C++ embeddded GPIO library (supports sysfs, memmap register)

1. Raspberry Pi
   1. memory mapped register access (/dev/gpiomem)
   2. sysfs with C++ stream (/sys/class/gpio)
   3. sysfs with classic C file IO (/sys/class/gpio)

#include "memmapdevice.h"
typedef dgpio::pin<dgpio::memmapdevice> pin;

pin p21 = pin(21);
p21.init(pin::dir::out, pin::status::off);
p21.set(pin::status::on);

p21.init(pin::dir::in);
pin::status status = pin::status::on;
while (status != pin::status::off) {
	status = p21.get();
}

p21.deinit();

Use the include and typedef for the implementation you want to use. Your code will be the same regardless of the choice of GPIO driver selected. In this example, the memmap device driver is used. The library will talk directly to the ARM CPU's registers to control the pins.

// #include <sysfsdevice_filehandler.h>
// typedef dgpio::pin<dgpio::sysfsdevice_filehandler> pin;

// #include "sysfsdevice_stream.h"
// typedef dgpio::pin<dgpio::sysfsdevice_stream> pin;

#include "memmapdevice.h"
typedef dgpio::pin<dgpio::memmapdevice> pin;

namespace dgpio {
template <class D>
class pin {
public:

    enum class status : unsigned { off  = 0u, on };
    enum class dir { in, out };

    pin(unsigned gpio);
	void init(dir dir = dir::in, status status = status::off);
	void deinit();

	status get();
	void set(status status);
	
};	
}

• constructor: pin(gpio)
• init: init(dir, initial status)
• deinit: deinit()
• getter: get(): status
• setter: set(status)

Add the src/lib folder to your include path
Add the relevant cpp source file(s) from src/lib to your build list. Ideally, only build and link the one that you're using. See section Small footprint below.
Compiler support: ISO C++ 17 or higher is required. You may actively need to set that (std=c++17) if your build errors.

There are 2 examples in the src/ folder:

• example.cpp: read or write a pin.
• blinky.cpp: blink a pin

1. Raspberry Pi
   On Raspberry OS, the user that runs your program has to be in the gpio group. When using Raspberry's tools to create an image, your user will be in that group.

The code uses C++ constructs that are resolved at compile time.
To keep the firmware size as small as possible, only add the source file (.cpp) of the implementation that you use in the build.

• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, raspbian bullseye 32 bit lite, gcc version 10.2.1 20210110 (Raspbian 10.2.1-6+rpi1)
