[Haifux] [HAIFUX LECTURE] GPIO, SPI, and I2C Control from Userspace, the True Linux Way by Baruch Siach

[Eli Billauer]

On Monday, June 27th (TOMORROW), at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear 
Baruch Siach talk about

    GPIO, SPI, and I2C Control from Userspace, the True Linux Way


---------------

Abstract

General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO), Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), 
and Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C), are common methods for digital 
communication between electronic components. The Linux kernel, being a 
popular choice for embedded solutions, provides a general abstraction 
layer for each of those communication methods. Modern Linux kernels also 
include drivers for many hardware modules implementing GPIO, SPI, or 
I2C. The abstraction layers provide a generic way to communicate with 
electronic devices, which is independent from the details of specific 
hardware implementation. Each abstraction layer provides API for kernel 
code, as well as userspace users.

In this talk I'll present the basics of each communication method, and 
its generic userspace interface that Linux provides.
