Configuring GPIO

  1. To configure GPIO, perform the following:

    Execute the following command to configure GPIO0:

    cd /sys/class/gpio
    echo 448 > export
  2. Locate to the GPIO0 directory:
    cd gpio448
    Note: In this command, 448 represents the sys number of the pin. For more information, see GPIO Pinout.
  3. Configure the direction of GPIO0 as in:
    echo in > direction
  4. Alternatively, configure the direction of GPIO0 as out:
    echo out > direction
  5. Configure the voltage level of GPIO0 as high:
    echo 1 > value
    Tip: You can use an oscilloscope to check the voltage level.
  6. Configure the voltage level of GPIO0 as low:
    echo 0 > value
    Tip: You can use an oscilloscope to check the voltage level.
  7. Connect the 3.3V Power pin with the GPIO0, and check the voltage level of GPIO0:
    cat value
  8. Connect the GND pin with the GPIO0, and check the voltage level of GPIO0:
    cat value
