Currently this is only sunxi-pio. At first I thought sunxi-nand-part
might be
included, but I think that is useful on NAND images as well as actual
devices.

This will allow for easier packaging, by letting packagers only include
the
target tools when building for a suitable ARM architecture.

Hello,

I just wonder about this 'sunxi-pio' tool in general. What is the
primary use case?

I've no idea. Maybe it just predates all of the below?

I use it (with -m, no idea what the other modes are for) for debugging under
both android (statically linked) and mainline Linux. It is useful because it
also shows drive-strength, pull-up and pinmux all things which the gpio sysfs
API cannot do.

I suggest keeping it around and renaming it sunxi-pio or sunxi-gpio

Regards,

Hans
