10Description
11-----------
12
13LP5521 can drive up to 3 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
14the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
15lp5521:channelx, where x is 0 .. 2
16
17All three channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
18More details of the instructions can be found from the public data sheet.
19
20Control interface for the engines:
21x is 1 .. 3
22enginex_mode : disabled, load, run
23enginex_load : store program (visible only in engine load mode)
24
25Example (start to blink the channel 2 led):
26cd /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel2/device
27echo "load" > engine3_mode
28echo "037f4d0003ff6000" > engine3_load
29echo "run" > engine3_mode
30
31stop the engine:
32echo "disabled" > engine3_mode
33
34sysfs contains a selftest entry.
35The test communicates with the chip and checks that
36the clock mode is automatically set to the requested one.
37
38Each channel has its own led current settings.
39/sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/led_current - RW
40/sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/max_current - RO
41Format: 10x mA i.e 10 means 1.0 mA
42
43example platform data:
44
45Note: chan_nr can have values between 0 and 2.

47static struct lp5521_led_config lp5521_led_config[] = {
48 {
49 .chan_nr = 0,
50 .led_current = 50,

52 }, {
53 .chan_nr = 1,
54 .led_current = 0,
55 .max_current = 130,
56 }, {
57 .chan_nr = 2,
58 .led_current = 0,
59 .max_current = 130,
60 }
61};

64{
65 /* setup HW resources */
66}
67
68static void lp5521_release(void)

74{
75 /* Control of chip enable signal */

78static struct lp5521_platform_data lp5521_platform_data = {
79 .led_config = lp5521_led_config,
80 .num_channels = ARRAY_SIZE(lp5521_led_config),
81 .clock_mode = LP5521_CLOCK_EXT,
82 .setup_resources = lp5521_setup,
83 .release_resources = lp5521_release,
84 .enable = lp5521_enable,
85};
86
87If the current is set to 0 in the platform data, that channel is
88disabled and it is not visible in the sysfs.

10Description
11-----------
12LP5523 can drive up to 9 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
13the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
14lp5523:channelx where x is 0...8
15
16The chip provides 3 engines. Each engine can control channels without
17interaction from the main CPU. Details of the micro engine code can be found
18from the public data sheet. Leds can be muxed to different channels.
19
20Control interface for the engines:
21x is 1 .. 3
22enginex_mode : disabled, load, run
23enginex_load : microcode load (visible only in load mode)
24enginex_leds : led mux control (visible only in load mode)
25
26cd /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/device
27echo "load" > engine3_mode
28echo "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > engine3_load
29echo "111111111" > engine3_leds
30echo "run" > engine3_mode
31
32sysfs contains a selftest entry. It measures each channel
33voltage level and checks if it looks reasonable. If the level is too high,
34the led is missing; if the level is too low, there is a short circuit.
35
36Selftest uses always the current from the platform data.
37
38Each channel contains led current settings.
