     33<h1 id="GateworksUtilityLibrary">Gateworks Utility Library</h1>
     34<p>
     35<span class="wikianchor" id="overview"></span>
     36</p>
     37<h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2>
     38<p>
     39In order to provide users with easy access to the ventana family's low level linux functionality, Gateworks has composed a java library that exposes some simple methods for interacting with LEDs, GPIOs, PWMs, and hardware monitors that have been exported and registered in the android property system.
     40</p>
     41<p>
     42The source for the library is available on Github at <a class="ext-link" href="https://github.com/Gateworks/android_packages_apps_gateworksutil"><span class="icon">​</span>Gateworks/android_packatges_apps_gateworksutil</a> and the javadoc created api documentation can be found <a class="ext-link" href="http://dev.gateworks.com/docs/android/GateworksUtil/"><span class="icon">​</span>here</a>.
     43</p>
     44<p>
     45<span class="wikianchor" id="requirements"></span>
     46</p>
     47<h2 id="Requirements">Requirements</h2>
     48<p>
     49In order for the library to function as intended, all low level controllers must be both <strong>exported</strong> and <strong>registered</strong> prior to runtime.
     50</p>
     51<p>
     52Note that this is done by the Gateworks Android init script  <a class="ext-link" href="https://github.com/Gateworks/android_device_gateworks/blob/imx_kk4.4.3_2.0.0-beta/ventana/init.sh"><span class="icon">​</span>/device/gateworks/ventana/init.sh</a> which is installed to /system/bin/init.sh and run as root on bootup for the standard resources on the various Ventana boards.
     53</p>
     54<p>
     55<span class="wikianchor" id="exporting"></span>
     56</p>
     57<h3 id="Exporting">Exporting</h3>
     58<p>
     59Since the GateworksUtil library depends on access to the controller's associated sysfs structure, all GPIOs, PWMs, and LEDs must first be exported to userspace before they can be used. For further information on exporting see the following pages:
     60</p>
     61<ul><li><a class="wiki" href="/wiki/gpio#gpiolib_sysfs">GPIO</a>
     62</li><li><a class="wiki" href="/wiki/linux/pwm">PWM</a>
     63</li><li><a class="wiki" href="/wiki/gpio#led">LED</a>
     64</li></ul><p>
     65<span class="wikianchor" id="registering"></span>
     66</p>
     67<h3 id="Registering">Registering</h3>
     68<p>
     69In addition, the low level controllers being used must also be registered in the Android System Property list. This can be done a number of ways:
     70</p>
     71<ol><li>The command line tool setprop via <tt>setprop my.property value</tt>
     72</li><li>Modifying the <a class="ext-link" href="https://github.com/Gateworks/android_device_gateworks/blob/imx_kk4.4.3_2.0.0-beta/ventana/init.sh"><span class="icon">​</span>/device/gateworks/ventana/init.sh</a> script of the device to register a new controller
     73</li><li>With native C function <tt>property_get</tt> from system/core/include/cutils/properties.h
     74</li><li>With the java class <tt>android.os.SystemProperties</tt> (see <a class="ext-link" href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/os/SystemProperties.java"><span class="icon">​</span>Android Google Source</a>)
     75</li></ol><p>
     76*Note: the android.os.SystemProperties class is only accessible to the internal android source SDK.
     77</p>
     78<p>
     79For further information on registering see the <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/Android/OSDevelopment#AndroidProperties">Android Properties</a> section of the <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/Android/OSDevelopment">Android OS Development</a> page.

     83While the full source for the library is available on Github at <a class="ext-link" href="https://github.com/Gateworks/android_packages_apps_gateworksutil"><span class="icon">​</span>Gateworks/android_packatges_apps_gateworksutil</a> and the javadoc created api documentation can be found <a class="ext-link" href="http://dev.gateworks.com/docs/android/GateworksUtil/"><span class="icon">​</span>here</a> sometimes a few simple examples can be extremely helpful.

     86Code snippets and notes:
     87</p>
     88<ul><li>be sure add the <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/Android/GateworksUtil">GateworksUtil</a>.jar library to your project (copy it to the <tt>libs</tt> directory and tell Android Studio to add it as a library)
     89</li><li>be sure to import it's classes so that your code has access to them:
