So for now I'm basing my sbitx software for the Pi 5 in the pinctr software, which is the closest to WiringPi we can get (I tried libgpiod, but then we'll also need separate code for changing pin modes...):
I'm working on porting the code right now. My Pi 5 arrived! It is soooo much faster... loved it.

Btw, this code could be integrated to Farhan' s code at some point-? if there is interest - as it will support all Raspberry Pi versions. But I'll not do userland I2C bit-banging, as in my current code. Concerning WiringPi on Debian 12 -? my fork already supports it, just like in Debian 11 (but use my fork! Upstream is already broken in newer kernels).
I agree with all of the above.? I want sbitx to be using a gpio library that is being actively maintained.? I have mentioned libgpiod earlier because that's what the Pi team talked up during the Pi 5 announcement, but if pinctr is easier to integrate, go for it!? I want sbitx to be using i2c in kernel mode, it's more efficient and easier to maintain because someone else is doing the maintenance.? I want sbitx to be able to work on various new models as they arrive, being on actively supported software makes that easier to happen.? Personally I'm still using Debian 11 but will give 12 another try at some point in the near future.
