Introduction

This application note provides steps to use VisionFive 2's GPIO pins to make an LED Dot Matrix display with countdown and StarFive logo through an example program with Python.

Tip: VisonFive.gpio is compatible with the RPi.GPIO command, which means that the RPi.GPIO python demo can be run on VisionFive 2. In addition, the callback function of API add_event_detect() has been optimized compared to RPi.GPIO, which adds a edge_type parameter in callback function. Therefore, the python demo of RPi.GPIO related to callback functions needs to be modified manually by adding edge_type parameter.
