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 define CONFIG_STATUS_LED in the board config file.
10 If the LED support is only for a single board, define CONFIG_BOARD_SPECIFIC_LED
11 in the board config file.
13 At a minimum, these macros must be defined at
18 If there are multiple status LED's define
23 Where <n> can a integer 1 through 3.
25 STATUS_LED_BIT is passed into the __led_* functions to identify which LED is
26 being acted on. As such, the value choose must be unique with with respect to
27 the other STATUS_LED_BIT's. Mapping the value to a physical LED is the
28 reponsiblity of the __led_* function.
30 STATUS_LED_STATE is the initial state of the LED. It should be set to one of
31 these values: STATUS_LED_OFF or STATUS_LED_ON.
33 STATUS_LED_PERIOD is how long is the LED blink period. This usually set to
34 (CONFIG_SYS_HZ / <N>) where <N> is the frequency of the blink. Typical values
39 STATUS_LED_BOOT is the LED to light when the board is booting. This must be a
40 valid STATUS_LED_BIT value.
42 STATUS_LED_RED is the red LED. It is used signal errors. This must be a valid
43 STATUS_LED_BIT value. Other similar color LED's are STATUS_LED_YELLOW and
46 These board must define these functions
48 __led_init is called once to initialize the LED to STATUS_LED_STATE. One time
49 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
78 TBD : Describe general support via asm/status_led.h
