The WiringPi lib for accessing GPIO

https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-p ... functions/


I need access the periperhal pin on pi board therefore I am using this wiringPi lib. However, I check it's using Broadcom chipset.

Code: Select all

// BCM Magic

#define	BCM_PASSWORD		0x5A000000


// The BCM2835 has 54 GPIO pins.
//	BCM2835 data sheet, Page 90 onwards.
//	There are 6 control registers, each control the functions of a block
//	of 10 pins.
//	Each control register has 10 sets of 3 bits per GPIO pin - the ALT values

Now my Pi has a Samsung chipset, so does the wiringPi still gonna work? In the code there's a board com magic key, I suppose Samsung would have one different.

Now, Why my pi use a Samsung chipset, I prefer to get Broadcom.. Do I need to return the pi and ask one with Broadcom chipset?

All Pi's have a Broadcom SOC. Yours happens to have Samsung memory.

Nope that's not true. Mine is clearly a Samsung ARM chipset.
Also, there's no memory chip onboard, everything runs off from the SD Card.

Oh my bad, the Samsung chip is stacked on top of the broadcom SOC.
Thanks
