Default GPIO PIN state after boot

[MarkHaysHarris777]

Actually , the default state of the gpio pins on the Raspberry PI are 'input' , which is 'correct' logic.

The pine board is not consistent in this regard. It may be possible to set the default state in dts|dtb , but I have not looked into it yet seriously;  although , I am not at all hopeful.

If you choose your pins carefully , and provide secondary buffering , you can work around the problem.

Good evening. You certainly are right, but I'm not looking for a solution to the problem only for me. I wish to attract the attention of the community to solve the problem for everyone.

(emphasis mine)  Yes, I understand that; and thank you.

This is one of those little details that needs to be taken into account for the next generation of pine board;  whatever that may be. 

In short,  as a requirement,  all gpio pins 'must' conform to logical 'inputs' throughout the power-up boot cycle.  

It should be noted that in some use cases the pine board is useless as a controller unless the previous requirement is met. 

Thanks again for your input, I agree whole heartedly.
