Greetings,

After setting my tinkerboard pins 22 and 24 as an Inputs, they reverts to being an output pin on HIgh after around 30 seconds. What is the cause of this? Is this some kind of feature. I don't have this happen on any other pin other than these 2.

anyone? please?

What "cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio" is reporting ?

Are those pins already "in-use" by some other drivers ?

They are not "in-use" by any process...

So, try using them thru "sysfs" and then check again /sys/kernel/debug/gpio every 30 secs :

echo 22 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo 24 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio22/direction
echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio24/direction

 

Thanks for your reply.

I work primarily from python. But I ran the commands you suggested:

 

# sudo echo 22 > /sys/class/gpio/export
# -bash: /sys/class/gpio/export: Permission denied

 

# sudo echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio22/direction

# -bash: /sys/class/gpio/gpio22/direction: No such file or directory

"sudo" doesn't work in such redirection, it is apply only on left part which is "echo"  only.

Try login as root first, then try again, or do it this way :

sudo su - -c "echo 22 > /sys/class/gpio/export"
sudo su - -c "echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio22/direction"

 

same problem:

 

# sudo su -c echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio/export

# -bash: /sys/class/gpio/gpio/export: No such file or directory

 

# sudo su -c echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio/gpio22/direction

-bash: /sys/class/gpio/gpio/gpio22/direction: No such file or directory

 

as root:

 

root@TK-03:~# echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio/export
-su: /sys/class/gpio/gpio/export: No such file or directory

 

root@TK-03:~# echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio22/direction
-su: /sys/class/gpio/gpio22/direction: No such file or directory

You've mistakenly changed the path I've provided by adding "gpio" twice ...

 

Again :

sudo su - -c "echo 22 > /sys/class/gpio/export"
sudo su - -c "echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio22/direction"

 

thanks.

export works, 2nd line doesn't

Is the SPI enabled in DT ? it seems that those pins are maybe shared ...

I don't understand.
