LED¶
Introduction¶
There are 2 LEDs on the AIO-3399C development board, as the following table shows:
Both LEDs can be controlled by using the LED device subsystem or by directly operating GPIO.
Controlling LEDs by device¶
Linux has its own LED subsystem for LED devices. In AIO-3399C, 2 LEDs are configured as LED class devices.
You can control them via /sys/class/leds/
.
The default status of the two on-board leds are:
Blue: Turn on after the system powers on.
Yellow: defined by user.
You can change the behavior of each LED by using the echo command to write command to its brightness property:
root@rk3399_firefly_box:~ # echo 0 >/sys/class/leds/firefly:blue:power/brightness //Blue led off
root@rk3399_firefly_box:~ # echo 1 >/sys/class/leds/firefly:blue:power/brightness //Blue led on
Using trigger control LED¶
Trigger contains a variety of ways to control the LED, here with two examples to illustrate.
Simple trigger LED
Complex trigger LED
For more information, please read the document leds-class.txt
.
First of all, we need to know how many LED definition, while the corresponding property of the LED is.
Define LED node in file kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-firefly-port.dtsi
leds {
compatible = "gpio-leds";
power_led: power {
label = "firefly:blue:power";
linux,default-trigger = "ir-power-click";
default-state = "on";
gpios = <&gpio2 27 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&led_power>;
};
user_led: user {
label = "firefly:yellow:user";
linux,default-trigger = "ir-user-click";
default-state = "off";
gpios = <&gpio0 13 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&led_user>;
};
};
Note: The value of compatible
must match the one in drivers/leds/leds-gpio.c
.
Simple trigger LED¶
It is a simple trigger mode to control LEDs, as follows on the default open yellow LED. And AIO-3399C’s yellow LED will be turned on after boot.
(1) Defined LED trigger In the kernel/drivers/leds/trigger/led-firefly-demo.c
add the following:
DEFINE_LED_TRIGGER(ledtrig_default_control);
(2) Register the trigger.
led_trigger_register_simple("ir-user-click", &ledtrig_default_control);
(3) Control the LED.
led_trigger_event(ledtrig_default_control, LED_FULL); #yellow led on
(4)Enable LED demo.
led-firefly-demo is disabled in default,if you need to open the demo drive can use the following patch:

Complex trigger LED¶
The following is the trigger mode control LED complex example, timer trigger
is to let the LED to achieve constant light off effect.
We need to configure the timer trigger on the kernel.
In the kernel
path using make menuconfig
, in accordance with the following method to chose timer trigger
driver.
Device Drivers
--->LED Support
--->LED Trigger support
--->LED Timer Trigger
Save the configuration and compile the kernel, the kernel.img
burn AIO-3399C board. We can use the serial input command, you can see the blue light non-stop interval flashing.
echo "timer" > sys/class/leds/firefly\:blue\:power/trigger
The user can also use the cat
command to get the available values for the trigger:
root@rk3399_firefly_box:/ # cat sys/class/leds/firefly\:blue\:power/trigger
