LP5521/LP5523/LP55231 Common Driver
Authors: Milo(Woogyom) Kim milo.kim@ti.com
Description
LP5521, LP5523/55231 and LP5562 have common features as below.
Register access via the I2C
Device initialization/deinitialization
Create LED class devices for multiple output channels
Device attributes for user-space interface
Program memory for running LED patterns
The LP55xx common driver provides these features using exported functions.
lp55xx_init_device() / lp55xx_deinit_device()
lp55xx_register_leds() / lp55xx_unregister_leds()
lp55xx_regsister_sysfs() / lp55xx_unregister_sysfs()
( Driver Structure Data )
In lp55xx common driver, two different data structure is used.
o lp55xx_led
control multi output LED channels such as led current, channel index.
o lp55xx_chip
general chip control such like the I2C and platform data.
For example, LP5521 has maximum 3 LED channels.
LP5523/55231 has 9 output channels.
lp55xx_chip for LP5521 … lp55xx_led #1
lp55xx_led #2

( Chip Dependent Code )
To support device specific configurations, special structure
‘lpxx_device_config’ is used.
Maximum number of channels
Reset command, chip enable command
Chip specific initialization
Brightness control register access
Setting LED output current
Program memory address access for running patterns
Additional device specific attributes
( Firmware Interface )
LP55xx family devices have the internal program memory for running
various LED patterns.
This pattern data is saved as a file in the user-land or
hex byte string is written into the memory through the I2C.
LP55xx common driver supports the firmware interface.
LP55xx chips have three program engines.
To load and run the pattern, the programming sequence is following.
(1) Select an engine number (1/2/3)
(2) Mode change to load
(3) Write pattern data into selected area
(4) Mode change to run
The LP55xx common driver provides simple interfaces as below.
select_engine : Select which engine is used for running program
run_engine : Start program which is loaded via the firmware interface
firmware : Load program data
For example, run blinking pattern in engine #1 of LP5521
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
echo “4000600040FF6000” > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
For example, run blinking pattern in engine #3 of LP55231
echo 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
echo “9d0740ff7e0040007e00a0010000” > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/data
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
To start blinking patterns in engine #2 and #3 simultaneously,
for idx in 2 3
do
echo $idx > /sys/class/leds/red/device/select_engine
sleep 0.1
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
echo “4000600040FF6000” > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
done
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/red/device/run_engine
Here is another example for LP5523.
echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
echo “9d80400004ff05ff437f0000” > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/data
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
As soon as ‘loading’ is set to 0, registered callback is called.
Inside the callback, the selected engine is loaded and memory is updated.
To run programmed pattern, ‘run_engine’ attribute should be enabled.
( ‘run_engine’ and ‘firmware_cb’ )
The sequence of running the program data is common.
But each device has own specific register addresses for commands.
To support this, ‘run_engine’ and ‘firmware_cb’ are configurable in each driver.
run_engine : Control the selected engine
firmware_cb : The callback function after loading the firmware is done.
Chip specific commands for loading and updating program memory.
( Predefined pattern data )
Without the firmware interface, LP55xx driver provides another method for
loading a LED pattern. That is ‘predefined’ pattern.
A predefined pattern is defined in the platform data and load it(or them)
via the sysfs if needed.
To use the predefined pattern concept, ‘patterns’ and ‘num_patterns’ should be
configured.
Example of predefined pattern data:
/* mode_1: blinking data */
static const u8 mode_1[] = {
0x40, 0x00, 0x60, 0x00, 0x40, 0xFF, 0x60, 0x00,
};
/* mode_2: always on */
static const u8 mode_2[] = { 0x40, 0xFF, };
struct lp55xx_predef_pattern board_led_patterns[] = {
{
.r = mode_1,
.size_r = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_1),
},
{
.b = mode_2,
.size_b = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_2),
},
}
struct lp55xx_platform_data lp5562_pdata = {
…
.patterns = board_led_patterns,
.num_patterns = ARRAY_SIZE(board_led_patterns),
};
Then, mode_1 and mode_2 can be run via through the sysfs.
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # red blinking LED pattern
echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # blue LED always on
To stop running pattern,
echo 0 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern
