# NAME

`gpiosim` —
General Purpose Input/Output Simulator

# SYNOPSIS

`pseudo-device gpiosim`

# DESCRIPTION

The `gpiosim` pseudo-device simulates a 64-bit wide gpio(4) device. The state of the simulated device can be manipulated through the sysctl(8) interface. For this purpose, access the "hw.gpiosim<N>.value" sysctl(8) variable, where "<N>" denotes the number of the `gpiosim` instance.

Both edge and level interrupts are simulated. The "hw.gpiosim<N>.ms" sysctl(8) variable will change the amount of time between callout(9) ticks for simulated level interrupts.

# SEE ALSO

# AUTHORS

The `gpiosim` driver was written by Marc Balmer <marc@msys.ch> Simulated interrupts added by Brad Spencer <brad@anduin.eldar.org>.
