I’m trying to get my application to run on a new Yocto Mickledore Image I created. My application is failing to interface to the GPIO’s and upon some research I found it is because GPIO sysfs interface is deprecated and GPIO chardev interface is now used (see here)

I really don’t want to have to modify my application to make use of the new GPIO interface. Is there a way to configure my yocto image to make use of the old GPIO sysfs interface via /sys/class/gpio/export
