Hey Peter,

to access the GPIOs from EPICS you need to write a device support module using the C-libraries.

Unfortunately there is no good documentation on this topic for beginners that I know of...
I could provide you my device support for reading out DS18S20 Dallas-1-Wire Temperature sensors using the Pi as a starting point.

Best regards,
Florian

Hello all...

We are exploring the idea of using Raspberry Pi for basic digital IO tasks.  The idea is that we could avoid deploying other IOCs and possibly wasting many other IOC ports.
  I have EPICS running on a Raspberry Pi with a test record DB (soft records only) and it is successfully communicating across the network.  I know how to directly access the GPIO pins while on the Pi (through C libraries etc.), but I do not know the first thing about how to get to those pins through EPICS.

Any advice or direction would be much appreciated. 
I am relatively new to EPICS development but am experienced with with maintenance of EPICS records and the like.

Regards
Peter
