How to drive the GPIOs: the GPIO utility

Several DynaGATE 10-12 interfaces are controlled by their GPIO. To manage these interfaces, you will
need to control the relevant GPIO pin.
To drive a GPIO, use the GPIO utility: gpio_utility.
gpio_utility allows you to:
Read / Write a GPIO status
l
Set a GPIO as input or output
l
Unexport a GPIO.
l
The GPIOs are exported by default at startup.
To read the GPIO status (for example: the status of LED 1), enter the following command:
gpio_utility gpio117
The output is the following:
If LED 1 is ON, then gpio117 = 1
l
If LED 1 is OFF, then gpio117 = 0
l
To set the GPIO status (for example: the status of LED 1), enter the following commands:
#turn led on
gpio_utility gpio117 1
#turn led off
gpio_utility gpio117 0
