1. GPIO Settings in Odroid:

Step 1 : Download wiringPi

odroid@odroid64:~$ cd ~/kmani
odroid@odroid64:~/kmani$ git clone https://github.com/hardkernel/WiringPi
odroid@odroid64:~/kmani$ ls
wiringPi.zip

Step 2: Install wiringPi

odroid@odroid64:~/kmani$ mkdir toolchain

odroid@odroid64:~/kmani$ unzip wiringPi -d /home/odroid/kmani/toolchain/
odroid@odroid64:~/kmani$ cd toolchain/
odroid@odroid64:~/kmani/toolchain$ ls
wiringPi

odroid@odroid64:~/kmani/toolchain$ cd wiringPi/
odroid@odroid64:~/kmani/toolchain/wiringPi$ ./build

Step 3: GPIO settings

Set mode( Input/Output) for GPIO pin and write/read the value in GPIO pin
[Refer the GPIO pin number from diagram]

2
Using Command
Set the output mode for gpio pin(Example Pin number:249)
odroid@odroid64:~$ gpio -g mode 249 output

Then read the value in pin number 249

odroid@odroid64:~$ gpio -g read 249
1

In pin No. 249 (Export GPIO) value is High(1) and now write the value (low) in pin No. 249 (Export
GPIO)

odroid@odroid64:~$ gpio -g write 249 0

odroid@odroid64:~$ gpio -g read 249
0
odroid@odroid64:$
Now the value in pin 249 changes from high to low.

Step 2: Enable START bit of 0x18 device’s Configuration Register 0x00 set to 0xd5

odroid@odroid64:~$ i2cset -y 2 0x18 0x00 0xd5

Step 3: Read Local Temp Data 0x18 device’s from Register 0x0A(Local MSB)

odroid@odroid64:~$ i2cget -y 2 0x18 0x0A

0x21
->Temp=33 [Note: Discarding Lbyte Data (1° C Resolution) ] Refer AMC6821 Data Sheet

Step 4: Read Remote Temp Data 0x18 device’s from Register 0x0B(Remote MSB)

odroid@odroid64:~$ i2cget -y 2 0x18 0x0B

0x21
->Temp=33 [Note: Discarding Lbyte Data (1° C Resolution) ]

Step 5: Read Local & Remote Temp Data 0x18 device

[Note: Should Read in the Following Order Only to get 0.125°C Resolution ]
odroid@odroid64:~$ i2cget -y 2 0x18 0x06
0x21
-> [00100001= 001 for LocalTemp and 001 for RemoteTemp] (Local and Remote LSB)
odroid@odroid64:~$ i2cget -y 2 0x18 0x0A
0x21
->Temp=33.125 (Local MSB)
odroid@odroid64:~$ i2cget -y 2 0x18 0x0B
0x21
-> Temp=33.125 (Remote MSB)

[Note: To measure 0x4d device’s temperature repeat step 2- 5 with Device Address 0x4d instead
of 0x18] and also Refer AMC6821 Data Sheet
