Hello guys! I was wondering if the emDebian linux distro is supporting the GPIO on mini2440 out of the box? I definitely need a OS in which I could control the GPIO with a C developed app. Is emDebian and uBoot a good choice? Maybe I should rather try Angstrom linux? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
Hi, GPIO is hardware so you must have a driver to use it. What do you want to do with GIPO? Use 1 or 2 pins? Me I using emdebian, and GIPO connected to user button, so I can use default mini2440 kernel driver.
Hi themadmax, what I actually want to do is use few GPIO pins (can not tell how many yet) from a program written in C. I want to install Emdebian, to get rid off QTopia, default Linux and other soft preinstalled on the board. I want to have a clean OS installation to add the needed components by myself later and duplicate the installation on a SD Card. In the prior stage of my project I used a miniATX board and LPT port to communicate with my other board. Now I want to make the whole device smaller and use GPIO, because of the lack of LPT. Any help appreciated! Thanks!
