One question: How did you solve the one-value-per-file in the sysfs interface?By exporting the group as a whole: /sys/.../gpiogroup248/value where value contains a decimal representing the group value. Again, this respects the ordering of the pins: Actual pins: 0x2D (b 0010 1101) Selected pins: 6 3 0 1 Readout: 6 (b 0 1 1 0) The export sysfs file does, however, accept multiple gpio IDs for groups. Not sure if this is a 'violation' per se...
If I understand correctly, it's a violation (single-value should hold for read and write). To solve it, I have the following in mind: /sys/.../gpiogroupXXX/ contains files "bit0" ... "bit31" which contain a gpio number each, empty if "unconnected". Roland
