i need help to identify the relay gpio

melop

hey there everyone , totaly new here.

i received not long ago a rockhip chines dev board , it came with android installed on it, and some devices attached to it , leds,sensors,thermal sensor, camera ,relay and more.   most of them are connected via gpio  , some usb on the board



this is a IOT-3288X



since most the devices are connected via gpios is that  the weird part for example are the gpio names,  for example there is a led connected to multiple place on the board 1 led 3 colors , they are all under gpio_sw in /sys/class/gpio_sw/ .  so instead of having a normal such as LEDWHITE it has totaly different names for example to turn on the white led  i have to

"echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/rk3288-extern-gpio/gpio_sw/WIFI_PW/data"

which make no sense, but i guess everything is messed up



so right now i am trying to understand which gpio is turning on a relay gate ,

i did checked the hardware pins on a chines manual  and it seems that the relay is connected to pin 19 and 20 , however  when i exported the pins to the /sys/class/gpio/export  and then tried to changed the value of it, it did not work.  i am at a stage that i am sitting on it for over 16h straight trying to figuring this out without any success

note that i even exported all 264 pins , and tried to change all of them to direction out , however the device crashed and restart , i tried to minimized it to 100 (batch of 100) than minimzed to 10, it carshed all the way, i tried also to change all the values to 1 (without the direction out, so gpio that are on out should've work) it did no changes , i tried to set the value to 0 (on all pins) nothing happen aswell.



when exporting the all the pins , some did not work (all the gpios pins in sys/kernel/debug/gpio could not be exported inside the gpio folder im not sure why , pehaps they are being used or already open/mounted? so how do i use them)



there is an app on the android , which allow me to change the relay more (normaly open, normaly close) (perhaps that can help idk)



any of u have an idea how can i determine what the app is controlling ?

of figuring out what gpio is that  so i can turn on and off the relay on my command/demand  ?

(P.S, there is also a thermal sensor , that speaks via i2c, which again idk on what gpio is that so i can perhaps start to communicate with it)



any how thanks for the help , and please ask me anything ! , so i can try to help myself here.

i know maybe it seems abit non organized  but i am after 20h of being awake



maybe phrase it differently would be



i want to figure out which path in /sys/... corresponds to which GPIO pin that is connected.



please guide me .



Thanks
