+
On recent kernel, linux have a led driver. This led can be driven from /sys/class/leds/ directory.
+
 
+
For APF28Dev, the led is configurable under the directory :
+
 
+
<pre class="apf">
+
# cd /sys/class/leds/apfdev:green:user
+
</pre>
+
 
+
=== Blinking ===
+
 
+
The blinking style can be selected with ''trigger'' file. By defaut on APF28Dev, Heartbeat is selected :
+
 
+
<pre class="apf">
+
# cat /sys/class/leds/apfdev:green:user/trigger
+
none nand-disk mmc0 timer [heartbeat] backlight gpio default-on
+
</pre>
+
 
+
Blinking style can be changed with ''echo'' command :
+
 
+
<pre class="apf">
+
# echo "nand-disk" > /sys/class/leds/apfdev:green:user/trigger
+
# cat /sys/class/leds/apfdev:green:user/trigger
+
none [nand-disk] mmc0 timer heartbeat backlight gpio default-on
+
</pre>
+
 
+
With this "nand-disk" option selected, the led will blink each time nand access occur (try with ''sync'' command to see it blinking).
+
 
+
=== Switch led with user button ===
+
 
+
It is possible to switch led state using the APF28Dev user button. This button is seen as gpio17 (as seen under APF28Dev [[datasheet]]) under Linux, then configure the led trigger as gpio :
+
 
+
<pre class="apf">
+
# echo "gpio" > /sys/class/leds/apfdev:green:user/trigger
+
</pre>
+
 
+
New config files are available :
+
<pre class="apf">
+
# ls /sys/class/leds/apfdev:green:user/
+
brightness          gpio                power              uevent
+
desired_brightness  inverted            subsystem
+
device              max_brightness      trigger
+
</pre>
+
 
+
Then the trigger gpio can be configured with ''gpio'' file :
+
 
+
<pre class="apf">
+
# echo 17 > gpio
+
</pre>
+
 
+
Then pushing the user switch will now commute the LED state.
