[PATCH] README: update Tools section for v2 tools

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Update the Tools section to reflect the changes to the tools for v2.

A first draft of changes for the README.
If you want to wait for a v5 of the tools series I can add it on to the
end of that.

Cheers,
Kent.

                and number of GPIO lines

+               attributes, such as active state, bias, drive, edge detection
+               and debounce period
 
 * gpioget    - read values of specified GPIO lines
 
-* gpioset    - set values of specified GPIO lines, potentially keep the lines
-               exported and wait until timeout, user input or signal
+* gpioset    - set values of specified GPIO lines, holding the lines until the

-* gpiofind   - find the gpiochip name and line offset given the line name
