GPIOs on DIMM-MX6 under Linux

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

echo 40 [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/gpio40/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/gpio40/value

cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio40/value

The list of GPIO numbers can be found below.

 

Verno 3/Verno 4/Cadun

Tarion

There are 2 GPIOs on J12 with a signal level of 3.3V and 14 more on J16 via an GPIO expander. The signal GPO_7 of DIMM-MX6 can only be used as output and not as input.

 

Connector	Pin	Signal	Signal on MX6	Bank and pin	GPIO Number
