VIM1 GPIO Interrupts

Introduction

The page leads you to use GPIO interrupts with the GPIO number test program on Khadas SBC.

Here we use GPIOH_6 on VIM3 as an example.

Hardware Connection

Connect the physical pins PIN20 and PIN15 by using a DuPont line.

System Configuration

Get GPIOH_6 number

Refer to 40-Pin Header, the GPIO number you get is 433.

Export GPIO

$ echo 433 | sudo tee /sys/class/gpio/export

Please use gpio readall to check the status of GPIOH_6, if it is not shown as a normal GPIO, you need to remove uart3 from overlays in file /boot/env.txt.
Check the Device Tree Overlay for more details.
