Hi there,

I noticed that current Raspbian distributions use an extra group called "gpio" for /dev/sys/gpio access. Somewhere I read that this coud be accomplished via udev but I also read that /sys is not affected by udev (only /dev). Anyhow, what can I do to permanently set gpio permissions to a group e.g. "gpio"? Would it be of general interest to include this in Armbian?

Did you read through this already?

Thanks, @tkaiser, of course I hadn't, it's exactly what I was talking about. I will move over to that thread then.

I would better try out whether such a udev rule works and if so propose a simple change to Armbian to enable users who are member of gpio group to access the stuff as unprivileged users. It needs testing, it needs code, it does not need more frustrating babbling with the only result afterwards that nothing happens.
