| 17 | Description |
| 18 | ----------- |
| 19 | |
| 20 | The Philips PCA9539 is a 16 bit low power I/O device. |
| 21 | All 16 lines can be individually configured as an input or output. |
| 22 | The input sense can also be inverted. |
| 23 | The 16 lines are split between two bytes. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Sysfs entries |
| 27 | ------------- |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Each is a byte that maps to the 8 I/O bits. |
| 30 | A '0' suffix is for bits 0-7, while '1' is for bits 8-15. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | input[01] - read the current value |
| 33 | output[01] - sets the output value |
| 34 | direction[01] - direction of each bit: 1=input, 0=output |
| 35 | invert[01] - toggle the input bit sense |
| 36 | |
| 37 | input reads the actual state of the line and is always available. |
| 38 | The direction defaults to input for all channels. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | |
| 41 | General Remarks |
| 42 | --------------- |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Note that each output, direction, and invert entry controls 8 lines. |
| 45 | You should use the read, modify, write sequence. |
| 46 | For example. to set output bit 0 of 1. |
| 47 | val=$(cat output0) |
| 48 | val=$(( $val | 1 )) |
| 49 | echo $val > output0 |
