gpioctl on beaglebone black

[patrick keshishian]

Hello,

I'm trying to play with the GPIO on bbb. I must be
misunderstanding how this is supposed to (expected)
to work.

I've been looking through the gpioctl (gpio) manuals,
but i'm still confused, and could use a pointer.

here is a demo:

# gpioctl gpio1 7
pin 7: state 1

# gpioctl gpio1 7 off
pin 7: state 1 -> 0

# gpioctl gpio1 7
pin 7: state 1

hmm...

# gpioctl gpio1 7 off
pin 7: state 0 -> 0

err... help?
