What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/pattern
Date: September 2018
KernelVersion: 4.20
Description:
Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
the brightness for the specified duration with one software
timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
duration (ms).
The exact format is described in:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/leds-trigger-pattern.txt
What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/hr_pattern
Date: April 2024
Description:
Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
the brightness for the specified duration with one software
timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
Unlike the /sys/class/leds/<led>/pattern, this attribute runs
a pattern on high-resolution timer (hrtimer).
What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/hw_pattern
Date: September 2018
KernelVersion: 4.20
Description:
Specify a hardware pattern for the LED, for LED hardware that
supports autonomously controlling brightness over time, according
to some preprogrammed hardware patterns. It deactivates any active
software pattern.
Since different LED hardware can have different semantics of
hardware patterns, each driver is expected to provide its own
description for the hardware patterns in their documentation
file at Documentation/leds/.
What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/repeat
Date: September 2018
KernelVersion: 4.20
Description:
Specify a pattern repeat number. -1 means repeat indefinitely,
other negative numbers and number 0 are invalid.
This file will always return the originally written repeat
number.
It should be noticed that some leds, like EL15203000 may
only support indefinitely patterns, so they always store -1.
