gpioctl doesn't work on bcm63xx - livebox

[danitool <dgcbueu@…>]

Board livebox bcm63xx.

root@OpenWrt:/# gpioctl clear 1
using gpio pin 1
root@OpenWrt:/# gpioctl get 1
using gpio pin 1
Pin 1 is HIGH

And all gpios are set high always.
I'm using this patch for the board

170-board_livebox.patch

gpioctl is not the right way to do that, please use /sys/class/gpio instead.

[danitool <dgcbueu@…>]

I don't have anything to control or monitor at /sys/class/gpio

root@OpenWrt:/# ls -l /sys/class/gpio
--w-------    1 root     root          4096 Jan  1 00:00 export
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1 00:00 gpiochip0 -> ../../devices/virtual/gpio/gpiochip0
--w-------    1 root     root          4096 Jan  1 00:00 unexport

But I have the leds at /sys/class/leds/ and I can set them high or low with brightness.

root@OpenWrt:/# ls -l /sys/class/leds/
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1 00:00 adsl -> ../../devices/platform/leds-gpio.0/leds/adsl

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1 00:00 phone -> ../../devices/platform/leds-gpio.0/leds/phone

I still don't know where are the buttons for monitoring their status...

Just export gpios like this:

echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/export

echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio1/direction
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio1/value

[danitool <dgcbueu@…>]

It didn't work in latest trunk

root@OpenWrt:/# echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/export
root@OpenWrt:/# ls -l /sys/class/gpio/
--w-------    1 root     root          4096 Jan  1 00:05 export
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1 00:02 gpiochip0 -> ../../devices/virtual/gpio/gpiochip0
--w-------    1 root     root          4096 Jan  1 00:02 unexport
root@OpenWrt:/# echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio1/direction
/bin/ash: can't create /sys/class/gpio/gpio1/direction: nonexistent directory
root@OpenWrt:/# 

No gpioX is created when I set any gpio in the /sys/class/gpio/export

[danitool <dgcbueu@…>]

well, it works with the non-defined leds
gpio 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are leds, with this gpio the exporting doesn't work
but exporting gpio5 creates /sys/class/gpio/gpio5
...

[danitool <dgcbueu@…>]

... neither I can export gpio buttons.

Then the exporting isn't useful with defined leds and buttons.

[danitool <dgcbueu@…>]

Ok, gpioctl working again in latest trunk r27604.

Mark it as solved
