VIM1 LED
Introduction
This page introduces the usage of Onboard LED indicators under Linux, and leads you to control the LEDs.
Device LED configurations
| Device | Node name | LED color |
|---|---|---|
| VIM1/2 | /sys/class/leds/sys_led | White |
| VIM3/3L | /sys/class/leds/red_led | Red |
| /sys/class/leds/sys_led | ||
| VIM1S/VIM4 | /sys/class/leds/pwmled | |
| Edge1 | /sys/class/leds/red_led | |
| /sys/class/leds/sys_led | ||
| Edge2 | /sys/class/leds/red_led | Red |
| /sys/class/leds/green_led | Green | |
| /sys/class/leds/blue_led | Blue |
Setup LED
VIM1/2/3/3L
We will take sys_led (white) as an example.
Turn off
Set the LED node parameter to none to turn off the LED:
$ echo none | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/sys_led/trigger
Turn on
Set the LED node parameter to default-on to keep the LED permanently on:
$ echo default-on | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/sys_led/trigger
Set LED heartbeat
Set the LED node parameter to heartbeat, to make the LED flash with a heartbeat blink:
$ echo heartbeat | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/sys_led/trigger
You can also experiment with other parameters.
VIM1S/VIM4
We will take pwmled (white) as an example.
Turn off
Set the LED node parameter to none to turn off the LED:
$ echo none | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/pwmled/trigger
Turn on
Set the LED node parameter to default-on, to make the LED permanently on:
$ echo default-on | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/pwmled/trigger
Set LED heartbeat
Set the LED node parameter to heartbeat, to make the LED flash with a heartbeat blink:
$ echo heartbeat | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/pwmled/trigger
You can also experiment with other parameters.
Edge1
We will use sys_led as an example:
Turn off
Set the LED node parameter to none to turn off the LED:
$ echo none | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/sys_led/trigger
Turn on
Set the LED node parameter to default-on to keep the LED permanently on:
$ echo default-on | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/sys_led/trigger
Set LED heartbeat
Set the LED node parameter to heartbeat, to make the LED flash with a heartbeat blink:
$ echo heartbeat | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/sys_led/trigger
You can also experiment with other parameters.
Edge2
We will use red_led as an example:
Turn off
Set the LED node parameter to none to turn off the LED:
$ echo none | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/red_led/trigger
Turn on
Set the LED node parameter to default-on to keep the LED permanently on:
$ echo default-on | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/red_led/trigger
Set LED heartbeat
Set the LED node parameter to heartbeat, to make the LED flash with a heartbeat blink:
$ echo heartbeat | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/red_led/trigger
The others are similar.
You can also experiment with other parameters.
