Description¶

LP5523 can drive up to 9 channels. Leds can be controlled directly viathe led class control interface.The name of each channel is configurable in the platform data - name and label.There are three options to make the channel name.

1. Define the ‘name’ in the platform data

To make specific channel name, then use ‘name’ platform data.

• /sys/class/leds/R1 (name: ‘R1’)
• /sys/class/leds/B1 (name: ‘B1’)

2. Use the ‘label’ with no ‘name’ field

For one device name with channel number, then use ‘label’.- /sys/class/leds/RGB:channelN (label: ‘RGB’, N: 0 ~ 8)

3. Default

If both fields are NULL, ‘lp5523’ is used by default.- /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channelN (N: 0 ~ 8)

LP5523 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.There are two ways to run LED patterns.

1. Legacy interface - enginex_mode, enginex_load and enginex_leds

Control interface for the engines:

x is 1 .. 3

enginex_mode:

disabled, load, run

enginex_load:

microcode load

enginex_leds:

led mux control

cd /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/deviceecho "load" > engine3_modeecho "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > engine3_loadecho "111111111" > engine3_ledsecho "run" > engine3_mode

To stop the engine:

echo "disabled" > engine3_mode

2. Firmware interface - LP55xx common interface

For the details, please refer to ‘firmware’ section in leds-lp55xx.txt

LP5523 has three master faders. If a channel is mapped to one ofthe master faders, its output is dimmed based on the value of the masterfader.

For example:

echo "123000123" > master_fader_leds

creates the following channel-fader mappings:

channel 0,6 to master_fader1channel 1,7 to master_fader2channel 2,8 to master_fader3

Then, to have 25% of the original output on channel 0,6:

echo 64 > master_fader1

To have 0% of the original output (i.e. no output) channel 1,7:

echo 0 > master_fader2

To have 100% of the original output (i.e. no dimming) on channel 2,8:

echo 255 > master_fader3

To clear all master fader controls:

echo "000000000" > master_fader_leds

Selftest uses always the current from the platform data.

Each channel contains led current settings.- /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/led_current - RW- /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/max_current - RO

Format: 10x mA i.e 10 means 1.0 mA

Example platform data:

static struct lp55xx_led_config lp5523_led_config[] = {        {                .name           = "D1",                .chan_nr        = 0,                .led_current    = 50,                .max_current    = 130,        },...        {                .chan_nr        = 8,                .led_current    = 50,                .max_current    = 130,        }};static int lp5523_setup(void){        /* Setup HW resources */}static void lp5523_release(void){        /* Release HW resources */}static void lp5523_enable(bool state){        /* Control chip enable signal */}static struct lp55xx_platform_data lp5523_platform_data = {        .led_config     = lp5523_led_config,        .num_channels   = ARRAY_SIZE(lp5523_led_config),        .clock_mode     = LP55XX_CLOCK_EXT,        .setup_resources   = lp5523_setup,        .release_resources = lp5523_release,        .enable            = lp5523_enable,};

Note

chan_nr can have values between 0 and 8.
