When looking at the upstream README, I see this in 'examples':
$ gpiodetect
Which indicates it can/should be run as a normal user.
But when I try it on my PC, I get the following error:
diederik@pc:~$ gpiodetect
gpiodetect: unable to access GPIO chips: Permission denied
It works when I do it as root though.
It would be great if (f.e.) there was a `gpio` group setup by this
package which grants access to the gpio devices, so that normal users
can interact with the GPIO chips/subsystem.
