@SGaist
thank you for the reply
Sorry its Emteria.os
i was told to
the gpios are accessable
Make sure those files are accessible from your application. Check Linux file permissions. and how do i check for these permissions?

and how do i check for these permissions?

ls -lh /sys/class/gpio/unexport

You should read about UNIX/Linux basics.
To get access for the group your user is in:

chmod g+rw /sys/class/gpio/unexport

For user

chmod u+rw /sys/class/gpio/unexport

Why do you want to do it in your app? Just do it once in a terminal...
The commands I provided to set access rights need root access (via sudo for example):

sudo chmod g+rw /sys/class/gpio/unexport

So, your app will not be able to do this.
But you should really check how access rights are handled in Emteria.os

unfortunately i can not do it on the terminal.
or can i do this in the cmd.txt found in boot folder?

@jsulm
unfortunately the ssh server is locked for demo which am using currently

@tinashe See "man 2 chmod".
But most probably your user will need to start the app as root (sudo for example).

@tinashe

i was told to do permission seeting in /data/init.d

[tinashe]

@jsulm
chmod g+rw /sys/class/gpio/unexport
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
touch local.rules
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="gpio", MODE="0666"
and did notwork

@tinashe This does not have anything to do with Qt now, please find out how to do this with Linux.

@jsulm
