Driving Beaglebone GPIO through /dev/mem

Question

I\'m trying to write a C program for blinking a LED on the Beaglebone. I know I can use the sysfs way...but I\'d like to see if it is possible to get the same result mapping

Answer 1

for enable GPIO banks....

enableClockModules () {
    // Enable disabled GPIO module clocks.
    if (mapAddress[(CM_WKUP_GPIO0_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] & IDLEST_MASK) {
      mapAddress[(CM_WKUP_GPIO0_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] |= MODULEMODE_ENABLE;
      // Wait for the enable complete.
      while (mapAddress[(CM_WKUP_GPIO0_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] & IDLEST_MASK);
    }
    if (mapAddress[(CM_PER_GPIO1_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] & IDLEST_MASK) {
      mapAddress[(CM_PER_GPIO1_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] |= MODULEMODE_ENABLE;
      // Wait for the enable complete.
      while (mapAddress[(CM_PER_GPIO1_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] & IDLEST_MASK);
    }
    if (mapAddress[(CM_PER_GPIO2_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] & IDLEST_MASK) {
      mapAddress[(CM_PER_GPIO2_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] |= MODULEMODE_ENABLE;
      // Wait for the enable complete.
      while (mapAddress[(CM_PER_GPIO2_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] & IDLEST_MASK);
    }
    if (mapAddress[(CM_PER_GPIO3_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] & IDLEST_MASK) {
      mapAddress[(CM_PER_GPIO3_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] |= MODULEMODE_ENABLE;
      // Wait for the enable complete.
      while (mapAddress[(CM_PER_GPIO3_CLKCTRL - MMAP_OFFSET) / GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE] & IDLEST_MASK);
    }
}

Where...

MMAP_OFFSET = 0x44C00000

MMAP_SIZE = 0x481AEFFF - MMAP_OFFSET

GPIO_REGISTER_SIZE = 4

MODULEMODE_ENABLE = 0x02

IDLEST_MASK = (0x03 << 16)

CM_WKUP = 0x44E00400

CM_PER = 0x44E00000

CM_WKUP_GPIO0_CLKCTRL = (CM_WKUP + 0x8)

CM_PER_GPIO1_CLKCTRL = (CM_PER + 0xAC)

CM_PER_GPIO2_CLKCTRL = (CM_PER + 0xB0)

CM_PER_GPIO3_CLKCTRL = (CM_PER + 0xB4)

I have written a small library that perhaps you might be interested. At the moment only works with digital pins.
