lgpio (local /dev/gpiochip I/F)

lgpio provides all the standard Linux GPIO features.

• reading and writing GPIO singly and in groups
• software timed PWM and waves
• GPIO callbacks
• pipe notification of GPIO alerts
• I2C wrapper
• SPI wrapper
• serial link wrapper
• a simple interface to start and stop new threads

lgpio uses the new /dev/gpiochip interface rather than the deprecated syfs interface.

rgpio (local & remote /dev/gpiochip I/F)

rgpio provides all the standard Linux GPIO features.

• reading and writing GPIO singly and in groups
• software timed PWM and waves
• GPIO callbacks
• I2C wrapper
• SPI wrapper
• serial link wrapper
• simple file handling
• creating and running scripts on the rgpiod daemon
• a simple interface to start and stop new threads

rgpio uses the new /dev/gpiochip interface rather than the deprecated syfs interface.
