'ODROID-N2' on this page refers to the ODROID-N2 series (N2, N2+, N2L).

WiringPi and Python Wrapper

  • Legacy master branch has renamed to master-old branch. If you face a problem with new master branch, please try again with old one.

WiringPi

The original WiringPi is a PIN based GPIO access library written in C for the BCM2835 used in the Raspberry Pi. It’s released under the GNU LGPLv3 license and is usable from C, C++ and RTB (BASIC) as well as many other languages with suitable wrappers (See below) It’s designed to be familiar to people who have used the Arduino “wiring” system[1]. Hardkernel provides WiringPi library for ODROID boards forked from original WiringPi.

You can install our WiringPi using our Ubuntu PPA (except for M1). This comes with you to keep it the latest version using apt command. Or, clone our Github repository and build it yourself.

Ubuntu PPA

  • Please be aware that our package names odroid-wiringpi, not just wiringpi. Canonical provides the WiringPi package designed for RaspberryPi by default, but that version is not compatible with ours.
target
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hardkernel/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install odroid-wiringpi

If you want to development libraries, install the extra packages.

target
sudo apt install libwiringpi-dev

Github repository

target
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/hardkernel/wiringPi
cd wiringPi
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

ODROID-M1

target
sudo apt update
sudo apt install odroid-wiringpi

If you want to development libraries, install the extra packages.

target
sudo apt install libwiringpi-dev

Run gpio readall to check all of the expansion GPIO pins. This is the default settings of ODROID-N2.

WiringPi Python Wrapper

Hardkernel also provides WiringPi Python binder for Python programmer called WiringPi-Python. WiringPi-Python is Python-wrapped version of Hardkernel's WiringPi.

Ubuntu PPA

We made a simple wrapper Debian package to install/update automatically for Python wrapper.

target
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hardkernel/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install odroid-wiringpi-python

After installing this package, it installs odroid-wiringpi PyPI package using PIP.

This package has two dependency packages; python3, python3-pip. If you want to use Python 2, you can install like the below commands.

target
sudo apt install python python-pip
sudo odroid-wiringpi-python --install

Python PyPI

target
sudo apt install python python3 python-pip python3-pip
 
# Python 2
sudo python -m pip install odroid-wiringpi
# Python 3
sudo python3 -m pip install odroid-wiringpi

Github repository

target
sudo apt install git python-dev python-setuptools python3-dev python3-setuptools swig
git clone --recursive https://github.com/hardkernel/WiringPi2-Python
cd WiringPi2-Python
 
# Python 2
sudo python setup.py install
# Python 3
sudo python3 setup.py install

Examples

LED On/Off

You can turn on/off a connected LED using WiringPi.
This example uses physical pin #11 (#0 on WiringPi) and a ground pin.
