GPIOs on DIMM-AM335 under Linux

Enabling GPIO control

To get access to an GPIO pin, first, write the GPIO number to /sys/class/gpio/export

echo 7 [gt] /sys/class/gpio/export

Now you should find a directory in /sys/class/gpio to access your GPIO pin. Write in or out to direction to change the direction of the pin:

echo out [gt] /sys/class/gpio/gpio7/direction

The value (0 for off, 1 for on) of the pin is in the value file. To read or change it, read the file or write to it.

echo 1 [gt] /sys/class/gpio/gpio7/value

cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio7/value

The list of GPIO numbers can be found below.

The two color led can be controlled by two GPIO pins.

Color	Bank and pin	GPIO Number	Notes
Green	2-4	68	output is inverted, 0 is on
Red	2-5	69

There are 8 GPIOs on J12 with a signal level of 3.3V and 14 more on J16 using the GPIO expander.
