When I had to do this recently I used sysfs, I have no idea if it's the 
best way but it certainly was very effective. Remember in sysfs that 
each file should only have one value.

Once it's setup though you can just write to the sysfs files, I started 
by writing simple perl scripts to test things before starting to write 
more complex apps.
