GPIO

A GPIO may have multiple functions. The active function can be selected using the GPFSEL register.

Base Address>: 0x7e20'0000

Register

Access

Pseudo Filesystem

GPIO can be accessed using the pseudo file system mapped at "/sys/class/gpio"

• Requires driver for GPIO
• Portable to other HW, works everywere
• Less hassle with addressses

Enable GPIO

echo <gpio-pin> > /sys/class/gpio/export

Set Direction of GPIO

XX => GPIO-PIN-Number

echo "direction" >> /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/direction

Value of GPIO

#### Set Value

echo "1" >> /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/value

Read Value

cat /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/value

### C-Code

Export GPIO

FILE *fp;
fp = fopen("/sys/class/gpio/export", "w");
if (fp == NULL) {
	printf("Error opening file in gpio_init %s\n", str);
	return 1;
}
fprintf(fp, "%i", gpio);
fflush(fp);
fclose(fp);

Set Value

void fs_gpio_set (int gpio, int val)
{
	FILE *fp;
	char str[100];
	sprintf(str, "/sys/class/gpio/gpio%i/value", gpio);
	fp = fopen(str, "w");
	if (fp== NULL) {
		printf("Error opening file in gpio_set %s\n", str);
		return -1;
	}
	fprintf(fp, "%i", val);
	fflush(fp);
	fclose(fp);
}

Read Value

int fs_gpio_get (int gpio)
{
	FILE *fp;
	char str[100];
	int ret;
	sprintf(str, "/sys/class/gpio/gpio%i/value", gpio);
	fp = fopen(str, "r");
	if (fp == NULL) {
		printf("Error opening file in gpio_read %s\n", str);
		return -1;
	}
	fread(str, 101, 1, fp);
	sscanf(str, "%i", &ret);
	fclose(fp);
	return ret;
}

Memory Mapped

When using Memory Mapped / DMA (Direct Memory Access), the gpio location must be translated to the memory address.

The Physical Address is 35bit!

void *virtual_gpio_base; //define global pointer
int mmap_virtual_base()
{
	int m_mfd;
	if ((m_mfd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR)) < 0)
	{
		printf("FAIL by open /dev/mem\n");
		return m_mfd;
	}

	virtual_gpio_base = (void*) mmap(NULL, sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE),
	PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, m_mfd, GPIO_BASE_ADDR);
	close(m_mfd);
	
	if (virtual_gpio_base == MAP_FAILED) {
		return errno;
	}
	return 0;
}

Setting and clearing of single gpio pins

#define GPIO_SET0 (0x0000001c) // GPIOSET0 offset
#define GPIO_CLR0 (0x00000028) // GPIOCLR0 offset
void *virtual_gpio_base; //define global pointer
static void mmap_gpio_set(int gpio, int value)
{
	uint32_t *gpio_reg;
	if (value == 1){
		gpio_reg = (uint32_t *) (virtual_gpio_base + GPIO_SET0);
	}
	else {
		gpio_reg = (uint32_t *) (virtual_gpio_base + GPIO_CLR0);
	}
	*gpio_reg = (0x1 << gpio);
	
}
