I have the hardware. Currently it is accessed from an old Laptop with
the Windows-binary of the program. I would like to replace the Laptop
and use a FreeBSD version of the program.
The code in question is:
---snip---
const int banks[4]={18,23,24,25};
[...]
for(i=0;i<4;i++)
{
INP_GPIO(banks[i]);
OUT_GPIO(banks[i]);
if(i==bank)
{
GPIO_SET = 1 << banks[i]; // enable bank
}
else
{
GPIO_CLR = 1 << banks[i];// disable bank
}
}
---snip---
When looking at sys/gpio.h, I have no idea how I shall translate the
above into something FreeBSD understands. Could you please explain how
the above translates into "FreeBSD-gpio-speak"?
Bye,
Alexander.
