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. + duration (ms). - 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: - - LED brightness - ^ - 255-| / \ / \ / - | / \ / \ / - | / \ / \ / - | / \ / \ / - 0-| / \/ \/ - +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s) - - 2. To make the LED go instantly from one brightness value to another, - we should 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: - - LED brightness - ^ - 255-| +---------+ +---------+ - | | | | | - | | | | | - | | | | | - 0-| -----+ +----+ +---- - +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s) + The exact format is described in: + Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/leds-trigger-pattern.txt What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/hw_pattern Date: September 2018 |
