Here are some easy instructions to get you up and running with the
wiring-x86.py
module.
The wiring-x86.py
module supports these platforms:
The original YOCTO Linux OS provided by Intel® must be used. For more information on how to get this software go to Intel® Makers site. This module will only work with that combination of boards and OS since it uses specific Intel® GPIO driver sysfs interface.
The wiring-x86.py
module also requires Python 2.7 which is installed as
standard on.
The first step is to install the Wiring-x86 module. There are several ways to do this.
When using the original YOCTO Linux distribution provided with the board this is the easiest method to get the module installed. A tarball of the latest code can be downloaded from GitHub as follows:
$ curl -O -L http://github.com/emutex/wiring-x86/archive/master.tar.gz
Install it as follows:
$ tar zxvf master.tar.gz
$ cd wiring-x86-master/
$ sudo python setup.py install
The Wiring-x86 source code and bug tracker is in the wiring-x86 repository on GitHub.
You can clone the repository and install from it as follows:
$ git clone https://github.com/emutex/wiring-x86.git
$ cd wiring-x86
$ sudo python setup.py install
If available on your system, use pip installer to get the package from PyPI, the Python Package Index:
$ sudo pip install wiring-x86
If pip
isn’t available on your system then easy_install may be:
$ sudo easy_install wiring-x86
The wiring-x86
repository and tarball includes several example
programs. There are also shown in the Examples section.
