  Description     : Modular GPIO interface

wiringX is a modular approach to several GPIO interfaces. wiringX will export
all common GPIO functions also found libraries such as wiringPi and wiringHB,
but when using wiringX it will automatically determine what device your
program is running on and use the appropriate GPIO functions. So when using
wiringX, your program will just work in regard of GPIO functionality.

The wiringPi and wiringHB are almost a direct copy of their initial library.
However, wiringX currently does not yet support all features of the
Hummingboard and Raspberry Pi I/O. Therefore, wiringPi has been stripped so it
only supports those features also supported by wiringX.

Those features currently are:
* GPIO reading, writing, and interrupts.
* IC2 reading and writing.

The supported devices are:
* Raspberry Pi
* Hummingboard
* BananaPi
* Radxa Rock
* MIPS CI20 Creator
