15:55 <rcn-ee> zmatt, i think i found a decent replacement for the gpio-bone drivers we've been backporting.. https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/gpio/gpio-aggregator.html https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpio/gpio-aggregator.c?h=v6.9-rc6 been testing on beagley-ai to first 'copy' the rpi4 pinmux, but then finding i can do 'config-pin' things too.. doing a write-up here..

15:55 <rcn-ee> https://openbeagle.org/docs/docs.beagleboard.io/-/issues/61 i know you've dealt with the old driver alot, do you see any obvious it's missing ?

23:55 <zmatt> is gpiod usable from shell scripts yet? or does it still rudely change the state of gpios when you close the file descriptor?

23:55 <zmatt> can it be opened by multiple processes at the same time?

23:56 <zmatt> what benefit does it offer over sysfs-gpio?

23:59 <zmatt> and (as with uio and spidev) they keep repeating the obnoxious thing of having to add your own compatible-string instead of defining a standard one
