Hello there,

I have built a package (PlebGPIO) which simplifies access to the GPIO bus used by Raspberry Pi and some other companies.  Written in ‘C’, the repo is here:  https://github.com/briantbutton/plebgpio.  We use it in production on Ubuntu 24.04.  AFAIK, it is only relevant in an ARM64 architecture.

The GPIO can used for a lot of things, but mostly for LEDs and buttons, which is the sweet spot for PlebGPIO.  GPIO interfaces on Raspberry Pi are currently a mess of partial, abandoned and nonfunctional libraries (see links below).

Since we use SystemD to simplify things for the application software, it seemed like a Debian package would be the best way to deliver this to folks.  You know, official, easy, authorized.  Installable with apt without any special hassle.

I have a package together as of today.  It installs correctly with dpkg but I do not know what to do next.

Hopefully someone will tell me.



Best,

Brian
