The main way we support GPIO on any device in Fedora is via the gpiod character interface: /dev/gpiochip* The main userspace libaries for this is libgpiod and python3-libgpiod but anything that supports the kernel gpiod character interfaces should work. The problem with a lot of the RPi specific interfaces for GPIO is that the RPi has uses an old deprecated GPIO interface with their own custom set of patches on top. We don't support those. > The pigpio library would be a good choice in my humble opinion, but if > it is not supported, could you tell me a system package or a way for > using GPIO? > > So I tried my best to address the issue in English. > > I look forward to getting a response :) > > So have a nice day. > > Best regards > > -- > beste Grüße René Kummer > -- _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to arm-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
