==GPIO==
 
===Configuration/Testing===
 
====Configuration====
 
Export GPIO then you can use control GPIO from userr space through sysfs
 
 
 
GPIO 27 is taken as an example:
 
 
 
Export GPIO 27
 
# echo 27 /sys/class/gpio/export
 
 
 
Set GPIO direction to in/out
 
# echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/direction
 
 
 
Set GPIO value 0/1 if GPIO pin define is output
 
#  echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/value
 
 
 
Directly force a GPIO to output and set its initial value(high=1 low=0)
 
# echo high > /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/direction
 
 
 
Used as IRQ signal
 
 
 
Note:You have to configure GPIO to input
 
#  echo "rising" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/edge
 
*rising: Trigger on rising edge
 
*falling: Trigger on falling edge
 
*both: Trigger on both edges
 
*none: Disable interrupt on both edges
 
 
 
Unexport GPIO 27
 
# echo 27 /sys/class/gpio/unexport
 
 
 
====Testing====
 
GPIO 27 and GPIO 29 are taken as an example:
 
*Connect GPIO 27 and GPIO 29
 
*Export GPIO 27 and GPIO 29
 
# echo 27 /sys/class/gpio/export
 
# echo 29 /sys/class/gpio/export
 
*Set GPIO 27 to output
 
# echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/direction
 
*Set GPIO 29 to input
 
# echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio29/direction
 
*Change GPIO 27 to 1 and read GPIO 29 value
 
# echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/value
 
# cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio29/value
 
1
 
*Change GPIO 27 to 0 and read GPIO 29 value
 
# echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/value
 
# cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio29/value
 
0

==IR==
 
To decode the infrared signals and provide an uniform interface
 
lircd -d /dev/lirc0
 
 
 
used parameters:
 
-d --device=device    read from given device
 
-u --uinput          generate Linux input events
 
 
 
Executes commands on an IR signal decoded by lircd,
 
irexec -d /devlirc0
 
 
 
Note:
 
if show these message after running lircd
 
lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
 
lircd: No such file or directory
 
It has to add the "/var/run/lirc" folder
 
mkdir /var/run/lirc
 
 
 
How to debug:
 
  
1. To check that signals are decoded correctly
+
#Click "Settings" / "Ethernet configuration" , then Turn on Ethernet
mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
+
#:[[File:Imx6ABV1 settings ethernet config.png|800px|Imx6ABV1 settings ethernet config.png]]
It repeats to show "space" and "pulse" while clicking a control button
+
#Click "Ethernet configuration"
space 8451531
+
#:[[File:Imx6ABV1 settings ethernet config next level.png|800px|Imx6ABV1 settings ethernet config next level.png]]
pulse 476
+
#Choose Connection Type (DHCP or Static IP)
 +
#:[[File:Imx6ABV1 settings ethernet config dhcp.png|400px|Imx6ABV1 settings ethernet config dhcp.png]][[File:Imx6ABV1 settings ethernet config static.png|400px|Imx6ABV1 settings ethernet config static.png]]
  
2. To check input events.
+
== Update System ==
  
First, It must add the parameter,"-u", in lircd command
+
#Refer to 1.4.6 to build OTA package.
lircd -d /dev/lirc0 -u
+
#Plug SD card that contains OTA package(update.zip) into SD slot.
It will register at inputX,
+
#Click "Settings" / "About tablet" / "Addition system updates"&nbsp;:
input: lircd as /devices/virtual/input/input1
+
#:[[File:Imx6ABV1 settings addition system updates.png|800px|Imx6ABV1 settings addition system updates.png]]
Run evtest to check events
+
#Wait for one moment, system will reboot for updating
evtest -d /dev/input/event1
+
#:[[File:Imx6ABV1 poweroff.png|800px|Imx6ABV1 poweroff.png]]
 +
#It will take some time to update.
