Raspberry Pi: could I control the general purpose I/O pins?

Question

- as I read various forums, I stumble over people complaining about difficulties with I/O control when using Forth on the Raspberry! So please do reassure me so I could (hopefully!) use the VFX Forth rather than Assembler for the control.

Answer 1

Once the file Examples/Lin32/rpi-gpio.fth has been compiled by a root (sudo) user, you can access the GPIO registers directly.

In my "ample spare time" or when I get back to it, I/we will write a higher level GPIO pin driver such as the one we provide with the cross compiler.
