This command gets information for a GPIO of a gpiochip. In particular it gets the
GPIO number, kernel usage flags, its user, and its purpose.
The usage flags are bits.
Bit value Bit meaning
0 1 GPIO in use by the kernel
1 2 GPIO is an output
2 4 GPIO is active low
3 8 GPIO is open drain
4 16 GPIO is open source
5 32 GPIO is pulled up

7 128 GPIO is not biased up or down
The user and purpose fields are filled in by the software which has claimed the GPIO
and may be blank.
Example
lgLineInfo_t lInfo;
status = lgGpioGetLineInfo(h, gpio, &lInfo);
if (status == LG_OKAY)
{
printf("lFlags=%d name=%s user=%s0,
lInfo.lines, lInfo.name, lInfo.user))
}

int lgGpioSetUser(int handle, const char *gpiouser)
This sets the user string to be associated with each claimed GPIO.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpiouser: a string up to 32 characters long
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
Example
status = lgGpioSetUser(h, "my_title");

This claims a GPIO for input.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
lFlags: line flags for the GPIO
gpio: the GPIO to be claimed
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
The line flags may be used to set the GPIO as active low, open drain, open source, or
to enable or disable a bias on the pin.
Example
// open GPIO 23 for input
status = lgGpioClaimInput(h, 0, 23);
int lgGpioClaimOutput(int handle, int lFlags, int gpio, int level)
This claims a GPIO for output.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
lFlags: line flags for the GPIO
gpio: the GPIO to be claimed
level: the initial level to set for the GPIO
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
The line flags may be used to set the GPIO as active low, open drain, or open source.
If level is zero the GPIO will be initialised low. If any other value is used the
GPIO will be initialised high.
Example
// open GPIO 31 for high output
status = lgGpioClaimOutput(h, 0, 31, 1);
int lgGpioClaimAlert(int handle, int lFlags, int eFlags, int gpio, int nfyHandle)
This claims a GPIO for alerts on level changes.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
lFlags: line flags for the GPIO
eFlags: event flags for the GPIO
gpio: >= 0, as legal for the gpiochip
nfyHandle: >= 0 (as returned by lgNotifyOpen)
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
The line flags may be used to set the GPIO as active low, open drain, open source, or
to enable or disable a bias on the pin.
The event flags are used to specify alerts for a rising edge, falling edge, or both
edges.
The alerts will be sent to a previously opened notification. If you don't want them
sent to a notification set nfyHandle to -1.
The alerts will also be sent to any callback registered for the GPIO by
lgGpioSetAlertsFunc.
All GPIO alerts are also sent to a callback registered by lgGpioSetSamplesFunc.
Example
status = lgGpioClaimAlert(h, 0, LG_BOTH_EDGES, 16, -1);
int lgGpioFree(int handle, int gpio)
This frees a GPIO.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the GPIO to be freed
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
The GPIO may now be claimed by another user or for a different purpose.
Example

This claims a group of GPIO for inputs.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
lFlags: line flags for the GPIO group
count: the number of GPIO to claim
gpios: the group GPIO
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
The line flags may be used to set the group as active low, open drain, open source, or
to enable or disable a bias on the pins.
gpios is an array of one or more GPIO. The first GPIO is called the group leader and
is used to reference the group as a whole.
Example
int buttons[4] = {9, 7, 2, 6};
status = lgGroupClaimInput(h, 0, 4, buttons);
if (status == LG_OKAY)
{
// OK
}
else
{
// Error
}
int lgGroupClaimOutput(int handle, int lFlags, int count, const int *gpios, const int
*levels)
This claims a group of GPIO for outputs.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
lFlags: line flags for the GPIO group
count: the number of GPIO to claim
gpios: the group GPIO
levels: the initial level for each GPIO
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
The line flags may be used to set the group as active low, open drain, or open source.
gpios is an array of one or more GPIO. The first GPIO is called the group leader and
is used to reference the group as a whole.
levels is an array of initialisation values for the GPIO. If a value is zero the
corresponding GPIO will be initialised low. If any other value is used the
corresponding GPIO will be initialised high.
Example
int leds[7] = {15, 16, 17, 8, 12, 13, 14};
int levels[7] = { 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0};
status = lgGroupClaimInput(h, 0, 7, leds, levels);
if (status == LG_OKAY)
{
// OK
}
else
{
// Error
}
int lgGroupFree(int handle, int gpio)
This frees all the GPIO associated with a group.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the group to be freed
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
The GPIO may now be claimed by another user or for a different purpose.
Example
status = lgGroupFree(9); // free buttons
int lgGpioRead(int handle, int gpio)
This returns the level of a GPIO.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the GPIO to be read
If OK returns 0 (low) or 1 (high).
On failure returns a negative error code.
This command will work for any claimed GPIO (even if a member of a group). For an
output GPIO the value returned will be that last written to the GPIO.
Example
level = lgGpioRead(h, 15); // get level of GPIO 15
int lgGpioWrite(int handle, int gpio, int level)
This sets the level of an output GPIO.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the GPIO to be written
level: the level to set
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
This command will work for any GPIO claimed as an output (even if a member of a
group).
If level is zero the GPIO will be set low (0). If any other value is used the GPIO
will be set high (1).
Example
status = lgGpioWrite(h, 23, 1); // set GPIO 23 high
int lgGroupRead(int handle, int gpio, uint64_t *groupBits)
This returns the levels read from a group.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the group to be read
groupBits: a pointer to a 64-bit memory area for the returned levels
If OK returns the group size and updates groupBits.
On failure returns a negative error code.
This command will work for an output group as well as an input group. For an output
group the value returned will be that last written to the group GPIO.
Note that this command will also work on an individual GPIO claimed as an input or
output as that is treated as a group with one member.
After a successful read groupBits is set as follows.
Bit 0 is the level of the group leader.
Bit 1 is the level of the second GPIO in the group.
Bit x is the level of GPIO x+1 of the group.
Example
// assuming a read group of 4 buttons: 9, 7, 2, 6.
uint64_t bits;
size = lgGroupRead(h, 9, &bits); // 9 is buttons group leader
if (size >= 0) // size of group is returned so size will be 4
{
level_9 = (bits >> 0) & 1;
level_7 = (bits >> 1) & 1;
level_2 = (bits >> 2) & 1;
level_6 = (bits >> 3) & 1;
}
else
{
// error
}
int lgGroupWrite(int handle, int gpio, uint64_t groupBits, uint64_t groupMask)
This sets the levels of an output group.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the group to be written
groupBits: the level to set if the corresponding bit in groupMask is set
groupMask: a mask indicating the group GPIO to be updated
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
The values of each GPIO of the group are set according to the bits
of groupBits.
Bit 0 sets the level of the group leader.
Bit 1 sets the level of the second GPIO in the group.
Bit x sets the level of GPIO x+1 in the group.
However this may be modified by the groupMask. A GPIO is only updated if the
corresponding bit in the mask is 1.
Example
// assuming an output group of 7 LEDs: 15, 16, 17, 8, 12, 13, 14.
// switch on all LEDs
status = lgGroupWrite(h, 15, 0x7f, 0x7f);
// switch off all LEDs
status = lgGroupWrite(h, 15, 0x00, 0x7f);
// switch on first 4 LEDs, leave others unaltered
status = lgGroupWrite(h, 15, 0x0f, 0x0f);
// switch on LED attached to GPIO 13, leave others unaltered
status = lgGroupWrite(h, 15, 32, 32);
int lgTxPulse(int handle, int gpio, int pulseOn, int pulseOff, int pulseOffset, int
pulseCycles)
This starts software timed pulses on an output GPIO.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the GPIO to be written
pulseOn: pulse high time in microseconds
pulseOff: pulse low time in microseconds
pulseOffset: offset from nominal pulse start position
pulseCycles: the number of pulses to be sent, 0 for infinite
If OK returns the number of entries left in the PWM queue for the GPIO.
On failure returns a negative error code.
If both pulseOn and pulseOff are zero pulses will be switched off for that GPIO. The
active pulse, if any, will be stopped and any queued pulses will be deleted.
Each successful call to this function consumes one PWM queue entry.
pulseCycles cycles are transmitted (0 means infinite). Each cycle consists of pulseOn
microseconds of GPIO high followed by pulseOff microseconds of GPIO low.
PWM is characterised by two values, its frequency (number of cycles per second) and
its duty cycle (percentage of high time per cycle).
The set frequency will be 1000000 / (pulseOn + pulseOff) Hz.
The set duty cycle will be pulseOn / (pulseOn + pulseOff) * 100 %.
E.g. if pulseOn is 50 and pulseOff is 100 the frequency will be 6666.67 Hz and the
duty cycle will be 33.33 %.
pulseOffset is a microsecond offset from the natural start of the PWM cycle.
For instance if the PWM frequency is 10 Hz the natural start of each cycle is at
seconds 0, then 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 etc. In this case if the offset is 20000 microseconds
the cycle will start at seconds 0.02, 0.12, 0.22, 0.32 etc.
Another pulse command may be issued to the GPIO before the last has finished.
If the last pulse had infinite cycles then it will be replaced by the new settings at
the end of the current cycle. Otherwise it will be replaced by the new settings when
all its cycles are compete.
Multiple pulse settings may be queued in this way.
Example
slots_left = lgTxPulse(h, 8, 100000, 100000, 0, 0); // flash LED at 5 Hz
slots_left = lgTxPulse(h, 30, 1500, 18500, 0, 0); // move servo to centre
slots_left = lgTxPulse(h, 30, 2000, 18000, 0, 0); // move servo clockwise
int lgTxPwm(int handle, int gpio, float pwmFrequency, float pwmDutyCycle, int pwmOffset,
int pwmCycles)
This starts software timed PWM on an output GPIO.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the GPIO to be pulsed
pwmFrequency: PWM frequency in Hz (0=off, 0.1-10000)
pwmDutyCycle: PWM duty cycle in % (0-100)
pwmOffset: offset from nominal pulse start position
pwmCycles: the number of pulses to be sent, 0 for infinite
If OK returns the number of entries left in the PWM queue for the GPIO.
On failure returns a negative error code.
Each successful call to this function consumes one PWM queue entry.
PWM is characterised by two values, its frequency (number of cycles per second) and
its duty cycle (percentage of high time per cycle).
Another PWM command may be issued to the GPIO before the last has finished.
If the last pulse had infinite cycles then it will be replaced by the new settings at
the end of the current cycle. Otherwise it will be replaced by the new settings when
all its cycles are complete.
Multiple PWM settings may be queued in this way.
int lgTxServo(int handle, int gpio, int pulseWidth, int servoFrequency, int servoOffset,
int servoCycles)
This starts software timed servo pulses on an output GPIO.
I would only use software timed servo pulses for testing purposes. The timing jitter
will cause the servo to fidget. This may cause it to overheat and wear out
prematurely.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the GPIO to be pulsed
pulseWidth: pulse high time in microseconds (0=off, 500-2500)
servoFrequency: the number of pulses per second (40-500).
servoOffset: offset from nominal pulse start position
servoCycles: the number of pulses to be sent, 0 for infinite
If OK returns the number of entries left in the PWM queue for the GPIO.
On failure returns a negative error code.
Each successful call to this function consumes one PWM queue entry.
Another servo command may be issued to the GPIO before the last has finished.
If the last pulse had infinite cycles then it will be replaced by the new settings at
the end of the current cycle. Otherwise it will be replaced by the new settings when
all its cycles are compete.
Multiple servo settings may be queued in this way.
int lgTxWave(int handle, int gpio, int count, lgPulse_p pulses)
This starts a wave on an output group of GPIO.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the group leader
count: the number of pulses in the wave
pulses: the pulses
If OK returns the number of entries left in the wave queue for the group.
On failure returns a negative error code.
Each successful call to this function consumes one queue entry.
This command starts a wave of pulses.
pulses is an array of pulses to be transmitted on the group.
Each pulse is defined by the following triplet:
bits: the levels to set for the selected GPIO
mask: the GPIO to select
delay: the delay in microseconds before the next pulse
Another wave command may be issued to the group before the last has finished
transmission. The new wave will start when the previous wave has competed.
Multiple waves may be queued in this way.
Example
#include <stdio.h>
#include <lgpio.h>
#define PULSES 2000
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int GPIO[] = {16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21};
int levels[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1};
int h;
int e;
int mask;
int delay;
int p;
lgPulse_t pulses[PULSES];
h = lgGpiochipOpen(0); // open /dev/gpiochip0
if (h < 0) { printf("ERROR: %s (%d)0, lguErrorText(h), h); return 1; }
e = lgGroupClaimOutput(h, 0, 6, GPIO, levels);
if (e < 0) { printf("ERROR: %s (%d)0, lguErrorText(e), e); return 1; }
mask = 0;
p = 0;
for (p=0; p<PULSES; p++)
{
pulses[p].bits = (p+1)>>2; // see what sort of pattern we get
pulses[p].mask = mask; // with bits and mask changing
pulses[p].delay = (PULSES + 500) - p;
if (++mask > 0x3f) mask = 0;
}
lgTxWave(h, GPIO[0], p, pulses);
while (lgTxBusy(h, GPIO[0], LG_TX_WAVE)) lguSleep(0.1);
lgGpiochipClose(h);
}
int lgTxBusy(int handle, int gpio, int kind)
This returns true if transmissions of the specified kind are active on the GPIO or
group.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the gpio or group to be checked
kind: LG_TX_PWM or LG_TX_WAVE
If OK returns 1 for busy and 0 for not busy.
On failure returns a negative error code.
Example
while (lgTxBusy(h, 15, LG_TX_PWM)) // wait for PWM to finish on GPIO 15
lguSleep(0.1);
int lgTxRoom(int handle, int gpio, int kind)
This returns the number of entries available for queueing transmissions of the
specified kind on the GPIO or group.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the gpio or group to be checked
kind: LG_TX_PWM or LG_TX_WAVE
If OK returns the number of free entries (0 if none).
On failure returns a negative error code.

while (lgTxRoom(h, 17, LG_TX_WAVE) > 0))
{
// queue another wave
}
int lgGpioSetDebounce(int handle, int gpio, int debounce_us)
This sets the debounce time for a GPIO.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the GPIO to be configured
debounce_us: the debounce time in microseconds
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
This only affects alerts.
An alert will only be issued if the edge has been stable for at least debounce
microseconds.
Generally this is used to debounce mechanical switches (e.g. contact bounce).
Suppose that a square wave at 5 Hz is being generated on a GPIO. Each edge will last
100000 microseconds. If a debounce time of 100001 is set no alerts will be generated,
If a debounce time of 99999 is set 10 alerts will be generated per second.
Note that level changes will be timestamped debounce microseconds after the actual
level change.
Example
lgSetDebounceTime(h, 16, 1000); // set a millisecond of debounce
int lgGpioSetWatchdog(int handle, int gpio, int watchdog_us)
This sets the watchdog time for a GPIO.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the GPIO to be configured
watchdog_us: the watchdog time in microseconds
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
This only affects alerts.
A watchdog alert will be sent if no edge alert has been issued for that GPIO in the
previous watchdog microseconds.
Note that only one watchdog alert will be sent per stream of edge alerts. The
watchdog is reset by the sending of a new edge alert.
The level is set to LG_TIMEOUT (2) for a watchdog alert.
Example
lgSetWatchdogTime(h, 17, 200000); // alert if nothing for 0.2 seconds
int lgGpioSetAlertsFunc(int handle, int gpio, lgGpioAlertsFunc_t cbf, void *userdata)
This sets up a callback to be called when an alert GPIO changes state.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgGpiochipOpen)
gpio: the GPIO to be monitored
cbf: the callback function
userdata: a pointer to arbitrary user data
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
Example
#include <stdio.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <lgpio.h>
void afunc(int e, lgGpioAlert_p evt, void *data)
{
int i;
int userdata = *(int*)data;
for (i=0; i<e; i++)
{
printf("u=%d t=%"PRIu64" c=%d g=%d l=%d f=%d (%d of %d)0,
userdata, evt[i].report.timestamp, evt[i].report.chip,
evt[i].report.gpio, evt[i].report.level,
evt[i].report.flags, i+1, e);
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int h;
int e;
static int userdata=123;
h = lgGpiochipOpen(0);
if (h < 0) { printf("ERROR: %s (%d)0, lguErrorText(h), h); return 1; }
lgGpioSetAlertsFunc(h, GPIO, afunc, &userdata);
e = lgGpioClaimAlert(h, 0, LG_BOTH_EDGES, 23, -1);
if (e < 0) { printf("ERROR: %s (%d)0, lguErrorText(e), e); return 1; }
lguSleep(10);
lgGpiochipClose(h);
}

int lgNotifyOpen(void)
This function requests a free notification.
If OK returns a handle (>= 0).
On failure returns a negative error code.
A notification is a method for being notified of GPIO state changes via a pipe or
socket.
The notification pipes are created in the library working directory (see
lguGetWorkDir).
Pipe notifications for handle x will be available at the pipe named .lgd-nfy* (where *
is the handle number). E.g. if the function returns 15 then the notifications must be
read from .lgd-nfy15.
Socket notifications are returned to the socket which requested the handle.
Example
h = lgNotifyOpen();
if (h >= 0)
{
sprintf(str, ".lgd-nfy%d", h);
fd = open(str, O_RDONLY);
if (fd >= 0)
{
// Okay.
}
else
{
// Error.
}
}
else
{
// Error.
}
int lgNotifyResume(int handle)
This function restarts notifications on a paused notification.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgNotifyOpen)
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.
The notification gets state changes for each associated GPIO.
Each notification occupies 16 bytes in the fifo and has the following structure.
typedef struct
{
uint64_t timestamp; // alert time in nanoseconds
uint8_t chip; // gpiochip device number
uint8_t gpio; // offset into gpio device
uint8_t level; // 0=low, 1=high, 2=timeout
uint8_t flags; // none currently defined
} lgGpioReport_t;
timestamp: the number of nanoseconds since the epoch (start of 1970) level: indicates
the level of the GPIO
flags: no flags are currently defined
For future proofing it is probably best to ignore any notification with non-zero
flags.
Example
// Start notifications for associated GPIO.
lgNotifyResume(h);
int lgNotifyPause(int handle)

This function stops notifications and frees the handle for reuse.
handle: >= 0 (as returned by lgNotifyOpen)
If OK returns 0.
On failure returns a negative error code.

*txBuf
An pointer to a buffer of data to transmit.
txCount
The size of an output buffer.
uint64_t
A 64-bit unsigned value.
*userdata
A pointer to arbitrary user data. This may be used to identify the instance.
You must ensure that the pointer is in scope at the time it is processed. If it is a
pointer to a global this is automatic. Do not pass the address of a local variable. If
you want to pass a transient object then use the following technique.
In the calling function:
user_type *userdata;
user_type my_userdata;
userdata = malloc(sizeof(user_type));
*userdata = my_userdata;
In the receiving function:
user_type my_userdata = *(user_type*)userdata;
free(userdata);
void
Denoting no parameter is required.
watchdog_us
The watchdog time in microseconds.
wordVal: 0-65535
A 16-bit value.
