Thank you, that provides a welcome solution. The Fedora case is slightly different: [ryniker@RPi3-1 ~]$ ls /sys/class/gpio export gpiochip970 unexport [ryniker@RPi3-1 ~]$ cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip970/base 970 Now the following works (at least there is no complaint; I will run a real application later to check actual output, but expect no trouble): [root@RPi3-1 ryniker]# echo 993 >/sys/class/gpio/export [ryniker@RPi3-1 ~]$ ls /sys/class/gpio/gpio993 active_low device direction edge power subsystem uevent value [root@RPi3-1 ryniker]# echo 993 >/sys/class/gpio/unexport I wonder how stable the "970" is. Will it be the same for all Raspberry Pi models? Will it be the same for all Fedora builds to run on a specific hardware model? I suspect the safe answer is "No." Even if this has been true for previous cases, without some explicit design assurance it may change in the future. Next question: how do I get /dev/i2c and /dev/spi in Fedora when there is no /boot/config.txt file? _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to arm-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
