+## GPIO character device
+
+Since Linux kernel v4.4 the use of sysfs GPIO was deprecated and replaced by the character device GPIO.
+See [gpio-cdev documentation](https://github.com/rust-embedded/gpio-cdev#sysfs-gpio-vs-gpio-character-device) for details.
+
+This crate includes feature flag `gpio_cdev` that replaces [sysfs_gpio](https://crates.io/crates/sysfs_gpio) by [gpio-cdev](https://crates.io/crates/gpio-cdev).
+To enable it update your Cargo.toml.
