The purpose of this page is to introduce two methods for interacting with GPIO from user space on Zynq-7000 and Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC: the SysFs interface and the Linux kernel drivers (gpio-keys, leds-gpio).

The GPIO subsystem is documented in the kernel documentation in Documentation/gpio/ .

Note: The SysFs driver has been tested and is working. It has been accepted into the mainline kernel and the old char mode GPIO driver that didn't work with arch/powerpc has been removed from the tree.
