Accessing GPIO from a Driver
The GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) subsystem in Linux provides a unified interface for device drivers to interact with hardware pins that can be configured as either inputs or outputs. These pins are often used to control LEDs, read button states, or communicate with simple peripherals. The Linux kernel abstracts the hardware details, allowing you to request, configure, and manipulate GPIO pins using standard kernel APIs. This abstraction makes your driver code more portable and easier to maintain, regardless of the underlying hardware specifics.

Once you have requested and configured a GPIO pin as an output, you can control its value directly from your driver. Toggling a GPIO pin means changing its state from high to low or vice versa. This is typically done using the gpio_set_value() function, which sets the output level of the pin. Referencing the configuration code above, after you have successfully set the direction, you are ready to toggle the pin as needed by your device logic.
