Using the HAL with the GPIO Subsystem
In the EEROS library you will find a directory with examples. For this example see HalTest4.cpp.
The system either uses real hardware inputs and output or makes use of a simulated gpio device. The hardware could be (
). You also need to install the necessary wrapper library, see Installing Hardware Libraries.
When using a simulated gpio device, make sure to load the kernel driver first and then create the device with
$ sudo modprobe gpio-sim $ sudo mkdir /sys/kernel/config/gpio-sim/ofagpio $ sudo mkdir /sys/kernel/config/gpio-sim/ofagpio/bank0 $ echo 32 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/config/gpio-sim/ofagpio/bank0/num_lines $ echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/config/gpio-sim/ofagpio/live
Make sure that your local user has access to the device file.
$ sudo chown $USER:$USER /dev/gpiochip0
Open a shell in the build directory of your EEROS library and run
$ ./examples/hal/halTest4 -c HalTest4ConfigGpio.json
This examples creates a small control system with a couple of peripheral input and output blocks. The main sequence alters the values on digital and analog outputs periodically. It also logs the digital and analog inputs.
