## C Library for Linux Peripheral I/O (GPIO, LED, PWM, SPI, I2C, MMIO, Serial)

c-periphery is a small C library for GPIO, LED, PWM, SPI, I2C, MMIO, and Serial peripheral I/O interface access in userspace Linux. c-periphery simplifies and consolidates the native Linux APIs to these interfaces. c-periphery is useful in embedded Linux environments (including Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, etc. platforms) for interfacing with external peripherals. c-periphery is re-entrant, has no dependencies outside the standard C library and Linux, compiles into a static library for easy integration with other projects, and is MIT licensed.

## Building c-periphery with CMake

### Static library

Build c-periphery into a static library:

``` console
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
```

### Shared Library

Build c-periphery into a shared library:

``` console
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ..
$ make
```

Install the shared library and headers:

``` console
$ sudo make install
```

### Tests

Build c-periphery tests from the build directory:

``` console
$ make tests
```

### Cross-compilation

Set the `CC` environment variable with the cross-compiler prior to build:

``` console
$ export CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
```

If additional cross-compiler tools are needed, use a `CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE` to fully specify the toolchain parameters:

``` console
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/arm-linux-gnueabihf.cmake ..
$ make
```

## Building c-periphery with vanilla Make

### Static library

Build c-periphery into a static library:

``` console
$ make
```

### Tests

Build c-periphery tests:

``` console
$ make tests
```

### Cross-compilation

Set the `CROSS_COMPILE` environment variable with the cross-compiler prefix when building:

``` console
$ CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make
```

## Building c-periphery into another project statically

Include the header files from `src/` and link in the `periphery.a` static library:

``` console
$ gcc -I/path/to/periphery/src myprog.c /path/to/periphery/periphery.a -o myprog
```

## Building c-periphery into another project dynamically

If the header files and shared library are installed on the system, simply link with `-lperiphery`:

``` console
$ gcc myprog.c -lperiphery -o myprog
```

Otherwise, additional include (`-I`) and library (`-L`) paths may be required.

## Documentation

`man` page style documentation for each interface wrapper is available in [docs](docs/) folder.

## Testing

The tests located in the [tests](tests/) folder may be run to test the correctness and functionality of c-periphery. Some tests require interactive probing (e.g. with an oscilloscope), the installation of a physical loopback, or the existence of a particular device on a bus. See the usage of each test for more details on the required test setup.

## License

c-periphery is MIT licensed. See the included [LICENSE](LICENSE) file.
