise it would not work!):

import os, sys

if not os.getegid() == 0:
	sys.exit('start script as root')
	
from pyGPIO.gpio import gpio, connector
from time import sleep

gpio.init()
gpio.setcfg(connector.GPIOp7, 1)  #pin 7 as output

n = 0
while n < 5:
	gpio.output(connector.GPIOp7, 1)
	sleep(1)
	gpio.output(connector.GPIOp7, 0)
	sleep(1)
	n +=1

sys.exit('finished ;-)')

and once with port:

import os, sys

if not os.getegid() == 0:
	sys.exit('start script as root')
	
from pyGPIO.gpio import gpio, port
from time import sleep

gpio.init()
gpio.setcfg(port.GPIO4, 1)  #gpio4 as output

n = 0
while n < 5:
	gpio.output(port.GPIO4, 1)
	sleep(1)
	gpio.output(port.GPIO4, 0)
	sleep(1)
	n +=1

sys.exit('finished ;-)')

Annotation: When using NanoPi Duo you've to possibilities with or without Minishield. Pin name is the same on both possibilities but when using port but pin numbering when using connector:

Minishield:

3.3V			|1·|	5V
GPIO2 	I2C0_SDA	|3·|	5V
GPIO3	I2C_SCL		|5·|	GND
GPIO4			|··|	GPIO14	UART1_TX
GND			|··|	GPIO15	UART1_RX
GPIO17	SPI1_MOSI	|··|	GPIO18	
GPIO27	SPI1_MISO	|··|	GND	
GPIO22	SPI1_CLK	|··|	GPIO23	SPI1_CS
3.3V			|··|	NC (on mini shield)

Without (e.g. connector.J1p7 or connector.J2p5) :
				J1			J2 
(UART0_RX)			|1| microUSB 		 |1|	5V	
(UART0_TX)			|2|	 		 |·|	5V						
GND				|3|	 		 |·|	3.3V
GPIO3 (TWI_SCL)			|4|			 |·|	GND	
GPIO2 (TWI_SDA)			|5|			 |·| 	GPIO4 (IR_RX)
GPIO23 (SPI1_CS)		|6|			 |·|	GPIO18 (IOG11)	
GPIO22 (SPI1_CLK)		|7|			 |·|	DM3 D-
GPIO27 (SPI1_MISO)		|·|			 |·|	DM3 D+
GPIO17 (SPI1_MOSI)		|·|			 |·|	DM2 D-	
GPIO15(UART1_RX)		|·|			 |·|	DM2 D+
GPIO14 (UART1_TX)		|·|			 |·|	RDN
(CVBS)				|·|			 |·|	RDP	
(LINEOUT_L)			|·|			 |·|	TXN
(LINEOUT_R)			|·|			 |·|	TXP
(MICP)				|·|			 |·|	LED-LINK
(MICN)				|·|	microSD	 	 |·|	LED-SPD

Buttons (bigger orange pi boards) are mapped, but I didn't test if it works (mapping here, if somebody is interested in testing them, see mapping.h of your board):

 

{"BUTTON",
	{
		{   "BUTTON",  SUNXI_GPL(4),  1   },
		{
			{   0,  0,  0}
		},
	}
},

Well, I had some trouble at first, since I'm bread boarding without shield and missed

 

Without (e.g. connector.J1p7 or connector.J2p5)

 

duh... <_<

 

:D

 

I will come back after I spend some time playing.

Needs also a bit more documentation. :) 

 

It needs a little bit more explanation. Olimex boards have a lot of gpio possibilities and you can address all of them (e.g gpio1, gpio2, lcd etc.). Since most others don't have more pinheaders I named it GPIO (do have a difference capital/small letters to the Olimex boards). Or when using the nanopi duo J1 and J2 (according to the datasheet) when you install the lib with minishield it's also called 'GPIO'. There's also a pin-header called LED (normally LEDp1 = POWER_LED, mostly the red one and LEDp2 = STATUS_LED) and a pin-header "BUTTON" (BUTTONp1 = BUTTON_1, but not tested yet). 

It should also be possible to use the GPIOs delivered by the CSI pin-header:

CSI.jpg.cc2a789251458b4c4b74fddad7506c4e.jpg

 

This should give 14 GPIOs + I2C (TWI2) more.... I didn't implement them in the library now, cause it would need adjustments in the fex file for the legacy kernel, and I've no clue whats needed on mainline to use them as normal GPIOs. Maybe @Igor or @zador.blood.stained can comment this? 

 

If you're not sure about the naming for your board, just consult pyGPIO/pyGPIO/gpio/mapping/your_board_name.h to get some additional information (I hope I find time to write this stuff down in a small documentation).

All unused GPIOs are defaulted as normal GPIO, no needs to tweak DT.

And they can be tested easily using /sys/class/gpio ...

I'll give it a try, but maybe next year. If someone wanna test it, I can adjust the mapping for a board with CSI connector. 

 

Thanks to @TonyMac32 , processor detection (Sun8i) should also work under mainline now.  At the moment, I play with some i2c devices to test the library a little bit. I'll make this code snippets public on Github so that others can use it too.

Can someone help me, why I can not compile pyGPIO?

Do you think it's possible to access GPIO from userspace?

Which image do you use?

 

In case, board detection doesn't work, it should fall back to a manual board assignment whereas the OPi0 should be nr. 1. ;)

Should be, but your problem would be the same... The lib needs sudo right at the moment. It's on my todo list to figure out what's exactly needed to run it without sudo (I've a lot of other todos so no guarantee that this is solved immediately :P ).

I'm using the stable image ("Ubuntu server – legacy kernel") from here https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/

I changed the setup.py because otherwise it throws error trying to access non-existent file

 

For userspace GPIO access I think I would try to reproduce the /dev/gpioSOMETHING approach, where you can manage broader user access permissions without issues.

But I don't know where to start from.

At very high level I think this is something I can obtain with a kernel module but I can't find anything.

 

thank you

Interesting, I'll have a look at it this when I'm back at home (tested it on 3.4.113 Kernel weeks ago).  Would be nice to see a copy of the error but I'll try to reproduce your error (I've a OPi0).

The whole project started cause I wanted a lib which works without changing code between my OPi0s and my OPi+PC. Setup.py will have a cleanup in the future.

There are only two options. We have a bug or you made some strange/from very old images upgrade. Can you start with a clean image from download?

as the Orangepi One has the same connector as the Orangepi Lite https://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_One_%26_Lite I supposed it SHOULD run.

/etc/armbian-image-release and /etc/armbian-release are different files and have a different purpose. The former was added to track the source image version in case of upgrades, kernel switches, etc., it won't be present on many older images so it shouldn't be used for platform identification.

The problem seems to access /dev/mem, 

crw-r----- 1 root kmem 1, 1 Nov 28 22:17 /dev/mem

If you change the group or add normal user to group kmem nothing changes -> you must be root to access. Also if you chmod /dev/mem to 0777 -> you must be root.

Perhaps the makers of armbian can change something here.

Initial support for pcDuino3 (not tested, cause I don't own the board):

 

Pinmapping differs from other, cause no 'RPI compatible' pinheader:

It also runs on Armbian 4.14.18 and 4.14.65 with no root privileges, but you must change the file

# /etc/udev/rules.d/97-gpio.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="gpio*", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c '\
    chown -R root:gpio /sys/class/gpio && chmod -R 0770 /sys/class/gpio &&\
    chown -R root:gpio /sys/devices/platform/soc && chmod -R 0770 /sys/devices/platform/soc'"

add a group gpio and make the user member of this group, then reboot

Hi, I am trying to do 4 bytes write / 4 bytes read to a pic. the first write/read goes ok, the second gets Error in 'usr/bin/python': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0xb4c00738. next try it gets 0xb4c00750. Third try gets Fatal Python error: GC object already tracked.

I run ARMBIAN 5.38 stable DEBIAN GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi on a orange pi zero h2+. Python is 2.7.13.

any ideas how to fix this?

thanks

Just adding that I have got this working on a pcduino 3. 

 

I used the port option as I wasn't sure what the connector names are - see below. Is it possible to view the available ports and connectors?

 

import os, sys

if not os.getegid() == 0:
	sys.exit('start script as root')
	
from pyGPIO.gpio import gpio, port
from time import sleep

gpio.init()
gpio.setcfg(port.GPIO0, 1)  

gpio.output(port.GPIO0, 0)
sys.exit('finished ;-)')

more or less all others have a 'RPi-a-like' pinheader..  so here connectors would be named J8,J9,J11,J12 &P10 (according to schematics) and numbering according to its place..

Bumped/Pinned like the others.  If I'm going to be in the trenches on these boards, may as well make it count.  I want to see this, circuitpython, Larry Bank's and sgjava's libraries all in a subforum (and any I'm missing, authors step forward and be counted.  ;-)

 

Also @chwe tossed you a PR for Tritium H2+/H3 and your own Blinky example.  :lol:

I may need a more maintainable mechanism to add new boards... It's currently a hacky solution..

hmmm, I've seen worse.  You could replace the manual override part with a "name your board file", is my first idea...

I am trying to use this on an OrangePiOne. I understand that this isn't supported but I had hoped that if I 'lied' and entered 1 (=Orange PiZero) I'd get a consitent module albeit with wrong pin numbers. But it leaves with an unusable 'connector' and 'gpio'.

 

I'm prepared to do some development to support the OrangePiOne if you like.... It isn't immediately clear where to insert the necessary 'tweaks' but if I give it some effort  I can find out.
