  1. What: /sys/class/gpio/
  2. Date: July 2008
  3. KernelVersion: 2.6.27

  5. Description:
  6. As a Kconfig option, individual GPIO signals may be accessed from
  7. userspace. GPIOs are only made available to userspace by an explicit
  8. "export" operation. If a given GPIO is not claimed for use by
  9. kernel code, it may be exported by userspace (and unexported later).
  10. Kernel code may export it for complete or partial access.
  11. GPIOs are identified as they are inside the kernel, using integers in
  12. the range 0..INT_MAX. See Documentation/gpio.txt for more information.
  13. /sys/class/gpio
  14. /export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace
  15. /unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel
  16. /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N OR
  17. /<LINE-NAME> ... for a properly named GPIO line
  18. /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
  19. /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write: high, low
  20. /edge ... r/w as: none, falling, rising, both
  21. /gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
  22. /base ... (r/o) same as N
  23. /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
  24. /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N to N + (ngpio - 1)
