lirc config not enought to configure as input GPIO

Darioia

Hi.
I use a RPI3 Rev B and rune 0.3 beta version.
I'd like to use BCM GPIO23 (J8 pin 16) to lirc (input) and I have configured in config.txt the following line:

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=23,gpio_out_pin=22,gpio_in_pull=up

The gpio is still configured as Out:

[root@runeaudio ~]# gpio readall
+-----+-----+---------+------+---+---Pi 3---+---+------+---------+-----+-----+
| BCM | wPi | Name | Mode | V | Physical | V | Mode | Name | wPi | BCM |
+-----+-----+---------+------+---+----++----+---+------+---------+-----+-----+
.....
| 22 | 3 | GPIO. 3 | OUT | 1 | 15 || 16 | 0 | OUT | GPIO. 4 | 4 | 23 |
.....
+-----+-----+---------+------+---+----++----+---+------+---------+-----+-----+
| BCM | wPi | Name | Mode | V | Physical | V | Mode | Name | wPi | BCM |
+-----+-----+---------+------+---+---Pi 3---+---+------+---------+-----+-----+

To solve the first problem using a python script:

#!/usr/bin/python2

import RPi.GPIO as gpio
gpio.setmode(gpio.BCM)
gpio.setup(23, gpio.IN, pull_up_down=gpio.PUD_UP)
gpio.cleanup()
exit()

and now mode2 command works.

Hi Dario,

i did some tests with my latest image for the Pi2/3 and all works like it should.

What i did:
- modified config.txt

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=23,gpio_out_pin=22,gpio_in_pull=up

- installed a TSOP receiver on Pin 23

: IR_Empfänger_TSOP4838_Steckplatine.jpg (47.77 KiB) Viewed 2742 times

- rebooted
- checked the port directions

root@runeaudio(rw):~# echo "23" > /sys/class/gpio/export
root@runeaudio(rw):~# echo "22" > /sys/class/gpio/export
root@runeaudio(rw):~# cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio22/direction
out
root@runeaudio(rw):~# cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio23/direction
in

- tested mode2 from lirc package

- used irrecord to generate a config file:

end remote

All works as expected!
I was not able to test this on the official version, but with latest image it works.
