The purpose of this library is to simplify/unifiy GPIO pin handling in C++. Use this library to handle I/O pins unified, regardless from HW and OS. Hence you can implement platform and hw independent business logic.
- GPIOLib
- Sysfs (legacy)
Both of the implementation can be used from user space (user shoud be in gpio group). They are located under
./linuxdirectory. If you need performance critical IO driving, you should consider to write a driver for your applcation and use new GPIOlib features. Kernel also provide various of functionalities (including debouncing) so it worths a try. This library and the implemetation of IO driving in linux tries to make easier taking the first step and simplify GPIO handling from user space.
Example was tested on Raspiabian 10 (buster). HW was a Raspberry Pi 4. The example SW generate 4s wavelength square wave on pin 20 and 16, and creates async linstener on pin 26 and 19. Output waveform
20, 26 pins are driven by sysfs, 16, 19 pins are driven buy gpiolib implementation.
If you pull up input pins to 3.3V or pull down to GND, std output should show that the event occurred. Sysfs implementation are attached to a SW implemented debouncer.
In progress
Project uses CMake. To compile download and install CMake from https://cmake.org/download/. To create build files enter LIO and configure the project:
cmake ./CMakeLists.txt -Bbuild
cd build
cmake --build . -j
Compiler should support at least cpp14.
From release-2.0.3 you can generate the project with cake 3.13. It means you are able to use the officially shipped cmake package on raspian.
Unit tests are witten with the help of gtest/gmock framework. You can enable them to set BUILD_TESTS cmake veriable.
v2.0 are not backwards compatible to v1.0. Sorry about that.
