LEDs appear in /sys/class/leds/. The maximum brightness of the +LED is defined in max_brightness file. The brightness file will set the brightness +of the LED (taking a value 0-max_brightness). Most LEDs don't have hardware +brightness support so will just be turned on for non-zero brightness settings. + +The class also introduces the optional concept of an LED trigger. A trigger +is a kernel based source of led events. Triggers can either be simple or +complex. A simple trigger isn't configurable and is designed to slot into +existing subsystems with minimal additional code. Examples are the ide-disk, +nand-disk and sharpsl-charge triggers. With led triggers disabled, the code +optimises away. + +Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific +parameters and work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example. +The timer trigger will periodically change the LED brightness between +LED_OFF and the current brightness setting. The "on" and "off" time can +be specified via /sys/class/leds/<device>/delay_{on,off} in milliseconds. +You can change the brightness value of a LED independently of the timer +trigger. However, if you set the brightness value to LED_OFF it will +also disable the timer trigger. + +You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler +is chosen (via /sys/class/leds/<device>/trigger). Trigger specific +parameters can appear in /sys/class/leds/<device> once a given trigger is +selected. + + +Design Philosophy +================= + +The underlying design philosophy is simplicity. LEDs are simple devices +and the aim is to keep a small amount of code giving as much functionality +as possible. Please keep this in mind when suggesting enhancements. + + +LED Device Naming +================= + +Is currently of the form: + +"devicename:colour:function" + +There have been calls for LED properties such as colour to be exported as +individual led class attributes. As a solution which doesn't incur as much +overhead, I suggest these become part of the device name. The naming scheme +above leaves scope for further attributes should they be needed. If sections +of the name don't apply, just leave that section blank. + + +Hardware accelerated blink of LEDs +================================== + +Some LEDs can be programmed to blink without any CPU interaction. To +support this feature, a LED driver can optionally implement the +blink_set() function (see <linux/leds.h>). To set an LED to blinking, +however, it is better to use the API function led_blink_set(), as it +will check and implement software fallback if necessary. + +To turn off blinking again, use the API function led_brightness_set() +as that will not just set the LED brightness but also stop any software +timers that may have been required for blinking. + +The blink_set() function should choose a user friendly blinking value +if it is called with *delay_on==0 && *delay_off==0 parameters. In this +case the driver should give back the chosen value through delay_on and +delay_off parameters to the leds subsystem. + +Setting the brightness to zero with brightness_set() callback function +should completely turn off the LED and cancel the previously programmed +hardware blinking function, if any. + + +Known Issues +============ + +The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions +would cause nightmare dependency issues. I see this as a minor issue +compared to the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings. The +rest of the LED subsystem can be modular. + + +Future Development +================== + +At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED. +There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a +particular LED (ACPI?). The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver +should cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the +current interface. diff --git a/kernel/Documentation/leds/leds-lm3556.txt b/kernel/Documentation/leds/leds-lm3556.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000..62278e871 --- /dev/null +++ b/kernel/Documentation/leds/leds-lm3556.txt @@ -0,0 +1,85 @@ +Kernel driver for lm3556 +======================== + +*Texas Instrument: + 1.5 A Synchronous Boost LED Flash Driver w/ High-Side Current Source +* Datasheet: http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM3556.pdf + +Authors: + Daniel Jeong + Contact:Daniel Jeong(daniel.jeong-at-ti.com, gshark.jeong-at-gmail.com) + +Description +----------- +There are 3 functions in LM3556, Flash, Torch and Indicator. + +FLASH MODE +In Flash Mode, the LED current source(LED) provides 16 target current levels +from 93.75 mA to 1500 mA.The Flash currents are adjusted via the CURRENT +CONTROL REGISTER(0x09).Flash mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A), +or by pulling the STROBE pin HIGH. +LM3556 Flash can be controlled through sys/class/leds/flash/brightness file +* if STROBE pin is enabled, below example control brightness only, and +ON / OFF will be controlled by STROBE pin. + +Flash Example: +OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness +93.75 mA: #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness +... ..... +1500 mA: #echo 16 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness + +TORCH MODE +In Torch Mode, the current source(LED) is programmed via the CURRENT CONTROL +REGISTER(0x09).Torch Mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A) or by the +hardware TORCH input. +LM3556 torch can be controlled through sys/class/leds/torch/brightness file. +* if TORCH pin is enabled, below example control brightness only, +and ON / OFF will be controlled by TORCH pin. + +Torch Example: +OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness +46.88 mA: #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness +... ..... +375 mA : #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness + +INDICATOR MODE +Indicator pattern can be set through sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern file, +and 4 patterns are pre-defined in indicator_pattern array. +According to N-lank, Pulse time and N Period values, different pattern wiill +be generated.If you want new patterns for your own device, change +indicator_pattern array with your own values and INDIC_PATTERN_SIZE. +Please refer datasheet for more detail about N-Blank, Pulse time and N Period. + +Indicator pattern example: +pattern 0: #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern +.... +pattern 3: #echo 3 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern + +Indicator brightness can be controlled through +sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness file. + +Example: +OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness +5.86 mA : #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness +........ +46.875mA : #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness + +Notes +----- +Driver expects it is registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism. +To register the chip at address 0x63 on specific adapter, set the platform data +according to include/linux/platform_data/leds-lm3556.h, set the i2c board info + +Example: + static struct i2c_board_info board_i2c_ch4[] __initdata = { + { + I2C_BOARD_INFO(LM3556_NAME, 0x63), + .platform_data = &lm3556_pdata, + }, + };

The current support allows for setting two timers, one for +specifying how long a state to be on, and the second for how long the state +to be off. The delay_on value specifies the time period an LED should stay +in on state, followed by a delay_off value that specifies how long the LED +should stay in off state. The on and off cycle repeats until the trigger +gets deactivated. There is no provision for one time activation to implement +features that require an on or off state to be held just once and then stay in +the original state forever. + +Without one shot timer interface, user space can still use timer trigger to +set a timer to hold a state, however when user space application crashes or +goes away without deactivating the timer, the hardware will be left in that +state permanently. + +As a specific example of this use-case, let's look at vibrate feature on +phones. Vibrate function on phones is implemented using PWM pins on SoC or +PMIC. There is a need to activate one shot timer to control the vibrate +feature, to prevent user space crashes leaving the phone in vibrate mode +permanently causing the battery to drain. + +Transient trigger addresses the need for one shot timer activation. The +transient trigger can be enabled and disabled just like the other leds +triggers. + +When an led class device driver registers itself, it can specify all leds +triggers it supports and a default trigger. During registration, activation +routine for the default trigger gets called. During registration of an led +class device, the LED state does not change. + +When the driver unregisters, deactivation routine for the currently active +trigger will be called, and LED state is changed to LED_OFF. + +Driver suspend changes the LED state to LED_OFF and resume doesn't change +the state. Please note that there is no explicit interaction between the +suspend and resume actions and the currently enabled trigger. LED state +changes are suspended while the driver is in suspend state. Any timers +that are active at the time driver gets suspended, continue to run, without +being able to actually change the LED state. Once driver is resumed, triggers +start functioning again. + +LED state changes are controlled using brightness which is a common led +class device property. When brightness is set to 0 from user space via +echo 0 > brightness, it will result in deactivating the current trigger. + +Transient trigger uses standard register and unregister interfaces. During +trigger registration, for each led class device that specifies this trigger +as its default trigger, trigger activation routine will get called. During +registration, the LED state does not change, unless there is another trigger +active, in which case LED state changes to LED_OFF. + +During trigger unregistration, LED state gets changed to LED_OFF. + +Transient trigger activation routine doesn't change the LED state. It +creates its properties and does its initialization. Transient trigger +deactivation routine, will cancel any timer that is active before it cleans +up and removes the properties it created. It will restore the LED state to +non-transient state.

It has two values 0 or 1. 0 maps + to LED_OFF and 1 maps to LED_FULL.
