Such devices can be either part of the chipset or embedded .Tn CPU , or a separate chip. The usual way of using .Tn GPIO is to connect some simple devices such as LEDs, 1-wire thermal sensors, etc., to its pins. .Pp Each .Tn GPIO device has an associated device file in the .Pa /dev directory. By default .Nm uses .Pa /dev/gpio0 , which corresponds to the first found .Tn GPIO device in the system. .Pp .Tn GPIO pins can be either .Dq read or .Dq written with the values of logical 0 or 1. If only a .Ar pin number is specified on the command line, the pin state will be read from the .Tn GPIO controller and displayed. To write to a pin, a value must be specified after the .Ar pin number. Values can be either 0 or 1. A value of 2 has a special meaning: it .Dq toggles the pin, i.e. changes its state to the opposite. .Pp The following configuration .Ar flags are supported by the .Tn GPIO framework: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .It in input direction .It out output direction .It inout bi-directional .It od open-drain output .It pp push-pull output .It tri tri-state (output disabled) .It pu internal pull-up enabled .It pd internal pull-down enabled .It iin invert input .It iout invert output .El .Pp Note that not all the flags can be supported by the particular .Tn GPIO controller. .Pp When executed without any arguments, .Nm reads information about the .Tn GPIO device and displays it. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl c Ar pin Configure .Ar pin with any of the various flags, as documented above. The list of supported flags is always displayed when executing .Nm with this option. To change pin flags, a new flags set separated by spaces must be specified after the pin number. .It Fl d Ar device If more than one .Tn GPIO device is present, an alternative .Ar device file can be specified with the .Fl d option in order to access a particular .Tn GPIO device. .It Fl q Operate quietly i.e. nothing is printed to stdout. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "/dev/gpiou" -compact .It /dev/gpio Ns Ar u GPIO device unit .Ar u file. .El .Sh EXAMPLES Configure pin 20 to have push-pull output: .Pp .Dl # gpioctl -c 20 out pp .Pp Write logical 1 to pin 20: .Pp .Dl # gpioctl 20 1 .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr gpio 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command first appeared in .Ox 3.6 . .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm program was written by .An Alexander Yurchenko Aq grange@openbsd.org .
