  • The gpio-event-mon is used from userspace as an example of how
    to monitor GPIO line events. It will latch on to a certain
    GPIO line on a certain gpiochip and print timestamped events
    as they arrive.

    Example output:
    $ gpio-event-mon -n gpiochip2 -o 0 -r -f
    Monitoring line 0 on gpiochip2
    Initial line value: 1
    GPIO EVENT 946685798487609863: falling edge
    GPIO EVENT 946685798732482910: rising edge
    GPIO EVENT 946685799115997314: falling edge
    GPIO EVENT 946685799381469726: rising edge

  • The gpio-hammer is used from userspace as an example of how
    to retrieve a GPIO handle for one or several GPIO lines and
    hammer the outputs from low to high and back again. It will
    pulse the selected lines once per second for a specified
    number of times or indefinitely if no loop count is
    supplied.

    Example output:
    $ gpio-hammer -n gpiochip0 -o5 -o6 -o7
    Hammer lines [5, 6, 7] on gpiochip0, initial states: [1, 1, 1]
    [-] [5: 0, 6: 0, 7: 0]

  • I named the field representing the current user of GPIO line as
    "label" but this is too vague and ambiguous. Before anyone gets
    confused, rename it to "consumer" and indicate clearly in the
    documentation that this is a string set by the user of the line.

    Also clean up leftovers in the documentation.

  • Use %2d for the GPIO line number. This should align the results
    horziontally for most gpio chips.

    The GPIO label uses quotes for real values. For GPIO names this is
    currently missing. The patch adds the missing quote.

  • This adds a GPIO line ABI for getting name, label and a few select
    flags from the kernel.

    This hides the kernel internals and only tells userspace what it
    may need to know: the different in-kernel consumers are masked
    behind the flag "kernel" and that is all userspace needs to know.

    However electric characteristics like active low, open drain etc
    are reflected to userspace, as this is important information.

    We provide information on all lines on all chips, later on we will
    likely add a flag for the chardev consumer so we can filter and
    display only the lines userspace actually uses in e.g. lsgpio,
    but then we first need an ABI for userspace to grab and use
    (get/set/select direction) a GPIO line.

    Sample output from "lsgpio" on ux500:

    GPIO chip: gpiochip7, "8011e000.gpio", 32 GPIO lines
    line 0: unnamed unlabeled
    line 1: unnamed unlabeled
    (...)
    line 25: unnamed "SFH7741 Proximity Sensor" [kernel output open-drain]
    line 26: unnamed unlabeled
    (...)

  • The gpio_chip label is useful for userspace to understand what
    kind of GPIO chip it is dealing with. Let's store a copy of this
    label in the gpio_device, add it to the struct passed to userspace
    for GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL and modify lsgpio to show it.

  • This creates GPIO tools under tools/gpio/* and adds a single
    example program to list the GPIOs on a system. When proper
    devices are created it provides this minimal output:
