RPi GPIO Support
« on: April 25, 2019, 10:35:00 AM »
I have the GPIO extension module built with limited testing. I'm assuming the gpio argument is a 0 or 1 indicating the physical hardware or an emuator. It would be sweet if I can access the Python based Sense HAT emulator.

* Unzip to a tmp directory.
* Copy the gpio.so file to your /usr/local/lib/scriba/ directory.
* Copy the gpio.bas file to your /usr/local/include/scriba/ directory.

Simple Test

Code: Script BASIC
  1. ' Test GPIO
  2.  
  3. IMPORT gpio.bas
  4.  
  5. status = GPIO::Setup()
  6. PRINT status,"\n"
  7. GPIO::Cleanup
  8.

Note: This was compiled on my RPi 3B. I will compile a Zero version after this is tested.

I have a Raspberry Pi Sense HAT board and a KooKye Smart Home IoT Sensor Kit.

Looking forward to your test scripts!

Hi Hippy,

I hope this post finds you and you join us here on the Raspberry BASIC forum.

    I'm assuming the gpio argument is a 0 or 1 indicating the physical hardware or an emuator.

I'm not sure what that means or where it would be set. Your test program worked for me but I can't do much more at present.

There doesn't seem to be any peek or poke to allow access to the GPIO memory, so I can't read the magic "aux0" register.

I didn't particularly like the names used for the RPi.GPIO routines, don't find them descriptive enough, so changed those in my library. For example, "gpio_function" became "SetAltFunction", "output_gpio" became "SetOutput", "input_gpio" became "GetInput". There's no need for the "gpio" in any when that is already used in the main program, eg -

GPIO::SetAltFunction( 17, GPIO::ALT0 )

You need the other ALTn definitions as well. IN=1 and OUT=0 will be contentious for some, but that is what I have also used in my library.

"short_wait" is only used internally by the library so doesn't need to be available. I turned that into "void Nops(int n)" and made that available, updated the library to use Nops(150).

It would be useful if you could provide the library source code and details of how to build it.

Continued ...

One aside, and I haven't really investigated it yet ...

The Broardcom BCM 2835 Peripheral PDF talks of read and write memory barriers which should be executed before the first read and after the last write (page 7). The best I can ascertain is this is because one isn't actually updating things at the instant when a register is written or read but passing stuff through a bus and/or buffer to get things updated or read. Don't use the barriers and things can go screwy.

But I'm not exactly sure when they need to be used or how they are specified, and most of the GPIO interfacing libraries don't seem to use them nor even mention them. Does that mean they aren't needed, don't need to be explicitly specified, or the libraries aren't as safe or reliable as they should be ? Are memory barriers only required for BCM 2835 or also for later variants ? Should code be different for differing Pi variants ? Will libraries not using memory barriers not work as safely or as reliably, or differently, on a BCM 2835 ?

I have no idea at present. I thought the GPIO peripheral block was the same for all Pi variants and those barriers should be there. But they aren't.


What is the difference between BOARD and BCM for GPIO pin numbering?

I think I need to add the other C library functions as well to the gpio extension module. The event C / .h seems to be a major missing piece.

If you want to build the gpio extension module and don't want to run ./setup from scratch, just add a gpio directory in bin/mod/obj/ and then do a ./setup --module=gpio.

I was looking at the fb.h include and for grins I tried this little script. To my surprise the Sense HAT LEDs turned on. (one bright green and two blueish)

I have no idea what this did but it's interesting just opening the device with ScriptBasic produced a visible response.

Code: Script BASIC
  1. OPEN "/dev/fb1" FOR BINARY AS #1
  2. PRINT #1, 0x4600
  3. CLOSE(1)
  4.  

#define FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO   0x4600

Hippy,

I believe the routines themselves are doing the low level memory access. I would like to know how I can use this library with the RPi Sense HAT board/emulator.
