GPIOs do not work

Hello,

I have a Jetson Orin Nano 8BG Developer Kit. It is on Jetpack 6.1.

I followed the instructions for working with the GPIO Pins with python closely: GitHub - NVIDIA/jetson-gpio: A Python library that enables the use of Jetson’s GPIOs. Including the udev rules. When I run a sample python script to turn GPIO Pins on/off every 1 second as in samples/simple_out I am not able to measure anything with a multimeter at the corresponding pins.

When I run gpioinfo while the script is running I get line 144: "PAC.06" "Jetson-gpio" output active-high [used] for the corresponding pins. Also the active-high does not change. Shouldn’t it change to low after a second and then back to high again?

You will need to modify the overlay.

Here is some sample code to run the GPIO. No need to modify udev rules.

Thank you! I followed this: Configuring the Jetson Expansion Headers — Jetson Linux Developer Guide documentation (I saved the pin changes, not as an overlay).
