.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.B GPIO
|
|
is a swiss army knife of a command line tool to allow the user easy
|
|
access to the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi and the SPI A/D and D/A
|
|
converters on the Gertboard. It's designed for simple testing and
|
|
diagnostic purposes, but can be used in shell scripts for general if
|
|
somewhat slow control of the GPIO pins.
|
|
|
|
It can also control the IO's on the PiFace IO board and load the SPI and I2C
|
|
kernel modules if required.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, it can be used to set the exports in the \fI/sys/class/gpio\fR
|
|
system directory to allow subsequent programs to use the \fR/sys/class/gpio\fR
|
|
interface without needing to be run as root.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Output the current version including the board revision of the Raspberry Pi.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-g
|
|
Use the BCM_GPIO pins numbers rather than wiringPi pin numbers.
|
|
\fINote:\fR The BCM_GPIO pin numbers are always used with the
|
|
export and edge commands.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-1
|
|
Use the physical pin numbers rather than wiringPi pin numbers.
|
|
\fINote:\fR that this applies to the P1 connector only. It is not possible to
|
|
use pins on the Revision 2 P5 connector this way, and as with \-g the
|
|
BCM_GPIO pin numbers are always used with the export and edge commands.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-x extension
|
|
This causes the named extension to be initialised. Extensions
|
|
comprise of a name (e.g. mcp23017) followed by a colon, then the
|
|
pin-base, then more optional parameters depending on the extension type.
|
|
See the web page on http://wiringpi.com/the-gpio-utility/
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-p
|
|
Use the PiFace interface board and its corresponding pin numbers. The PiFace
|
|
will always appear at pin number 200 in the gpio command. You can assign any
|
|
pin numbers you like in your own programs though.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B read <pin>
|
|
Read the digital value of the given pin and print 0 or 1 to represent the
|
|
respective logic levels.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B write <pin> <value>
|
|
Write the given value (0 or 1) to the pin. You need to set the pin
|
|
to output mode first.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B toggle <pin>
|
|
Changes the state of a GPIO pin; 0 to 1, or 1 to 0.
|
|
|
|
Note unlike the blink command, the pin must be in output mode first.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B blink <pin>
|
|
Blinks the given pin on/off. Press Control-C to exit.
|
|
|
|
Note: This command explicitly sets the pin to output mode.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B aread <pin>
|
|
Read the analog value of the given pin. This needs to be used in
|
|
conjunction with a -x flag to add in an extension that handles analog
|
|
inputs.
|
|
|
|
e.g. gpio -x mcp3002:200:0 aread 200
|
|
|
|
will read the first analog input on an mcp3002 SPI ADC chip.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B awrite <pin> <value>
|
|
Write the analog value to the given pin. This needs to be used in
|
|
conjunction with a -x flag to add in an extension that handles analog
|
|
inputs.
|
|
|
|
e.g. gpio -x mcp4802:200:0 awrite 200 128
|
|
|
|
will write the value 128 to the first DAC port on an mcp4802 chip on
|
|
the Pi's SPI bus 0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B wb <value>
|
|
Write the given byte to the 8 main GPIO pins. You can prefix it with 0x
|
|
to specify a hexadecimal number. You need to set pins to output mode
|
|
first.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B readall
|
|
Output a table of all GPIO pins values. The values represent the actual values read
|
|
if the pin is in input mode, or the last value written if the pin is in output
|
|
mode.
|
|
|
|
The readall command is usable with an extension module (via the -x parameter),
|
|
but it's unable to determine pin modes or states, so will perform both a
|
|
digital and analog read on each pin in-turn.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B pwm <pin> <value>
|
|
Write a PWM value (0-1023) to the given pin. The pin needs to be put
|
|
into PWM mode first.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B clock <pin> <frequency>
|
|
Set the output frequency on the given pin. The pin needs to be put into
|
|
clock mode first.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B mode <pin> <mode>
|
|
Set a pin into \fIinput\fR, \fIoutput\fR or \fIpwm\fR mode. Can also
|
|
use the literals \fIup\fR, \fIdown\fR or \fItri\fR to set the internal
|
|
pull-up, pull-down or tristate (off) controls.
|
|
|
|
The ALT modes can also be set using \fIalt0\fR, \fIalt1\fR, ... \fIalt5\fR.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B unexportall
|
|
Un-Export all the GPIO pins in the /sys/class/gpio directory.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B exports
|
|
Print a list (if any) of all the exported GPIO pins and their current values.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B export
|
|
Export a GPIO pin in the \fI/sys/class/gpio\fR directory. Use like the
|
|
mode command above however only \fIin\fR, \fIout\fR, \fIhigh\fR and
|
|
\fRlow\fR are supported at this time. Note that the pin number is the
|
|
\fBBCM_GPIO\fR number and not the wiringPi number. The \fIhigh\fR and
|
|
\fIlow\fR commands pre-set the output value at the same time as the
|
|
export to output mode.
|
|
|
|
Once a GPIO pin has been exported, the \fBgpio\fR program changes the
|
|
ownership of the \fI/sys/class/gpio/gpioX/value\fR and if present in
|
|
later kernels, the \fI/sys/class/gpio/gpioX/edge\fR pseudo files to
|
|
that of the user running the \fBgpio\fR program. This means that you
|
|
can have a small script of gpio exports to setup the gpio pins as your
|
|
program requires without the need to run anything as root, or with the
|
|
sudo command.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B edge
|
|
This exports a GPIO pin in the \fI/sys/class/gpio\fR directory, set
|
|
the direction to input and set the edge interrupt method to \fInone\fR,
|
|
\fIrising\fR, \fIfalling\fR or \fIboth\fR. Use like the export command
|
|
above and note that \fBBCM_GPIO\fR pin number is used not not wiringPi pin
|
|
numbering.
|
|
|
|
Like the export commands above, ownership is set to that of the
|
|
calling user, allowing subsequent access from user programs without
|
|
requiring root/sudo.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B unexport
|
|
Un-Export a GPIO pin in the /sys/class/gpio directory.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B wfi <pin> <mode>
|
|
This set the given pin to the supplied interrupt mode: rising, falling
|
|
or both then waits for the interrupt to happen. It's a non-busy wait,
|
|
so does not consume and CPU while it's waiting.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B drive
|
|
group value
|
|
|
|
Change the pad driver value for the given pad group to the supplied drive
|
|
value. Group is 0, 1 or 2 and value is 0-7. Do not use unless you are
|
|
absolutely sure you know what you're doing.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B usbp
|
|
high | low
|
|
|
|
Change the USB current limiter to high (1.2 amps) or low (the default, 600mA)
|
|
This is only applicable to the Model B+ and the Model B, v2.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B pwm-bal/pwm-ms
|
|
Change the PWM mode to balanced (the default) or mark:space ratio (traditional)
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B pwmr
|
|
Change the PWM range register. The default is 1024.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B gbr
|
|
channel
|
|
|
|
This reads the analog to digital converter on the Gertboard on the given
|
|
channel. The board jumpers need to be in-place to do this operation.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B gbw
|
|
channel value
|
|
|
|
This writes the supplied value to the output channel on the Gertboards
|
|
SPI digital to analogue converter.
|
|
The board jumpers need to be in-place to do this operation.

.SH "NOTES"
|
|
|
|
When using the \fIexport\fR, \fIedge\fR or \fIunexport\fR commands, the
|
|
pin numbers are \fBalways\fR native BCM_GPIO numbers and never wiringPi
|
|
pin numbers.
|
|
|
|
As of kernels 4.1.7, a user-level GPIO access mechanism is available,
|
|
however wiringPi will not use this by default - because at this time
|
|
there appears to be issues when trying to program the PWM or clock output
|
|
hardware. If you can live without PWM or GPIO clocks and you want to use
|
|
the GPIO from a non-root program, then you need to make sure that the
|
|
module \fIbcm2835_gpiomem\fR is loaded at boot time. This should happen
|
|
automatically when you enable the device tree in raspi-config. You may
|
|
also need some additional information in /etc/udev/rules.d/ to change the
|
|
mode and ownership of the /dev/gpiomem file. Finally, you need to set
|
|
the environment variable \fIWIRINGPI_GPIOMEM\fR. This will go-away
|
|
in future releases once the /dev/gpiomem interface is fully operational.
