The following DTS example fragment defines the EMIO pins used to control an
external 8-way Mux:
/ {
/*
* Provide a set of aliases describing the GPIOs that are exported via
sysfs for use by applications.
*
* The format of each signal entry is as follows:
* <name> = "<pin_no>,INPUT | OUTPUT, ACTIVE_HIGH | ACTIVE_LOW"
*
* e.g:
*
* pin1 = "10,OUTPUT,ACTIVE_HIGH";
* pin2 = "25,INPUT,ACTIVE_LOW";
*
* To make it easy to maintain this data, pin numbers are as seen by the
EMIO GPIO controller,
* not as known to SysFs, hence the need for GPIO_OFFSET so that
application code knows
* how to calculate the correct number to pass to SysFs.
*/
aliases {
GPIO_OFFSET = "960"; /* = 1024 - 64 - due to the way that Linux
allocates GPIO pin numbering for use with Sysfs. */
/* Outputs - all EMIO pins */
MUX_ADDR0 = "30,OUTPUT,ACTIVE_HIGH"; /* Schematic Pin: MUX_SEL0
*/
MUX_ADDR1 = "31,OUTPUT,ACTIVE_HIGH"; /* Schematic Pin: MUX _SEL1
*/
MUX_ADDR2 = "32,OUTPUT,ACTIVE_HIGH"; /* Schematic Pin: MUX _SEL2
*/
MUX_ENABLE = "29,OUTPUT,ACTIVE_LOW"; /* Schematic Pin: MUX
_SEL_N */
};
};
Apps read the value of GPIO_OFFSET and parse the individual MUX_xxx strings to
extract the settings. The GPIO numbers are then GPIO_OFFSET + pin number. So
for example MUX_ENABLE is on GPIO 989 (960 + 29).

Hi Alan,
Thanks for this insight.

Can you point to an example? Or copy/paste a bit of it here?
