# DEPRECATION NOTICE
Pi4J Version 1.x is now DEPRECATED and thus this repository is archived. [Pi4J V2.0](https://github.com/Pi4J/pi4j-v2) is the version to use for newer JDKs and Raspberry Pis. Look here for more information: https://pi4j.com/about/new-in-v2/

## PROJECT OVERVIEW
Starting with the Pi4J 1.4 builds, the Pi4J project is prioritizing focus
on providing Java programs access, control and communication with the core
I/O capabilities of the Raspberry Pi platform. Earlier versions of Pi4J
were perhaps too ambitious in scope and that led to significant project
bloat to the point that the project was becoming unsustainable. The goal
moving forward is to limit scope to that of the raw I/O capabilities
of the Raspberry Pi platform and provide timely updates and releases for
bug fixes and new RaspberryPi model introductions. Reducing the scope of
the project should better serve the Java community for basic I/O access by
reducing complexity.
The following features have been removed from the Pi4J library:
* **IO Expanders** -- IO expansion is still supported but concrete
implementations should be provided outside the core Pi4J core project such
that they can be maintained and extended independently.
* **Other Platforms** -- Other platforms such as Odroid, BananaPi, NanoPi,
OrangePi, etc. have been removed and will no longer be supported. The
challenge with supporting these additional platforms is that Pi4J depends on
the underlying WiringPi project and WiringPi ports for these other platforms
is not well supported by the various SoC vendors or community. The various
WiringPi ports for these other platforms are also inconsistent causing
inconsistent features and functionality of Pi4J. Additionally, regression
testing of bug fixes and new features in Pi4J is compounded with each
additional supported platform.
* **Components & Devices** -- Pi4J originally provided higher level
interfaces for components and devices that provided an abstraction
layer between real world devices (things) and lower-level I/O interfaces.
While a noble goal, unfortunately this part of the project never received
the attention and time that it deserved and never gained much adoption
by the community. We are removing these to allow Pi4J to focus solely on
the raw I/O supported by the Raspberry Pi platform.
## KNOWN ISSUES
* The original WiringPi library has been **DEPRECATED**. \
_(See: http://wiringpi.com/wiringpi-deprecated/)_
> **NOTE:** To support RaspberryPi 4B and newer systems you must install the latest *unofficial* WiringPi version which is
maintained here: https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi. _(As of 2021-01-12, this is version 2.60.)_
Example installation commands on a RaspberryPi:
```
sudo apt-get remove wiringpi -y
sudo apt-get --yes install git-core gcc make
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi --branch master --single-branch wiringpi
cd ~/wiringpi
sudo ./build
```
* Please note that the Pi4J v1.x codebase is no longer being actively developed. Pi4J v1.x will only be maintained
and updated for major bug fixes. This codebase has been largely stable for several years and is compatible across
a wide variety of Raspberry Pi SoCs and you are welcome to continue using it. However, for new projects, it
is highly recommended to migrate to the Pi4J Version 2.x codebase. See https://v2.pi4j.com for more information.
* This project requires Java 11 (JDK) to build; however, it fails to compile using the following Oracle JDKs. The
project will successfully compile using OpenJDK, Liberica, Zulu and AdoptOpenJDK distributions.
- Oracle JDK 11.0.06
- Oracle JDK 11.0.07
- Oracle JDK 11.0.09
- Oracle JDK 11.0.10
- Oracle JDK 11.0.10 (_and possibly newer_)
\
Example installation command on a RaspberryPi:
```
sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk
```
