Non root mode? - Githubissues

rene0 / dcf77pi

Yet another DCF77 decoder. This one is intended for the Raspberry Pi platform but might work on other devices using GPIO pins too.

Currently dcf77pi requires root to read from the GPIO pin, can this be done differently? For example:

change owner/group/permission of the device node
a small daemon which runs as root so that the rest of the client can run as a normal user
capsicum?

Solution 1 seems to be the most straight-forward one, and works fine on FreeBSD. Needs to be modified for and tested on Linux.
