Hello there, I have built a package (PlebGPIO) which simplifies access to the GPIO bus used by Raspberry Pi and some other companies. Written in ‘C’, the repo is here: https://github.com/briantbutton/plebgpio. We use it in production on Ubuntu 24.04. AFAIK, it is only relevant in an ARM64 architecture.
The GPIO can used for a lot of things, but mostly for LEDs and buttons, which is the sweet spot for PlebGPIO. GPIO interfaces on Raspberry Pi are currently a mess of partial, abandoned and nonfunctional libraries (see links below). https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/145013/future-of-gpio-access-on-pi5 https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/147465/current-proper-way-to-interface-gpio-from-c-code https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/145295/raspberry-pi-5-gpio-library-questions/150707 Since we use SystemD to simplify things for the application software, it seemed like a Debian package would be the best way to deliver this to folks. You know, official, easy, authorized. Installable with apt without any special hassle. I have a package together as of today. It installs correctly with dpkg but I do not know what to do next. Hopefully someone will tell me. Best, Brian
