KNOWN ISSUES

  • The original WiringPi library has been DEPRECATED.
    (See: http://wiringpi.com/wiringpi-deprecated/)

    NOTE: To support RaspberryPi 4B and newer systems you must install the latest unofficial WiringPi version which is
    maintained here: https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi. (As of 2021-01-12, this is version 2.60.)

    Example installation commands on a RaspberryPi:

    sudo apt-get remove wiringpi -y
sudo apt-get --yes install git-core gcc make
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi --branch master --single-branch wiringpi
cd ~/wiringpi
sudo ./build

  • Please note that the Pi4J v1.x codebase is no longer being actively developed. Pi4J v1.x will only be maintained
    and updated for major bug fixes. This codebase has been largely stable for several years and is compatible across
    a wide variety of Raspberry Pi SoCs and you are welcome to continue using it. However, for new projects, it
    is highly recommended to migrate to the Pi4J Version 2.x codebase. See https://v2.pi4j.com for more information.

  • This project requires Java 11 (JDK) to build; however, it fails to compile using the following Oracle JDKs. The
    project will successfully compile using OpenJDK, Liberica, Zulu and AdoptOpenJDK distributions.

    • Oracle JDK 11.0.06
    • Oracle JDK 11.0.07
    • Oracle JDK 11.0.09
    • Oracle JDK 11.0.10
    • Oracle JDK 11.0.10 (and possibly newer)


    Example installation command on a RaspberryPi:

    sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk
