Step by step using GPIO on VIM2

I did flash my old VIM2 max via Kresque and installed Ubuntu I can’t get wiringpi to work.
Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Kernel 5.5.0-rc2

root@v2001:~# gpio readall
±-----±----±------------------±-----±–±—±-- Model Khadas-Edge —±---±–±-----±---------------------------±----±-----+

Bus error

So I’ve cloned WiringPi from https://github.com/khadas/WiringPi.git
and ran: ./build
running into:
runRemote.c: In function ‘runRemoteCommands’:
runRemote.c:63:32: error: ‘PI_GPIO_MASK’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘__FD_MASK’?
if (noLocalPins && ((pin & PI_GPIO_MASK) == 0))
^~~~~~~~~~~~
__FD_MASK
runRemote.c:63:32: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
Makefile:55: recipe for target ‘runRemote.o’ failed
make: *** [runRemote.o] Error 1

I would like to connect a 433 transmitter to GPIO23

Anyone did something like this before and can share experience ?

Hello mate, Can you try using a more recent firmware, it might fix your problem :slight_smile:

Sure, which would you recommend to get it working?

Try a latest release of Focal (ubuntu 20.04) of 4.9 kernel, it will ensure stability and will have wiring-pi preinstalled, make sure it was something newer than 20200530…

no joy, still the same:
uname -r
5.5.0-rc2
and cdrom/dvd is not working either:

My VIM2 is now a pihole, that’s all it can do for me.

as far as I can see there is no Ubuntu 20.04 newer than 20200530 on:
https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware/VIM2/Ubuntu/EMMC/

I’ve found such under:
https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware/VIM2/Ubuntu/SD_USB/

but I will not install the OS on SD or USB

did you read this ?
you can’t build that library as-is, the pinout is slightly different, and needs modification…
try go through this again…

Yes, not ready yet for Khadas, I see. I handle my GPIO needs with my Raspi and Odroid and leave the VIM for what it can handle. It’s not very well made up yet, not even cdrom is working.
This hardware could use a bigger/more proactive community.
