Our fifth 96Boards OpenHours session the team discussed in more detail enabling the GPIO libraries on 96Boards.  To watch this weeks’ session go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbTo3BwURg8&feature=em-subs_digest

Below is an overview of what was discussed including the time in the video where this topic was discussed.

The week started off with a recap from last week:

Last week the team discussed General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) and low speed expansion header, these interfaces help us manipulate and interpret data from the environment using our 96Boards.  To watch last weeks’ session go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzOy_WV_HwU&index=4&list=PL-NF6S9MM_W1QBjUc2B5Pg502bz7qslxk

Be sure to stay tune in next week where we will discuss installing Docker on aarch64 with the reference platform build on a 96Boards CE-edition https://www.96boards.org/

Please remember, if you get stuck, there are resources to help you through the installation. Feel free to check out the 96Boards forums, 96Boards wiki, or Freenode IRC channel #96boards (there are many ways to access IRC, this website is one of them). Dig around the wiki, create a new forum thread, and/or post a question in the chat.
