Desiring to access GPIO on Raspberry Pi5 Kali Linux

Kali Linux Forums Kali Linux Development

I am running:
─$ cat os-release
PRETTY_NAME=“Kali GNU/Linux Rolling”
NAME=“Kali GNU/Linux”
VERSION_ID=“2025.2”
VERSION=“2025.2”
VERSION_CODENAME=kali-rolling
ID=kali
ID_LIKE=debian
ANSI_COLOR=“1;31”
on my Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB)

I would like to be able to access the GPIO pins, either locally,
in which case I can roll my own remote bindings, or remotely
if there is a library supporting that.
The standard Raspberry-Pi raspi-config has an option to turn
on remote GPIO service, but this seems to be missing from
the Kali version of config.
Any pointer in the right direction would be appreciated, or even
a heads up that remote GPIO is not allowed in Kali Linux.

Thanks

A 5 second google search brought me to: Using GPIO from a Linux Shell - Using Input/Output Interfaces (GPIO, PWM, I2C, UART, SPI, etc.)

It mentions a number of utilities, such gpiod gpiodetect and gpioinfo, all of which are available in the standard apt repos.

So, what are you asking for exactly?
