BYTGPIO(4)

BYTGPIO(4) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the bytgpio page — it lives in the Kernel Interfaces Manual, and it's all about the Intel Bay Trail SoC GPIO controller. no cap, it's a whole vibe ✨

NAME 🎀

bytgpio — the Intel Bay Trail SoC GPIO controller, but make it a manual page.

SYNOPSIS 🦋

Literally just these two lines:

device gpio
device bytgpio

DESCRIPTION 💖

bytgpio is the driver for the GPIO controller that can be found in Intel's Bay Trail SoC family. it's giving "small chip, very important pins" energy 👑

Bay Trail SoC has three banks of GPIO pins exposed to userland as /dev/gpiocN, where N is 0, 1, and 2. yes, exactly those numbers, don't come for me 😭

Pins in each bank are pre-named to match names on boards schematics:

• GPIO_S0_SCnn
• GPIO_S0_NCnn
• GPIO_S5_nn

so if you see those names, that's the whole point — they're matching the schematic names, periodt 🌸

SEE ALSO 🔥

Go be nosy, bestie:

• gpio(3)
• gpio(4)
• gpioctl(8)

HISTORY ⭐

The bytgpio manual page first appeared in FreeBSD 11.1. iconic debut behavior, honestly 💫

AUTHORS 🫶

This driver and man page was written by Oleksandr Tymoshenko <gonzo@FreeBSD.org>. we love a credited icon 💜

okay that's the whole page, bestie! this one came from Debian, dated May 9, 2017, and it's BYTGPIO(4) — mwah 💋✨🎀
