WiringPi mixes multiple concepts together incorrectly. It’s outdated and plain wrong from a design perspective. There’s GPIO and then there’s hardware pinmux functions like I2C/SPI/UART/etc. We have the wiring tool:

Libre Computer Wiring Tool

To install via apt: sudo apt update sudo apt install libretech-gpio libretech-dtoverlay libretech-gpio To get a list of headers for your board: lgpio headers To get a list of the header pins for a header: lgpio header HEADER For getting the information for a pin number on the main GPIO header of the board: lgpio info PIN# For getting the information for a pin number on a specific header of the board: lgpio info HEADER PIN# For getting the libgpiod chip and line number for a pin on th…

You can use libgpiod to control GPIOs. Bus interfaces will be exposed under /sys/ once you enable the proper overlay for a certain pinmux.
