Intel Quark - Programming GPIO From Linux
Most of GPIO capabilities of ECS board are exposed through Linux Sysfs interface, and can be
controlled using file based I/O. I will show how to use some of these capabilities using simple shell
commands. Of course instead of shell you can implement I/O using file manipulations from your
program written using your favorite programming language.
Digital GPIO - Sysfs Interface
GPIO Information
The following command gives information about GPIO in the system and shows if an IO port was
allocated to a module or Sysfs (user).
root@WRIDPB072:~#cat/sys/kernel/debug/gpio
GPIOs07,platform/sch_gpio.2398,sch_gpio.2398:
gpio5(pcal9555aexp0int)inhi
GPIOs815,intel_qrk_gip_gpio:
GPIOs1631,i2c/00025,pcal9555a,cansleep:
As you can see from the output all the GPIOs of ECS board is divided into 5 chunks:
1. GPIOs 0-1 - Intel Quark X1021 - GPIO[8:9] pins. These are GPIO pins on Legacy I/O bridge.
They are powered and active in S0 state only.
2. GPIOs 2-7 - Intel Quark X1021 - GPIO_SUS[0:5] pins. These are GPIO pins on Legacy I/O
bridge. They are powered and active in S3 (suspend) and S0 states.
3. GPIOs 8-15 - Intel Quark X1021 - GPIO[0:7] pins. These are GPIO pins on GPIO controller.
They are powered and active in S0 state only.
4. GPIOs 16-31 – pcal9555a(pcal9535a) I/O expander.
Exporting a GPIO Port to Sysfs
To make GPIO port controllable from sysfs you'll need to export it. This is done by writing GPIO port
number to /sys/class/gpio/export:
root@WRIDPB072:~#echo‐n"27">/sys/class/gpio/export
When this operation completes successfully a directory corresponding to the GPIO port number will
appear in sysfs. In this case /sys/class/gpio/gpio27. Once you finished working with I/O you should un-
export it by writing the GPIO port number to /sys/class/gpio/unexport.
Setting GPIO Port Direction
I/O direction is set by writing "in" (for input) or "out" (for output) to /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/direction file.
root@WRIDPB072:~#echo‐n"out">/sys/class/gpio/gpio27/direction
2.3 Sample code
GWS-RFID RFID Reader 10
Setting GPIO Port Drive Configuration
When configured for output GPIO ports that are connected to PCAL9555A/PCAL9535A can be
configured to one of the following drive modes:
Resistive high, strong low (drive = pullup)
o This is the default, but it not suitable for driving devices that source significant current,
for example for driving an LED connected between GPIO port and GND (it will work
though if the LED is connected between GPIO and 5V or 3.3V rails)
Resistive low, strong high (drive = pulldown)
Strong low and high (drive = strong)
o This mode is appropriate for most applications.
High Z state (drive = hiz)
(PCAL9555A/PCAL9535A also supports open drain and open source drive modes, but it is not
currently exposed through SysFS)
The drive mode is set by writing the mode string ("pullup", "pulldown", "strong", or "hiz") to
/sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/drive.
root@WRIDPB072:~#echo‐n"strong">/sys/class/gpio/gpio27/drive
Reading and Writing GPIO Port
When GPIO port is configured for input the input value (0 or 1) can be read from
/sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/value file.
root@WRIDPB072:~#cat/sys/class/gpio/gpio27/value
0
When GPIO port is configured for output the output value can be written to the same file:
root@WRIDPB072:~#echo‐n"1">/sys/class/gpio/gpio27/value
root@WRIDPB072:~#echo‐n"0">/sys/class/gpio/gpio27/value

3.1 Distribution Description
The operating system of GWB-RFID/GWS-RFID is based on Wind River IDP XT 3.1(RCPL23 or above).
This Linux distribution is based on the Linux 3.4.91 kernel and the GNU 4.6.3 tool chain.
3.2 Powering the System
Connecting the PoE injector, the system will start up automatically.
Figure 1: Location of PoE injector.
NOTE:
You’d better shut down or reboot the system using a console or a secure shell connection (see next
section for login).
Powering off by disconnecting power cord could cause problems.
Login as ‘root and then issue a ‘poweroff’ or ‘reboot’ command.
root@WRIDPB072:~#poweroff
root@WRIDPB072:~#reboot
Or send ssh remote command to gateway

3.3 Login
The system can be accessed and controlled via a Linux shell called 'console'. The users may invoke
Linux commands to configure something in the procedures of the following sections.
You should plug an usb-to-RS-232 with d’sub cable to USB port for a serial console. GWB-RFID/GWS-
RFID supports two kinds of chip drivers for the cables, FTDI and PL2303.
If using serial console or terminal emulator, the serial port settings are
Setting Value

Parity No
Data Bit 8
Stop Bit 1
Flow Control No
If using secure shell (called SSH), it listens on eth0, the IP depend on DHCP assigned. The eth0 is the
RJ45 connector nearby the DC-In jack on PoE. The secure shell service is disabled by default. You
should enable it via a serial console first.
