sbc_chrisb Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Hello, I'm new to this world of SBC. I'm trying to learn as much as possible, and I realize maybe I should have started with a better documented board like the rPI. I guess I just like learning the hard way. I'm trying to use the GPIO pins on the board. Starting with baby steps, I'm looking to just simply turn on/off an LED via GPIO. I've been searching and poking around the /sys filesystem to try to understand how this works, but I'm having a hard time understanding which pins to expose via the export file, and what physical pins those map to. I see /sys/class/gpio/ has two chips, 0 and 10. I see gpiochip0 has 10 pins, and gpiochip10 has 101. Is there a document which maps which of these corresponds to the physical pins available? If I write "8" to the export file /sys/class/gpio/export, does that expose pin 8 on the board (UART_A_TX)? Am I understanding this right or am I way off? For my purpose, which pin would be the right one to start with to turn an LED on? Side note: I also noticed on the schematic for the board that several of the pins are labelled WIFI, are these interface pins for the SOC wifi module? Apologies if these are dumb questions. I'm just trying to find the info to learn what does what on this board. 1
Tido Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Hi Chris, While learning with a RPi might be easier you get stuck into their environment, but once you understood ARM SoC per se you gain much more. Have you ever done some programming? About the armbianIO: There is @Larry Bank who saw the lack of a global GPIO software and wrote common C library to access the I2C, SPI and GPIOs of all supported boards : https://forum.armbian.com/topic/5655-armbianio-api-proposal/ Along came @sgjava who added a Python and Java binding, now you can make use of three languages to talk to your GPIO's sysfs is past, welcome to the future... Build libgpiod the "New GPIO Interface for User Space" https://forum.armbian.com/topic/6249-build-libgpiod-the-new-gpio-interface-for-user-space/? You can dump the debugfs gpio file in : /sys/kernel/debug/gpio to get the relationship between numbers and GPIO line name. Wiki over at LibreComputer - it might need some structure first.. http://wiki.loverpi.com/sbc-brand:libre-computer but I am sure others will be grateful to get some hints how to make use of their libre board Last but not least, I wrote a little Google-Doc with a show case with 3-color LED - see in my signature
sbc_chrisb Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 Hello, Thank you for the info. I'll work on getting network set up on my board so I can install these libraries. I was just working with sysfs because it was already present and I wanted to understand at the lower level how to communicate with the GPIO pins. I don't see the Potato listed as a supported board on the armbianIO page, but I'll check that out. Yes, I've done programming for years down to some assembly and C, and was intending on writing C apps to handle my projects. Just trying to understand how it works at the bottom-most layer. I'm working towards being able to use flashrom and a pomona clip with this board eventually. The wiki for these boards is very incomplete. I've read all of that stuff, but mostly I just look over the schematic to understand what pins are what on this thing. I just didn't understand the relationships between what I found in sysfs and what I saw on the board. Thanks again!
sbc_chrisb Posted February 17, 2018 Author Posted February 17, 2018 So, I have installed libgpiod and can run the gpioinfo and all that. I'm just still not sure how these pins map to the physical pins. sysfs/debug isn't much help either, same info as what's in gpioinfo. It's only listing 6 pins. chris@lepotato:~/Projects/libgpiod$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio gpiochip0: GPIOs 0-9, parent: platform/c8100000.aobus:pinctrl@14, aobus-banks: gpio-2 ( |librecomputer:blue ) out lo gpio-3 ( |? ) out lo gpiochip1: GPIOs 10-110, parent: platform/c8834000.periphs:pinctrl@4b0, periphs-banks: gpio-29 ( |HDMI_5V ) out lo gpio-45 ( |reset ) out lo gpio-58 ( |cd ) in lo gpio-83 ( |librecomputer:system) out hi I'm sorry if I'm just being a pain here or something, but I am not following where I'm supposed to find the info on which line in gpioinfo I need to activate to make, for example, pin 14 on the header go high. There's a 100 pins listed on gpiochip1. If there's another document I need to reference to derive the pins, that's fine. I just need to know how one goes about determining which pin in software corresponds to the hardware header.
TonyMac32 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 This is something I haven't quite figured out either. The potato device tree assigned a user-friendly name to each pin, however for the life of me I can't find it in the device listing.
Tido Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I cannot remember how I did it, but as I called it 'merge' I must have collected it from different sources, like sysfs & device tree. I think even Tony gave me that tipp. Attached a LibreOffice spreadsheet with 3 sheets in it, 'merge' is the one you are looking for GPIO Pins.ods 1
TonyMac32 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Yes, the device tree has a comma delimited table in it with the names, but that means they should exist in the kernel somewhere, I haven't spent enough time trying to find them. Maybe I should just ask @Neil Armstrong to fill in for my lack of knowledge whenever he has a free moment. (Obviously he is quite busy doing the real work, so don't expect anything/anything soon)
zador.blood.stained Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 1 hour ago, TonyMac32 said: Yes, the device tree has a comma delimited table in it with the names, but that means they should exist in the kernel somewhere, I haven't spent enough time trying to find them. If you are talking about the "gpio-line-names" property AFAIK it just lists all the pin names in their numeric order (with a lot of empty strings for pins that are not routed anywhere).
Neil Armstrong Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 These names should be printed in the /sys/kernel/début/gpio if not there must be a mismatch in the number of entries. can you dump the dmesg somewhere ? Here is a sheet of all the pins exported by the potato board https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uu09Fp14bJ9YhlEIYVn5R430V4p-v6A4SsAgdEem9EI To know the gpio number, the first bank with 10 gpios is the AO bank from GPIOAO_0 to 9. the second bank mapping can be found in the kernel header : https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/dt-bindings/gpio/meson-gxl-gpio.h 1

I just couldn't find the entries, truthfully I wasn't certain where to look. Thanks Neil for giving direction so quickly. I'll take a look after bit, at the moment installing curtains for the wife... ;-)Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

TonyMac32 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I was going to do some more checking on this right away, but I forgot to take the highspeed out of the SD device tree and now it won't boot. I'll be back after dinner when I swap my old device tree back in. (I have a very old potato without the 1.8volt line. You would think after messing up so often I'd stop. Nope.)
sbc_chrisb Posted February 20, 2018 Author Posted February 20, 2018 So, I did some more testing and crashed my board. I hooked up wire to what I'm calling pin 3. Honestly I'm completely confused how to number these pins now. I was referencing this page http://wiki.loverpi.com/sbc-brand:libre-computer and the pinout link there: http://wiki.loverpi.com/pinouts which has two pins labelled 2: the pin right next to 3v3, and also first 5v. Anyway I wired up the pin next to 3v3 to an LED, and also ground. I then ran a bash loop to use gpioset gpiochip1 like so: chris@lepotato:~/Projects/libgpiod$ for i in {1..25}; do echo $i; sudo gpioset gpiochip1 $i'=1'; read; sudo gpioset gpiochip1 $i'=0'; done 1 gpioset: error setting the GPIO line values: Invalid argument gpioset: error setting the GPIO line values: Invalid argument 2 gpioset: error setting the GPIO line values: Invalid argument gpioset: error setting the GPIO line values: Invalid argument 3 gpioset: error setting the GPIO line values: Invalid argument gpioset: error setting the GPIO line values: Invalid argument 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 gpioset: error setting the GPIO line values: Device or resource busy gpioset: error setting the GPIO line values: Device or resource busy 20 21 22 23 24 25 And yeah, the LED never lit up. From that spreadsheet linked above, it should have been lighting up at 5, but it wasn't. When I tried doing the above loop all the way to 100, it eventually completely crashed my board and I had to hard reset it. Is libgpio just busted or something? I confirmed the LED works by connecting it to the ground pin and 5v, then 3v3, then the second 5v, and it lights up fine on those three. I hooked it to "pin 3" and while it gives a very slight dim light by default (not sure it's supposed to do that or what), and then never changes when I run the above loop to send it to 1 or 0. I must be doing something wrong here... EDIT: Okay, so I can't get this to actually change any values anyway. l_chip=gpiochip1 chris@lepotato:~$ sudo gpioget $l_chip 5 1 chris@lepotato:~$ sudo gpioset $l_chip 5=0 chris@lepotato:~$ sudo gpioget $l_chip 5 1 I think these tools are broken. EDIT2: Okay, I think I figured this out thanks to Neil's spreadsheet up there. I noticed pin 3 is GPIOAO_5 and gpiochip0 is called AOBUS in /sys/class/gpio: chris@lepotato:~$ ls -l /sys/class/gpio/ total 0 --w------- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 export lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 gpiochip0 -> ../../devices/platform/soc/c8100000.aobus/c8100000.aobus:pinctrl@14/gpio/gpiochip0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 gpiochip10 -> ../../devices/platform/soc/c8834000.periphs/c8834000.periphs:pinctrl@4b0/gpio/gpiochip10 --w------- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 unexport So I tried switching my gpioset to use gpiochip0 and turning pin 5 off turned this off. I think I can work with this now. Thanks to Neil for providing that spreadsheet, that info seems good. Now trying to figure out how to control the pins on GPIOX on that spreadsheet. They don't map to the other chip from what I can tell. EDIT3: Just going to keep updating this post for my notes in case it's helpful to anyone, and if anyone has any suggestions they can chime in. I might have found my crash. I was doing a read loop on the pins of chip1, and apparently reading pin 53 triggers the filesystem to go read-only and everything goes bonkers with I/O errors after that, requiring pulling the power. chris@lepotato:~$ for i in {30..60}; do printf "$i: "; sudo gpioget $l_chip2 $i; done 30: 0 31: 0 32: 0 33: 0 34: 0 35: gpioget: error reading GPIO values: Device or resource busy 36: 0 37: 0 38: 0 39: 0 40: 0 41: 0 42: 1 43: 1 44: 0 45: 1 46: 1 47: 1 48: gpioget: error reading GPIO values: Device or resource busy 49: 1 50: 1 51: 1 52: 1 53: sudo: unable to write to /var/lib/sudo/ts/chris: Read-only file system 1 54: sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/ts/chris: Read-only file system Eh, maybe not. I don't think the reads triggered it specifically, I tried reading those pins again after reboot and it was fine. This time, I triggered some kind of I/O issue up near pin 80? It finished the loop up to 80 and then wouldn't take any more input from my ssh session. Network completely shut off at that point, another hard reboot and I can't trigger the condition again manually. Weird. EDIT: Merging the info from Tido and Neil, I think I have it now. I'll try to make a new spreadsheet (yeah I know, another?) mapping the pins to libgpiod commands. Basically, I realized Tido's info was shifted by 10 from what was in gpioinfo. IE, 7J1 Pin8 is listed as gpio-101, but in gpioinfo it's 91. Thanks to both of y'all for this info. This is what I was looking for. And sorry for the super long multi-edits. I don't know what this forum's etiquette for that kind of thing is. 1
sbc_chrisb Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 So, I still need to verify some of the later pins, going to work on that tomorrow with a bash walker loop while I swap wires on the header to an LED. This is yet another table that maps the 40 pins to libgpio, for reference. Maybe someone will find it useful. GC0 is gpiochip0 and GC1 is gpiochip1 in libgpio. Quick bash variable list for importing into scripts, so you can just think in terms of header pins rather than the mappings. P01=NA P02=NA P03=0:5 P04=NA P05=0:4 P06=NA P07=1:98 P08=1:91 P09=NA P10=1:92 P11=0:8 P12=0:6 P13=0:9 P14=NA P15=1:100 P16=1:93 P17=NA P18=1:94 P19=1:87 P20=NA P21=1:88 P22=1:79 P23=1:90 P24=1:89 P25=NA P26=1:80 P27=1:75 P28=1:76 P29=1:96 P30=NA P31=1:97 P32=1:95 P33=1:85 P34=NA P35=1:86 P36=1:81 P37=1:84 P38=1:82 P39=NA P40=1:83 Example bash script: #!/bin/bash . pinheaders #This is the above variable list as a separate file print() { for i in {01..40}; do var=P${i} printf "Pin $i: ${!var}\n"; done } walk() { for i in {01..40}; do var=P${i} if [[ ! ${!var} = "NA" ]]; then chip=gpiochip$(echo ${!var} | cut -f1 -d:) pin=$(echo ${!var} | cut -f2 -d:) gpioset $chip ${pin}=1 sleep .5 gpioset $chip ${pin}=0 fi done } You get the idea. If you're working with just pins 27 and 28 you can source the pinheader file, then use $P27 and $P28 to get the chip and pin from that variable. Hopefully this info is useful to someone searching the forum like I was. 1
