#96BoardGPIO library ##Overview
This is the rudimentary beginnings of the 96BoardGPIO library to control real world hardware via the GPIO on the 96Boards family of boards that confirm to the CE spec.
One of the cool things about the 96Boards CE project is that all of the boards use the same pins for the Low Speed Expansion Connector so you can plug any expansion board into any 96Board and it will connect electrically BUT there is an issue where GPIO is concerned. Different SoC's have different GPIO pins. So even though electrically the pins are in the same place it takes different code to enable and use the GPIO on pins 23 - 34. Not so fun.
The 96BoardGPIO library tries to abstract the info so that you can just tell it what board you are using and what pins you want to use and the library does the rest.
##Work Needed The entire read side needs work to setup and control the input settings. Lots of work remaining in the kernel for 96Boards.
##Install the source code So to install the library and test it with the example blink code you need to do the following:
git clone https://github.com/jackmitch/libsoc.git
cd libsoc
./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-board="<board name>"
make && sudo make install
# <board name>" is dragonboard410c or hikey or bubblegum.
git clone https://github.com/96boards/96BoardsGPIO.git
cd 96BoardsGPIO
./autogen.sh && ./configure
make && sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
##Example code The examples directory contains a blink.c and blink.py that demo how to blink an LED hooked up to pin 23(A).
cd ./examples
make
sudo ./bink
sudo ./plink.py
The code so far has been tested on a Dragonboard 410 c where it is known to work very well.
