Hello,
I just wonder about this 'sunxi-pio' tool in general. What is the
primary use case? We seem to already have sysfs-based alternative
methods for accessing GPIO pins:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/gpio/sysfs.txt
http://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO#Accessing_the_GPIO_pins_through_sysfs_on_sunxi-3.4
Because "git log pio.c" lists Alejandro and Henrik as the main sunxi-pio
tool contributors, also added them to CC.
Do we want to have this tool documented a little bit better? Or maybe
even deprecate it?
