Title: how to control GPIO in Android application?
Hi,
I want to create android application that is able to control GPIO, LED, Serial port.
I've searched a lot but can't get enough good answer.

I know it uses JNI interface in android app, but do now know in driver side.

would you give me effective example?

thanks
Jay

Make sure your program has access permission to the files.

First refer to the uart driver wiki:
http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Firefly-RK3288/UART/en

If you are using uart3, you can access /dev/ttyS3.
Then google for "Linux serial programming", which will give you a bunch of
documents and examples. One is:

thanks.

one more question.
Do I have to make new uart driver for uart communications?
(if I'm using uart3 I can just access /dev/ttyS3 without making new uart driver..)

Same uart driver is already configured builtin for all the uart devices.
No need to make new one.

in the middle of page (http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Firefly-RK3288/UART/en),
what is meaning of "Turn on CONFIG_SERIAL_ROCKCHIP in kernel configuration"?

Compile and Flash KernelTurn on CONFIG_SERIAL_ROCKCHIP in kernel configuration, which will add corresponding drivers/tty/serial/rk_serial.c to kernel. Then compile the kernel as followed:
make firefly-rk3288.img

Add:
CONFIG_SERIAL_ROCKCHIP=y
in your kernel/.config file
