Support for Raspberry Pi 5

[nashafa]

I'm having trouble getting this library to work on a Raspberry Pi 5. My understanding is that GPIO support has a few breaking changes on the Pi 5; this may or may not be related to my issue.

I've installed lua-periphery with luarocks and am using Lua 5.1. I'm on Bookworm and Linux kernel 6.6.

When using the sysfs GPIO mode I get the following error:

Opening GPIO: writing 'export': Invalid argument [errno 22]

When attempting to use the character device GPIO mode (to target /dev/gpiochip4), I get the following error.

c-periphery library built without character device GPIO support.

Let me know if there's any further information I can provide or any additional tests to run. Thanks for the help!

Hmm, strange that it wasn't built with character device GPIO support. It could be a bug with the GPIO cdev support tests in the c-periphery Makefile. Do you happen to have a log of the LuaRocks build?

I ended up trying with different Lua versions to no avail. The following log is with Lua 5.4.

It's clear that DPERIPHERY_GPIO_CDEV_SUPPORT in the Makefile is evaluating to 0, but I'm not sure why. I do appear to have a gpio.h file in /usr/include/linux/ with the macro and enum that are being checked for.

I'm having the same issue on rpi zero 2

I had the same issue on rpi zero 2
I fixed it by building lua-periphery from source and before building changing line 23 in lua-periphery/c-periphery/Makefile to :
CFLAGS += -DPERIPHERY_VERSION_COMMIT=\"$(COMMIT_ID)\" -DPERIPHERY_GPIO_CDEV_SUPPORT=1
