NAME

Device::Chip::Adapter::Gpiod - Device::Chip::Adapter implementation for Linux GPIO character devices

DESCRIPTION

This module allows Device::Chip to use Linux GPIO character devices through the libgpiod library.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

my $adapter = Device::Chip::Adapter::Gpiod->new(device => "gpiochip0");

Returns a new Device::Chip::Adapter::Gpiod instance. The device argument indicates the GPIO chip to use. It is passed to gpiod_chip_open_lookup(), which takes either a device node name, full path, or chip number. For example, it is possible to use either "gpiochip2", "/dev/gpiochip2", or 2 to open the same device.

PROTOCOLS

Only the GPIO protocol is supported:

my $protocol = $adapter->make_protocol('GPIO');

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

The meta_gpios method is not yet supported.

The tris_gpios method is not yet supported.

Libgpiod supports passing a consumer string when GPIO lines are opened that can identify the application using them. This is currently always set to "Device::Chip".
