A Python library for controlling the GPIO pins on NVIDIA Jetson development boards (TX1, TX2, AGX Xavier, Nano, etc.) via their 40-pin header. It mirrors the RPi.GPIO API so Raspberry Pi applications can be ported to Jetson with minimal changes.
Use cases
- control GPIO pins on an NVIDIA Jetson board from Python
- read digital input from a button or sensor on Jetson
- blink an LED connected to a Jetson GPIO header
- port a Raspberry Pi GPIO application to Jetson
- use GPIO interrupts and event callbacks on Jetson
- set up udev permissions for GPIO access on Jetson
When to choose
- you are developing Python hardware projects on NVIDIA Jetson boards
- you want RPi.GPIO-compatible code to run on Jetson
- you need digital input/output, event waits, or interrupt callbacks on Jetson GPIO pins
When to avoid
- you are on a Raspberry Pi or other non-Jetson board (use RPi.GPIO or gpiod instead)
- you need analog, PWM-heavy, or high-level sensor drivers beyond basic digital GPIO
- you work in a non-Python language without bindings
