Hi Derek,

As in the imx6 based Wandboard? Which model/rev? What release of
Fedora, what kernel etc?

Yes, we stopped supporting that because it was deprecated and upstream
asked us to.

You'd likely need to look at the device tree and pinmappings to see
how they're mapped out.

Probably a kernel device, often GPIOs are used for other things.

A quick look at the dtsi for the wandboards some of the GPIOs re used
for SCL/SDA pins on two of the i2c buses. The i2c1 seems to not have
anything attached so I guess in on a pin header for end user use, and
i2c12 has a audio codec and for the camera connector.

If it's a iMX6 based Wandboard the guidance will be limted as the
support for ARMv7 went EOL when F-36 did so I have no recollection of
what kernel, libgpiod version etc was shipped there.
