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. .. Note:: For multicolor LEDs, writing to this file will update all LEDs within the group to a calculated percentage of what each color LED intensity is set to. The percentage is calculated for each grouped LED via the equation below:: led_brightness = brightness * multi_intensity/max_brightness For additional details please refer to Documentation/leds/leds-class-multicolor.rst. 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>/brightness_hw_changed Date: January 2017 KernelVersion: 4.11 Description: Last hardware set brightness level for this LED. Some LEDs may be changed autonomously by hardware/firmware. Only LEDs where this happens and the driver can detect this, will have this file. This file supports poll() to detect when the hardware changes the brightness. Reading this file will return the last brightness level set by the hardware, this may be different from the current brightness. Reading this file when no hw brightness change event has happened will return an ENODATA error. What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/color Date: June 2023 KernelVersion: 6.5 Description: Color of the LED. This is a read-only file. Reading this file returns the color of the LED as a string (e.g: "red", "green", "multicolor"). 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.
