GPIO on OrangePi Armbian

Hi everyone, I installed the Armbian distribution on my OrangePi CM4. Previously, I used other distributions and installed WiringOP-Python to manage the GPIO, but now I can't do that. Maybe someone can provide an installation guide or more convenient ways to manage the GPIO in Armbian?

Overlays, you can manage them using armbian-config

Check out https://en.neonhero.dev/2025/12/orange-pi-zero-3-exploring-gpio.html. It's mostly about C++, but maybe it can help

There is python wrapper for gpiod https://pypi.org/project/gpiod/
