LED
From OMAPpedia
Welcome to the LED webpage.
[edit] Introduction
This webpage describes the LED software development effort, mainly its current status and features planned in the road map.
On OMAP4 Debug, Tri-color and Charging LEDs are supported. Debug and Tri-color are GPIO based LEDs, while charging LED is controlled by TWL6030 PWM (Pulse Width Modulator). Charging LED allows for controlling brightness, while other LEDs can just we switched ON/OFF.
[edit] List of Features Supported
- On OMAP4
- ON/OFF for Debug/Tri-color LED
- Brightness control for Charging LED
[edit] Design
- SYS FS Interface
- This is a generic Linux framework for device drivers and is available through /sys on the filesystem. It exports driver specific interfaces to user space.
- LED Class Framework
- This is a generic driver for controlling all LEDs. This exposes SYS FS interfaces for user space and also interfaces with GPIO or PWM driver for controlling the LED.
- GPIO LED Driver
- This is a generic GPIO LED driver for controlling GPIO LEDs. This driver extracts information from platform data for controlling LED. Platform data needs to specify which GPIO pin controls this particular LED, whether its active low etc
- PWM Led Driver
- This is a generic PWM based driver for LED control. APIs are defined for accessing PWM (Pulse Width Modulator). These APIs are implemented by twl6030-pwm, since accessing PWM is platform dependent

[edit] Information on Testing Procedures
- GPIO LED (omap4:green:debug* and omap4:*: user)
- cd /sys/class/leds/omap4:green:debug0
- echo 1 > brightness
- check LED is ON
- echo 0 > brightness
- check LED is OFF
- cd /sys/class/leds/omap4:red:user
- echo 1 > brightness
- check RED LED is ON
- echo 0 > brightness
- check RED LED is OFF
- PWM Charging LED
- This is available on ES2.0 and later processor boards
- cd /sys/class/leds/omap4:green:chrg
- echo 10 > brightness
- echo 100 > brightness
- echo 255 > brightness
- echo 0 > brightness
- Brightness should increase with value and should go off with 0 value
