This post: https://waldorf.waveform.org.uk/2021/the-pins-they- are-a-changin.html should explain things rather more completely than I can here but the TL;DR version is: it would be nice to disable sysfs but there's *way* too much stuff that would break right now if we did (mostly Python GPIO interfaces, but given Python is the "blessed" language for much of the Pi Foundation's output, that's a lot of important stuff to break!).
My hope is that with the addition of lgpio (a "full-featured" library also based on the gpiochip device) in hirsute we should be in a reasonable position to disable that for the LTS next year (maybe impish?). But right now there's too much that'll break. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1918583 Title: Switch to libgpiod and disable CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1918583/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
