# Mraa

## MRAA

> Low Level Skeleton Library for IO Communication on GNU/Linux platforms
>
> C/C++ library with bindings to JavaScript and Python to interface with the I/O on the Intel® Galileo board, Intel® Edison board, and other platforms. With board detection done at runtime, you can create portable code that works across multiple platforms.

* AIO Sensors requiring an ADC value to be read
* I2C Modules using the i2c bus
* SPI Modules using the SPI bus
* GPIO Modules using GPIOs directly
* PWM Modules using a PWM capable GPIO pin
* UART Modules using a serial connection (RX/TX)
* [MRAA Github](https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/mraa)

## Testing, Opkg

```bash
root@edison:~# opkg list-installed | grep mraa
mraa - 1.0.0-r0
mraa-dev - 1.0.0-r0
mraa-doc - 1.0.0-r0
```

## Upgrade, Opkg

```bash
root@edison:~# opkg install mraa                                                
Package mraa (1.0.0-r0) installed in root is up to date.                        
root@edison:~#
```
