Getting `edge` causes a crash on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5

[just-doit]

Board Type

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5

Operating System

Linux 6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.20-1+rpt1 (2024-03-07) aarch64 GNU/Linux

Swift Version

Swift version 5.10 (swift-5.10-RELEASE)
Target: aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
Prebuild

Description

A pin is configured as an input and should call up a function when it changes (both high->low and low-high).
When getting the value of the edge property an exception is raised.
In my opinion, this is caused by the getter making the following call:

            return GPIOEdge(rawValue: getStringValue("gpio "+String(id)+"/edge")!)!

This ends up at readFromFile with the following path: /sys/class/gpio/gpio0/edge.
However, this does not exist on my device, so that nil is returned.
This is unwrapped with ! -> boom.

This is what /sys/class/gpiolooks like:

Hi, can you try running your application with sudo and if that doesn't work try executing:

echo the_id_you_are_using >/sys/class/gpio/export
ls /sys/class/gpio

From what I see the gpio file the library needs for the edge feature has not been created at all, the gpiochip ones should point to the controller or similar devices, no the individual gpios.

HI, thanks for the quick response.

Running with sudo makes no difference.
I build this small sample app:

import Foundation
import SwiftyGPIO


let gpios = SwiftyGPIO.GPIOs(for:.RaspberryPi4)

if let pin = gpios[.P17]
{
    print("\(pin.edge)")
}

The crash is:

SwiftyGPIO/SwiftyGPIO.swift:73: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

Ok, the raspberry people broke it in the kernel last month, can you try again with release 1.4.4 and using for:.RaspberryPi4_2024 instead?

It would be great if you could also report back if gpios are actually working when you set some value, I'm still not sure if they changed something else or not, but can't test it right now.

This is a bit better, but I can't get an output pin to change it's value.

My test app is now this:

import Foundation
import SwiftyGPIO


let gpios = SwiftyGPIO.GPIOs(for:.RaspberryPi4_2024)

if let pin = gpios[.P17]
{
    print("\(pin.edge)")
    pin.edge = .BOTH
    print("\(pin.edge)")
}

if let pin = gpios[.P4]
{
    pin.value = 1
    print("\(pin.value)")
    pin.direction = .OUT
    pin.value = 0
    print("\(pin.value)")
    Thread.sleep(forTimeInterval: 10.0)
    pin.value = 1
    print("\(pin.value)")
}

It outputs

NONE
BOTH
0
0
0

gpioinfo returns this for the both pins I've used:

	line   4:      "GPIO4"       unused   input  active-high
	line  17:     "GPIO17"      "sysfs"   input  active-high [used]

The output pin stays high, when measured.
