New GPIO driver for OPI5 was created by Guglielmi
Hi,
I'm trying to create a new gpio driver for Orange PI5 due to the fact ARISC driver is not updated and no other existing driver found.
I'm not so sure I'm able to win on this task.. but, let's try.
I have a basic issue and searching on the web I did not found a solution.
I created a kind of empty C driver starting from HAL skeleton.
I built it with HALCOMPILE and I got the file.so I called hal_op5_io.so. (I found the name should have max len..)
I placed the file into folder "usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/".
When I call with "loadrt" my module:
I get an error that module is not found.
I thought it was an error caused by internal code somewhere, so I did another test:
copied all code from hal_parport and just changed file name and the init call, passing my name (hal_op5_io)
but I got the same error.
I can get the same identical error calling a non existing module, like calling "hal_mod_fake".
But the file .so exists in the folder!
Should I install somehow or add this module name somewhere else?
Thanks
Andrea

Found file(REL): ./cnc3040.hal
hal_op5_io: dlopen: /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/hal_op5_io.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
./cnc3040.hal:2: waitpid failed /usr/bin/rtapi_app hal_op5_io
./cnc3040.hal:2: /usr/bin/rtapi_app exited without becoming ready
./cnc3040.hal:2: insmod for hal_op5_io failed, returned -1
Shutting down and cleaning up LinuxCNC...
Note: Using POSIX realtime
LinuxCNC terminated with an error. You can find more information in the log:
/home/andrea/linuxcnc_debug.txt
and
/home/andrea/linuxcnc_print.txt
as well as in the output of the shell command 'dmesg' and in the terminalI can get the same identical error calling a non existing module, like calling "hal_mod_fake".
But the file .so exists in the folder!

I found the issue!
I was building the driver on a VM with Ubuntu and copying the .so file generated to OPI5.
Now I tried to clone the dev repo inside the OPI5 and build the driver on it and it worked.
I mean.. launching the application now I get errors from the code not written yet, but at least
the system can see and use it.
Good starting point!

Guglielmi,
Have You checked latency on the OPI5?
I really would like to compare it with old H3, that I've used before. It was not great if I remember correctly.

I will post a screen-shot as soon as I back at home.
I remember it was around 3us running for more than 2000 seconds, with 6 gears running
How much you can reach with H3?

The results are really good. If I remember correctly it was more then ~30us with H3. Now on normal T530 laptop I'm getting ~15us with hard load (firefox, kicad, solvespace), but we all know that notebooks are poor choice for real time.
Are You using any special tweaks for the OPI5 (like isolcpus or something)?
