LP5523/55231, LP5562 and LP8501 have common features as below. + + Register access via the I2C + Device initialization/deinitialization + Create LED class devices for multiple output channels + Device

+hex byte string is written into the memory through the I2C. +LP55xx common driver supports the firmware interface. + +LP55xx chips have three program engines. +To load and run the pattern, the

provides simple interfaces as below. +select_engine : Select which engine is used for running program +run_engine : Start program which is loaded via the firmware interface +firmware : Load program data + +In case of LP5523, one more command is required, 'enginex_leds'. +It is used for selecting LED output(s) at each engine number. +In more details, please refer to 'leds-lp5523.txt'. + +For

'firmware_cb' ) +The sequence of running the program data is common. +But each device has own specific register addresses for commands. +To support this, 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' are configurable in each driver. +run_engine : Control the selected engine +firmware_cb : The callback function after loading the firmware is done. + Chip specific commands for loading and updating program memory. + +( Predefined pattern data ) + +Without the firmware interface, LP55xx driver provides another method for +loading a LED pattern. That is 'predefined' pattern. +A predefined pattern is defined in the platform data and load it(or them) +via the sysfs if needed. +To use the predefined pattern concept, 'patterns' and 'num_patterns' should be +configured. + + Example of predefined pattern data: + + /* mode_1: blinking data */ + static const u8 mode_1[] = { + 0x40, 0x00, 0x60, 0x00, 0x40, 0xFF, 0x60, 0x00, + }; + + /* mode_2: always on */ + static const u8 mode_2[] = { 0x40, 0xFF, }; + + struct lp55xx_predef_pattern board_led_patterns[] = { + { + .r = mode_1, + .size_r = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_1), + }, + { + .b = mode_2, + .size_b = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_2), + }, + } + + struct lp55xx_platform_data lp5562_pdata = { + ... + .patterns = board_led_patterns, + .num_patterns = ARRAY_SIZE(board_led_patterns), + }; + +Then, mode_1 and mode_2 can be run via through the sysfs. + + echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # red blinking LED pattern + echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # blue LED always on + +To stop running pattern, + echo 0 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern |
