1.

Download the Linux GPIO controller driver for the IPC2210A from the Software and Upgrades section of the Maple Systems website.

2.

Create a subdirectory inside the /home/user/Documents directory labeled “Linux”.

3.

Right-click the compressed Linux GPIO for 2210A directory and click “extract to” the /home/user/Documents/Linux directory.

4.

Confirm the directory path is as follows: /home/user/Documents/Linux/EApi_innodisk_sample_1.1.7

5.

Use the following commands inside the terminal to install two required software packages:

• sudo apt-get install gcc-12-multilib
• sudo apt-get install build-essential

6.

Enter the following commands into the Linux terminal while in the /home/user/Documents/Linux/EApi_innodisk_sample_1.1.7 directory.

• make clean
• make

Confirm that the files are present in the EApi_innodisk_sample_1.1.7 directory as show in the following screenshot:

8.

Enter the following commands into the Linux terminal while in the /home/user/Documents/Linux/EApi_innodisk_sample_1.1.7 directory:

• sudo cp innoeapi.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers
• sudo depmod -a
• sudo modprobe innoeapi

9.

Once the GPIO controller driver installation is complete, the EApi api package is now ready to use. Enter the following command:

• sudo ./EApi_Test

NOTE: You will be required to be root or use the sudo command to execute the EApi_Test program.
