Good evening,
i’d like to share with you some Raspberry Pi related work done for Plan 9 BCM port.
Using slightly modified (unmodified in most cases) uartmini.c GPIO functions i implemented #G/gpio device:
Structure is as follows:
#G/gpio/
/bcm/ ...
/board/ ...
/wpi/ ...
/OK
- bcm uses board revision specific pin numbering
- board uses human readable pin addressing (board revision agnostic)
- wpi uses wiringPi pin assignment (board revision agnostic)
- OK pin can be used to switch on/off OK LED on the board
Each directory above contains files that are mapped to pins.
Maybe it is an overkill, i don’t know.
I used this page as reference for pin assignments:

Reference:
- mount gpio:
% bind -a '#G’ /dev
- read pin state:
% cat /dev/gpio/board/GPIO0
- write pin state:
% echo 1 > /dev/gpio/board/GPIO0
% echo 0 > /dev/gpio/board/GPIO0
- select pin function:
% echo func out > /dev/gpio/board/GPIO0
(possible functions are: "in", "out", "f5", "f4", "f0", "f1", "f2", "f3”)
- select pin pull state:
% echo pull up > /dev/gpio/board/GPIO0
(possible pull states are: "off", "down", "up”)
This is completely untested. I’m still waiting for cables and breadboard, i don’t want to play with pins until i’ll have it. Though OK pin (LED) seems to behave.
Maybe something in this implementation is wrong or has no sense at all? If anyone would like to try to play with it, here is the commit (also includes /dev/cputemp i sent to this list some time ago). I don’t want to send the patch yet.

Please remember it is not tested - use it at your own risk.
Other things:
1. OK LED is also used by emmc.c (search for okay(int))
2. devgpio.c keeps its own version of some GPIO related functions(gpio in/out, function selection, pull up/down state) defined in uartmini.c - it should probably be removed from uartmini.c but because i can’t test serial console connection i didn’t touch it
3. Is #G/gpio scheme OK (unreserved, correct)?
4. Events are not supported
Greetings,
Krystian
