Hi @numbqq ,

Can you please clarify on how to remap PIN 36 on the VIM 3 as a GPIO.

I was provided the following table from sales a while ago as to what pins on the VIM3 can be remapped as GPIO pins:

Khadas_SBC_GPIO list
Khadas_SBC_GPIO list568×658 71.4 KB

Can you please let me know how the highlighted PINs (except PIN 10 and 12- ADC) can be remapped as GPIO.

Thank you

You can’t use PIN36 as a normal GPIO.

Just remove the overlays in /boot/env.txt.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. May I also please know if PIN 38 of VIM3 can be remapped to GPIO?

I was provided the table above from Khadas, I guess there was some mistake. Can you please let me know if there are any other pins on the table that are highlighted which can not be remapped to GPIO as I would need to update our design as soon as possible.
