What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/brightness
Date: March 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.17
Contact: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
Description:
Set the brightness of the LED. Most LEDs don't
have hardware brightness support, so will just be turned on for
non-zero brightness settings. 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>/trigger
Date: March 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.17
Contact: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
Description:
Set the trigger for this LED. A trigger is a kernel based source
of LED events.
You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO
scheduler is chosen. Trigger specific parameters can appear in
/sys/class/leds/<led> once a given trigger is selected. For
their documentation see sysfs-class-led-trigger-*.
What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/inverted
Date: January 2011
KernelVersion: 2.6.38
Contact: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
Description:
Invert the LED on/off state. This parameter is specific to
gpio and backlight triggers. In case of the backlight trigger,
it is useful when driving a LED which is intended to indicate
a device in a standby like state.
