Have you tried the following command
:> sudo echo NN > /sys/class/gpio/export
where NN is the gpio device that you want to work with.
If root, you don't need sudo.
Hello, i am new at linux… I use bbb with debian and usb remote desktop I try this command on terminal: /sys/class/gpio/export
I always receive: -bash: /sys/class/gpio/export: Permission denied
I also have change the permisson on the gpio folder per GUI… but without success??
ThankYou
First of all /sys/class/gpio/export is not a command. /sys/class/gpio/export is a path to a pseudo file. Additionally, this file very likely has write permissions only, so attempting to read from this “file” may always fail regardless of the users permissions.
As stated by another person already, you echo(write) a valid value into this file, and then the gpio system drivers enables a related gpio pin for you. In order to reverse this process, you would echo(write) this same value into the unexport pseudo file.
