Hi,

Distribution : uClinux-dist-2008R1.5-RC3  /     Processor : BF527  :  /    Board   EZKIT                                                                        Tool Chain : blackfin-toolchain-uclibc-full-08r1.5-14.i386 ,  blackfin-toolchain-08r1.5-14.i386      

I am trying to use the driver  simple-gpio.c , from the user space. I have refered to test application simple-gpio-test.c and the link:     http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=linux-kernel:drivers:simple-gpio&s[]=simple&s[]=gpio   

Below is the user space test code for reference.   You can see that  two  fwrite is been called with first parameter as "1" and  with "0".   But I observed that the LED2 doesn not showup any change in the board.  For debugging  I have added a few prtink in the driver code simple-gpio.c to check the value of variable ' byte '  . I observed that even though I pass "0" or "1" the driver takes it as an alphabet  'O'     Is there any problem in the simple-gpio driver or in the test application ?  Please let me know.

else

  printf(" File created \n");

if (fwrite("O", 1, 1, fp) != 1)

fsync(fileno(fp));

printf(" Output Mode\n");

for (i=0; i<=10;i++)

  {

printf(" In Loop \n");  

if (fwrite("1", 1, 1, fp) != 1)

printf(" Err set ");

sleep(1);

       

if (fwrite("0", 1, 1 , fp) != 1)

printf(" Err clear");

  sleep(1);

  }     

             

fclose(fp);

return 0;

you can directly set the gpio direction and value:

$ echo 'O1' > /dev/gpio27 - output mode value =1

In the simple_gpio_game.c  the leds are set to output using  :

if (write(leds_fd[i], "O0", 2) != 2)

the simple_gpio_game.c is working for LED2 in bf527 EZ kit.

hope this helps.

Thanks Abhri,   I tried using the write( ) , as given in simple_gpio_game.c     Its working fine...     Thanks again.
