Hi I’m working on a project containing bpi-m64 as main controller and some other devices that are connected to M64 with Uart and SPI. As an amateur I need to find a start point to learn how to develop a program that controls GPIO, UART, SPI, and any other achievable interface on my board. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any good tutorial for this and in the forum i just find the posts that show a GPIO is swithching on and off and there is no information about how it works and how should start a project like this.
what I need to know is:
-
are there different ways and different languages for accessing GPIO, UART, SPI and other interfaces of these boards? if there are, what are they?
-
should I use any classes that are presented for this boards or should I go through the datasheet of the processor and find something? If there are any classes, where are they?
-
Is it possible to develop this kind of programming on Android or it’s just possible to do it on linux? if it’s possible how could I do that?
-
If I want to do it on Linux, which distribution of Linux should I use?
-
Is there a way to develop a program that controls GPIO that is common in any OS(Android, Linux, Win10 IoT)? is Python what I’m searching for?
