GPIO Drive Strength

Tue Dec 27, 2016 6:00 pm

Is it possible to set the GPIO drive strength via an overlay?

I tried already brcm,drive-strength and brcm,drive_strength_mA but without success.

Sadly, no. Drive strength isn't settable from the Linux driver as it stands at the moment - the only option is to create a custom dt-blob.bin (not real Device Tree) for the firmware, which is a maintenance headache.

OK, rc.local script I think is easier, thanks.
