How To Test GPIO IRQ

Switch to root user

Only root user can control GPIO, you need to switch to root user before testing.

Select the GPIO you need to use, and confirm the corresponding physical pin and GPIO value. Taking GPIOH6 as an example here, the corresponding GPIO value is 112, and the physical pin is pin 13.

  • export GPIO

Export the selected GPIO to operate the GPIO,

root@Khadas:/home/khadas# echo 112 > /sys/class/gpio/export

Compile GPIO test program
