2 ========================================
4 This README describes the status LED API.
6 The API is defined by the include file include/status_led.h
8 The first step is to enable CONFIG_LED_STATUS in menuconfig:
9 > Device Drivers > LED Support.
11 If the LED support is only for specific board, enable
12 CONFIG_LED_STATUS_BOARD_SPECIFIC in the menuconfig.
14 Status LEDS 0 to 5 are enabled by the following configurations at menuconfig:
15 CONFIG_STATUS_LED0, CONFIG_STATUS_LED1, ... CONFIG_STATUS_LED5
17 The following should be configured for each of the enabled LEDs:
18 CONFIG_STATUS_LED_BIT<n>
19 CONFIG_STATUS_LED_STATE<n>
20 CONFIG_STATUS_LED_FREQ<n>
21 Where <n> is an integer 1 through 5 (empty for 0).
23 CONFIG_STATUS_LED_BIT is passed into the __led_* functions to identify which LED
24 is being acted on. As such, the value choose must be unique with with respect to
25 the other CONFIG_STATUS_LED_BIT's. Mapping the value to a physical LED is the
26 reponsiblity of the __led_* function.
28 CONFIG_STATUS_LED_STATE is the initial state of the LED. It should be set to one
29 of these values: CONFIG_LED_STATUS_OFF or CONFIG_LED_STATUS_ON.
31 CONFIG_STATUS_LED_FREQ determines the LED blink frequency.
32 Values range from 2 to 10.
37 CONFIG_STATUS_LED_BOOT is the LED to light when the board is booting.
38 This must be a valid LED number (0-5).
40 CONFIG_STATUS_LED_RED is the red LED. It is used to signal errors. This must be
41 a valid LED number (0-5). Other similar color LED's macros are
42 CONFIG_STATUS_LED_GREEN, CONFIG_STATUS_LED_YELLOW and CONFIG_STATUS_LED_BLUE.
46 The following functions should be defined:
48 __led_init is called once to initialize the LED to CONFIG_STATUS_LED_STATE.
49 One time start up code should be placed here.
51 __led_set is called to change the state of the LED.
53 __led_toggle is called to toggle the current state of the LED.
56 ========================================
58 Colour LED's are at present only used by ARM.
60 The functions names explain their purpose.
72 These are weakly defined in arch/arm/lib/board.c to noops. Where applicable, define
73 these functions in the board specific source.
75 TBD : Describe older board dependent macros similar to what is done for
77 TBD : Describe general support via asm/status_led.h
