What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/pattern
|
|
Date: September 2018
|
|
KernelVersion: 4.20
|
|
Description:
|
|
Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
|
|
the brightness for the specified duration with one software
|
|
timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
|
|
|
|
The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
|
|
duration (ms). The LED is expected to traverse the series and
|
|
each brightness value for the specified duration. Duration of
|
|
0 means brightness should immediately change to new value, and
|
|
writing malformed pattern deactivates any active one.
|
|
|
|
1. For gradual dimming, the dimming interval now is set as 50
|
|
milliseconds. So the tuple with duration less than dimming
|
|
interval (50ms) is treated as a step change of brightness,
|
|
i.e. the subsequent brightness will be applied without adding
|
|
intervening dimming intervals.
|
|
|
|
The gradual dimming format of the software pattern values should be:
|
|
"brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_2 duration_2 brightness_3
|
|
duration_3 ...". For example:
|
|
|
|
echo 0 1000 255 2000 > pattern
|
|
|
|
It will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255)
|
|
intensity in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000
|
|
milliseconds:

|

|
|
2. To make the LED go instantly from one brigntess value to another,
|
|
we should use use zero-time lengths (the brightness must be same as
|
|
the previous tuple's). So the format should be:
|
|
"brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_1 0 brightness_2 duration_2
|
|
brightness_2 0 ...". For example:
|
|
|
|
echo 0 1000 0 0 255 2000 255 0 > pattern
|
|
|
|
It will make the LED stay off for one second, then stay at max brightness
|
|
for two seconds:

What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/hw_pattern
|
|
Date: September 2018
|
|
KernelVersion: 4.20
|
|
Description:
|
|
Specify a hardware pattern for the LED, for LED hardware that
|
|
supports autonomously controlling brightness over time, according
|
|
to some preprogrammed hardware patterns. It deactivates any active
|
|
software pattern.
|
|
|
|
Since different LED hardware can have different semantics of
|
|
hardware patterns, each driver is expected to provide its own
|
|
description for the hardware patterns in their ABI documentation
|
|
file.

What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/repeat
|
|
Date: September 2018
|
|
KernelVersion: 4.20
|
|
Description:
|
|
Specify a pattern repeat number. -1 means repeat indefinitely,
|
|
other negative numbers and number 0 are invalid.
|
|
|
|
This file will always return the originally written repeat
|
|
number.
