Kernel driver for lp5521 ======================== * National Semiconductor LP5521 led driver chip * Datasheet: http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP5521.html Authors: Mathias Nyman, Yuri Zaporozhets, Samu Onkalo Contact: Samu Onkalo (samu.p.onkalo-at-nokia.com) Description ----------- LP5521 can drive up to 3 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via the led class control interface. Channels have generic names: lp5521:channelx, where x is 0 .. 2 All three channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs. More details of the instructions can be found from the public data sheet. Control interface for the engines: x is 1 .. 3 enginex_mode : disabled, load, run enginex_load : store program (visible only in engine load mode) Example (start to blink the channel 2 led): cd /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel2/device echo "load" > engine3_mode echo "037f4d0003ff6000" > engine3_load echo "run" > engine3_mode stop the engine: echo "disabled" > engine3_mode sysfs contains a selftest entry. The test communicates with the chip and checks that the clock mode is automatically set to the requested one. Each channel has its own led current settings. /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/led_current - RW /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/max_current - RO Format: 10x mA i.e 10 means 1.0 mA example platform data: Note: chan_nr can have values between 0 and 2. The name of each channel can be configurable. If the name field is not defined, the default name will be set to 'xxxx:channelN' (XXXX : pdata->label or i2c client name, N : channel number) static struct lp5521_led_config lp5521_led_config[] = { { .name = "red", .chan_nr = 0, .led_current = 50, .max_current = 130, }, { .name = "green", .chan_nr = 1, .led_current = 0, .max_current = 130, }, { .name = "blue", .chan_nr = 2, .led_current = 0, .max_current = 130, } }; static int lp5521_setup(void) { /* setup HW resources */ } static void lp5521_release(void) { /* Release HW resources */ } static void lp5521_enable(bool state) { /* Control of chip enable signal */ } static struct lp5521_platform_data lp5521_platform_data = { .led_config = lp5521_led_config, .num_channels = ARRAY_SIZE(lp5521_led_config), .clock_mode = LP5521_CLOCK_EXT, .setup_resources = lp5521_setup, .release_resources = lp5521_release, .enable = lp5521_enable, }; If the current is set to 0 in the platform data, that channel is disabled and it is not visible in the sysfs. The 'update_config' : CONFIG register (ADDR 08h) This value is platform-specific data. If update_config is not defined, the CONFIG register is set with 'LP5521_PWRSAVE_EN | LP5521_CP_MODE_AUTO | LP5521_R_TO_BATT'. (Enable auto-powersave, set charge pump to auto, red to battery) example of update_config : #define LP5521_CONFIGS (LP5521_PWM_HF | LP5521_PWRSAVE_EN | \ LP5521_CP_MODE_AUTO | LP5521_R_TO_BATT | \ LP5521_CLK_INT) static struct lp5521_platform_data lp5521_pdata = { .led_config = lp5521_led_config, .num_channels = ARRAY_SIZE(lp5521_led_config), .clock_mode = LP5521_CLOCK_INT, .update_config = LP5521_CONFIGS, }; LED patterns : LP5521 has autonomous operation without external control. Pattern data can be defined in the platform data. example of led pattern data : /* RGB(50,5,0) 500ms on, 500ms off, infinite loop */ static u8 pattern_red[] = { 0x40, 0x32, 0x60, 0x00, 0x40, 0x00, 0x60, 0x00, }; static u8 pattern_green[] = { 0x40, 0x05, 0x60, 0x00, 0x40, 0x00, 0x60, 0x00, }; static struct lp5521_led_pattern board_led_patterns[] = { { .r = pattern_red, .g = pattern_green, .size_r = ARRAY_SIZE(pattern_red), .size_g = ARRAY_SIZE(pattern_green), }, }; static struct lp5521_platform_data lp5521_platform_data = { .led_config = lp5521_led_config, .num_channels = ARRAY_SIZE(lp5521_led_config), .clock_mode = LP5521_CLOCK_EXT, .patterns = board_led_patterns, .num_patterns = ARRAY_SIZE(board_led_patterns), }; Then predefined led pattern(s) can be executed via the sysfs. To start the pattern #1, # echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern (xxxx : i2c bus & slave address) To end the pattern, # echo 0 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern
