Issues about GPIO debug

tony_l_cai — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 07:02:44 GMT

Hi，all

Now I want to "cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio", but I found "debugfs_create_file" was called but didnt reate the path "sys/kernel/debug/gpio",and both the CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and CONFIG_DEBUG_FS are open. but when debugfs_create_file was to create the gpio node, it failed to create the node. and I want to use the dump_stack to trace, and the dump_stack cannot be used, in another word, it cannot dump the log.

So, I have the 2 questions: 1. how to create the GPIO node? Can I use mount the debugfs before entering to kernel? where to add the cmd?

2. how to use dump_stack? why cant I dump the log?

help,plz,3Q!

Hi tony

for gpio node usage please look below links

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-1459

http://falsinsoft.blogspot.com/2012/11/access-gpio-from-linux-user-space.html

for debugging purposes one can look at appnote below

regarding debugfs please check below and post on kernel.org

Dear igor，

Now Iwant to tell you my steps for GPIO test，

Firstly， I change the high/low signal in codebase, after I measured I found it was right

Secondly, I change the high/low signal in console by echo cmd, after I measured I found it cannot change it

I also found the GPIO value after “cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio” is not right.

So Please help me,3Q!
