Hardware access for Microchip boards

Microchip

Microchip Peripheral I/O Python Package

This package provides easy access to various hardware peripherals found on Microchip AT91/SAMA5 processors and Xplained boards running Linux. The API is clean, consistent, flexible, documented, and well tested to make navigating and exercising even the most complex hardware peripherals a trivial task.

Supported Interfaces

• ADC - Analog-to-Digital Converter

• DevMem - Read and Write System Memory

• GPIO - General Purpose I/O

• I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit

• SMBus - System Management Bus

• Input - Input Subsystem (Mouse/Keyboard/Touchscreen)

• LED - Light Emitting Diode Light Sources

• PWM - Pulse Width Modulation

• SPI - Serial Peripheral Interface Bus

• Serial - RS-232

• CPU and Board Utilities

Examples

Here’s an example of how simple it is to fire up a Python interpreter and toggle a GPIO.

>>> from mpio import GPIO
>>> gpio = GPIO(107, GPIO.OUT)
>>> gpio.set(True)
>>> gpio.set(False)

Installation

You can install from PyPi by default with:

pip install mpio
