[Haskell-beginners] GPIO/I2C/PWM and Haskell

[Michael Jones]

Michal,

I am doing similar things (not arial) on a MinnowBoardMax. Did not want to deal with ARM and Haskell. But if you make that work, I think it would be worth publishing how you did it. I struggled to build a cross compiler for ARM and gave up.

As for MinnowBoardMax, I am running Ubuntu with a 3.18.1 kernel and a solid state drive. A little heavy on the weight when you consider the batteries required to run a 5W system.

I have libraries for I2C, UART, and GPIO, but not published.

Here is an example of how I deal with ALERTB

module SMBusAlert (
  alert
) where

import System.IO

alert :: IO Bool
alert = do
  	writeFile "/sys/class/gpio/export" "340"
	writeFile "/sys/class/gpio/gpio340/direction" "in"
	s <- readFile "/sys/class/gpio/gpio340/value"
	s `seq` writeFile "/sys/class/gpio/unexport" "340"
	if s!!0 == '0' then return True else return False
