I get the following when trying to install wiring pi on a fresh bullseye image. Anyone have any way to get it installed?

 $ sudo apt-get install wiringpi

Wiringpi is deprecated.

You may be able to install the last release from the author's website which may or may not work on Bullseye.

There are a few alternative libraries.

See Controlling Raspberry Pi GPIO with c and Python

Command line tools

GPIOreadall is a python replacement for the wiringpi gpio readall utility.

raspi-gpio designed to help hack / debug GPIO (included in Raspberry Pi OS) which is used by GPIOreadall also allows command line access. I am unaware of any documentation but raspi-gpio help describes usage.

The new gpiochip libgpiod interface has a couple of command line tools. NOTE the Bullseye implementation has a few bugs.

Frankly if you REALLY want to use command line install pigpio (which should be installed in Raspberry Pi OS) and use pigs.

I was successful with "Rasberry PI OS Bullseye" using this fork:

https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi/releases/download/2.61-1/wiringpi-2.61-1-armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i wiringpi-2.61-1-armhf.deb

Test


sudo gpio -g mode 19 out
sudo gpio -g write 19 1

If you have 64 bit you probably need to wget "wiringpi-2.61-1-arm64.deb" instead. Also, see https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi/releases where you can find all release versions.
