Note:: + + For multicolor LEDs, writing to this file will update all + LEDs within the group to a calculated percentage of what + each color LED intensity is set to. + + The percentage is calculated for each grouped LED via + the equation below:: + + led_brightness = brightness * multi_intensity/max_brightness + + For additional details please refer to + Documentation/leds/leds-class-multicolor.rst. + + The value is between 0 and + /sys/class/leds/<led>/max_brightness. + + Writing 0 to this file clears active trigger. + + Writing non-zero to this file while trigger is active changes the + top brightness trigger is going to use. + + + +What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/max_brightness +Date: March 2006 +KernelVersion: 2.6.17 +Contact: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> +Description: + Maximum brightness level for this LED, default is 255 (LED_FULL). + + If the LED does not support different brightness levels, this + should be 1. + +What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/brightness_hw_changed +Date: January 2017 +KernelVersion: 4.11 +Description: + Last hardware set brightness level for this LED.
