PATCH 1/1 leds: ledtrig-morse: send out morse code

Send out a morse code by using LEDs.

This is useful especially on embedded systems without displays to tell the user about error conditions and status information.

The trigger will be called "morse"

The string to be send is written into the file morse_string and sent out with a workqueue. Supported are letters and digits.

With the file dot_unit the minimal time unit can be adjusted in milliseconds.

This is great stuff, nice work.

But you need to document your new sysfs files in Documentation/ABI/ somewhere, so that people know how to use this.

What's the added value of the trailing "S", which is present in each string, over the standard NUL terminator, which is also present?

Given no character uses more than 5 symbols, a more compact encoding (e.g. 3 bits for length, 5 bits for symbols) could be used. But it may not be worth doing that optimization. And you may want to add support for more characters later.

Can we get more general "pattern" trigger? Some LEDs can do that in hardware, and it is more general than plain morse.

Ouch and it already was implemented :-). Patch is in attachment.

Hi all,

Following your comments about [PATCH] leds: Add arbitrary pattern trigger, here is a revised version of this patch.

This is intended for embedded systems without screen or network access to show a status (or error) code to a human.

It's been tested on an ARM architecture (Xilinx Zynq 7010 SoC, which CPU is a dual ARM Cortex-A9), with a non-mainline kernel (xilinx-v2014.4, based of a 3.17.0 kernel). Unfortunately, I don't have other hardware to test it on. It compiles fine in a 3.19.0-rc1 source tree. Additional testing and comments would be appreciated.

Changes since version 1:
- Fixed typos in documentation and comments.
- Fixed MODULE_LICENSE string.
- No more mutex in atomic context.
- Return EINVAL when invalid patterns are written to the "pattern" attribute.

Add a new led trigger supporting arbitrary patterns.
This is useful for embedded systems with no screen or network access.

Export two sysfs attributes: "pattern", and "repeat".

When "repeat"=-1, repeat the pattern indefinitely. Otherwise, repeat it the specified number of times. "pattern" specifies the pattern as comma separated couples of "brightness duration" values. See detailled documentation in patch.

+LED Pattern Trigger
+===================
+
+This is a LED trigger allowing arbitrary pattern execution. It can do gradual
+dimming. This trigger can be configured to repeat the pattern a number of
+times or indefinitely. This is intended as a way of communication for embedded
+systems with no screen.
+
+The trigger can be activated from user space on LED class devices as shown
+below:
+
+  echo pattern > trigger
+
+This adds the following sysfs attributes to the LED:
+
+  pattern - specifies the pattern. See syntax below.
+
+  repeat - number of times the pattern must be repeated.
+	writing -1 to this file will make the pattern
+	repeat indefinitely.
+
+The pattern will be restarted each time a new value is written to
+the pattern or repeat attribute. When dimming, the LED brightness
+is set every 50 ms.
+
+pattern syntax:
+The pattern is specified in the pattern attribute with an array of comma-
+separated "brightness/length in miliseconds" values. The two components
+of each value are to be separated by a space.
+
+For example, assuming the driven LED supports
+intensity value from 0 to 255:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 255 2000 > pattern
+
+Or:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 255 2000, > pattern
+
+Will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255) intensity
+in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000 milliseconds:
+
+LED brightness
+    ^
+255-|       / \            / \            /
+    |      /    \         /    \         /
+    |     /       \      /       \      /
+    |    /          \   /          \   /
+  0-|   /             \/             \/
+    +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+
+
+To make the LED go instantly from one brigntess value to another,
+use zero-time lengths. For example:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 0 0, 255 2000, 255 0 > pattern
+
+Will make the LED stay off for one second, then stay at max brightness
+for two seconds:
+
+LED brightness
+    ^
+255-|        +---------+    +---------+
+    |        |         |    |         |
+    |        |         |    |         |
+    |        |         |    |         |
+  0-|   -----+         +----+         +----
+    +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+
+Notes:
+
+Patterns with invalid syntax are reported with EINVAL, the
+resulting LED brightness is undefined. Reading the pattern
+back returns an empty string.
+
+Patterns with less than two values, no value with time length > 50
+milliseconds, or no two values with differing brightnesses
+result in the LED being set at the brightness of the first value,
+or zero if the pattern contains no value. EINVAL is returned,
+and reading the pattern back returns an empty string.
+
+Because sysfs is used to define the pattern, patterns that need more than
+PAGE_SIZE characters to describe aren't supported. PAGE_SIZE is system
+dependent.

The idea of the morse trigger is so be able so send out a short error code or if needed also a complete sentence. The morse code don't need extra explanation to the user. Decoding can be found everywhere.

With the pattern trigger one need a translation of the letters and numbers into morse code. This is what the morse trigger is doing.

So from my perspective the pattern trigger is something different than the morse one.

Another question:
The pattern trigger is not in mainline. Do you know why?

Hi all,

Following your comments about [PATCH] leds: Add arbitrary pattern trigger,
here is a revised version of this patch.

This is intended for embedded systems without screen or network access
to show a status (or error) code to a human.

It's been tested on an ARM architecture (Xilinx Zynq 7010 SoC,
which CPU is a dual ARM Cortex-A9), with a non-mainline
kernel (xilinx-v2014.4, based of a 3.17.0 kernel).
Unfortunately, I don't have other hardware to test it on.
It compiles fine in a 3.19.0-rc1 source tree.
Additional testing and comments would be appreciated.

Changes since version 1:
 - Fixed typos in documentation and comments.
 - Fixed MODULE_LICENSE string.
 - No more mutex in atomic context.
 - Return EINVAL when invalid patterns are written to the "pattern" attribute.



Add a new led trigger supporting arbitrary patterns.
This is useful for embedded systems with no screen or network access.

Export two sysfs attributes: "pattern", and "repeat".

When "repeat"=-1, repeat the pattern indefinitely. Otherwise,
repeat it the specified number of times. "pattern" specifies
the pattern as comma separated couples of "brightness duration"
values. See detailled documentation in patch.

+LED Pattern Trigger
+===================
+
+This is a LED trigger allowing arbitrary pattern execution. It can do gradual
+dimming. This trigger can be configured to repeat the pattern a number of
+times or indefinitely. This is intended as a way of communication for embedded
+systems with no screen.
+
+The trigger can be activated from user space on LED class devices as shown
+below:
+
+  echo pattern > trigger
+
+This adds the following sysfs attributes to the LED:
+
+  pattern - specifies the pattern. See syntax below.
+
+  repeat - number of times the pattern must be repeated.
+	writing -1 to this file will make the pattern
+	repeat indefinitely.
+
+The pattern will be restarted each time a new value is written to
+the pattern or repeat attribute. When dimming, the LED brightness
+is set every 50 ms.
+
+pattern syntax:
+The pattern is specified in the pattern attribute with an array of comma-
+separated "brightness/length in miliseconds" values. The two components
+of each value are to be separated by a space.
+
+For example, assuming the driven LED supports
+intensity value from 0 to 255:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 255 2000 > pattern
+
+Or:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 255 2000, > pattern
+
+Will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255) intensity
+in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000 milliseconds:
+
+LED brightness
+    ^
+255-|       / \            / \            /
+    |      /    \         /    \         /
+    |     /       \      /       \      /
+    |    /          \   /          \   /
+  0-|   /             \/             \/
+    +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+
+
+To make the LED go instantly from one brigntess value to another,
+use zero-time lengths. For example:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 0 0, 255 2000, 255 0 > pattern
+
+Will make the LED stay off for one second, then stay at max brightness
+for two seconds:
+
+LED brightness
+    ^
+255-|        +---------+    +---------+
+    |        |         |    |         |
+    |        |         |    |         |
+    |        |         |    |         |
+  0-|   -----+         +----+         +----
+    +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+
+Notes:
+
+Patterns with invalid syntax are reported with EINVAL, the
+resulting LED brightness is undefined. Reading the pattern
+back returns an empty string.
+
+Patterns with less than two values, no value with time length > 50
+milliseconds, or no two values with differing brightnesses
+result in the LED being set at the brightness of the first value,
+or zero if the pattern contains no value. EINVAL is returned,
+and reading the pattern back returns an empty string.
+
+Because sysfs is used to define the pattern, patterns that need more than
+PAGE_SIZE characters to describe aren't supported. PAGE_SIZE is system
+dependent.

Hi!

Quoted 14 lines

Send out a morse code by using LEDs.

This is useful especially on embedded systems without displays to tell the user about error conditions and status information.

The trigger will be called "morse"

The string to be send is written into the file morse_string and sent out with a workqueue. Supported are letters and digits.

With the file dot_unit the minimal time unit can be adjusted in milliseconds.

Can we get more general "pattern" trigger? Some LEDs can do that in hardware, and it is more general than plain morse.

Ouch and it already was implemented :-). Patch is in attachment.

The idea of the morse trigger is so be able so send out a short error code or if needed also a complete sentence. The morse code don't need extra explanation to the user. Decoding can be found everywhere.

Yeah, well... I don't think decoding sentences in morse code is going to be much fun.

And we don't really want encoder in kernel. Just do encoding in userspace, and use pattern trigger to display it.

For many uses, morse code is "too geeky", and other patterns will be used.

Like " X " for error 1, " X X " for error 2, " .xX .xX " for

With the pattern trigger one need a translation of the letters and numbers into morse code. This is what the morse trigger is doing.

So from my perspective the pattern trigger is something different than the morse one.

Well, pattern trigger is more generic, and can do everything morse trigger can do. Lets do that instead.

Another question:
The pattern trigger is not in mainline. Do you know why?

Needs to be resubmitted, I'd say.

+LED Pattern Trigger
+===================
+
+This is a LED trigger allowing arbitrary pattern execution. It can do gradual
+dimming. This trigger can be configured to repeat the pattern a number of
+times or indefinitely. This is intended as a way of communication for embedded
+systems with no screen.
+
+The trigger can be activated from user space on LED class devices as shown
+below:
+
+  echo pattern > trigger
+
+This adds the following sysfs attributes to the LED:
+
+  pattern - specifies the pattern. See syntax below.
+
+  repeat - number of times the pattern must be repeated.
+	writing -1 to this file will make the pattern
+	repeat indefinitely.
+
+The pattern will be restarted each time a new value is written to
+the pattern or repeat attribute. When dimming, the LED brightness
+is set every 50 ms.
+
+pattern syntax:
+The pattern is specified in the pattern attribute with an array of comma-
+separated "brightness/length in miliseconds" values. The two components
+of each value are to be separated by a space.
+
+For example, assuming the driven LED supports
+intensity value from 0 to 255:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 255 2000 > pattern
+
+Or:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 255 2000, > pattern
+
+Will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255) intensity
+in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000 milliseconds:

+
+To make the LED go instantly from one brigntess value to another,
+use zero-time lengths. For example:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 0 0, 255 2000, 255 0 > pattern

Send out a morse code by using LEDs.

This is useful especially on embedded systems without displays to tell the user about error conditions and status information.

The trigger will be called "morse"

The string to be send is written into the file morse_string and sent out with a workqueue. Supported are letters and digits.

With the file dot_unit the minimal time unit can be adjusted in milliseconds.

Quoted 8 lines
Quoted 4 lines

Can we get more general "pattern" trigger? Some LEDs can do that in hardware, and it is more general than plain morse.

Ouch and it already was implemented :-). Patch is in attachment.

The idea of the morse trigger is so be able so send out a short error code or if needed also a complete sentence. The morse code don't need extra explanation to the user. Decoding can be found everywhere.

Yeah, well... I don't think decoding sentences in morse code is going to be much fun.

Quoted 9 lines

And we don't really want encoder in kernel. Just do encoding in userspace, and use pattern trigger to display it.

For many uses, morse code is "too geeky", and other patterns will be used.

Like " X " for error 1, " X X " for error 2, " .xX .xX " for
charging, " .xXx. " for everything okay...

The hardware i'm using is not able to adjust brightness. It can just switch the LED on or off. That's it.

If anybody is interested i can submit a version 2 of the morse trigger with the improvements suggested by Greg and Geert. Please let me know.

There are two parts here:
1. The general pattern trigger (which is not yet upstream),
2. A way to supply a string, convert it into morse code, and feed it to the LED subsystem.

Given 1 is not yet upstream, I think Andreas solution is fine. Once 1 is upstream, 2 can be modified to feed into 1, if available.

Do you agree?

Seriously, this is a very simple module, works well, and makes some system's life much easier as there is no external dependancy on a text-to-morse-code library needed.

If you don't want this cluttering up your kernel, don't built it in.

I think it should be taken as-is (well, with the few changes already recommended).

Hi all,

Following your comments about [PATCH] leds: Add arbitrary pattern trigger,
here is a revised version of this patch.

This is intended for embedded systems without screen or network access
to show a status (or error) code to a human.

It's been tested on an ARM architecture (Xilinx Zynq 7010 SoC,
which CPU is a dual ARM Cortex-A9), with a non-mainline
kernel (xilinx-v2014.4, based of a 3.17.0 kernel).
Unfortunately, I don't have other hardware to test it on.
It compiles fine in a 3.19.0-rc1 source tree.
Additional testing and comments would be appreciated.

Changes since version 1:
 - Fixed typos in documentation and comments.
 - Fixed MODULE_LICENSE string.
 - No more mutex in atomic context.
 - Return EINVAL when invalid patterns are written to the "pattern" attribute.



Add a new led trigger supporting arbitrary patterns.
This is useful for embedded systems with no screen or network access.

Export two sysfs attributes: "pattern", and "repeat".

When "repeat"=-1, repeat the pattern indefinitely. Otherwise,
repeat it the specified number of times. "pattern" specifies
the pattern as comma separated couples of "brightness duration"
values. See detailled documentation in patch.

+LED Pattern Trigger
+===================
+
+This is a LED trigger allowing arbitrary pattern execution. It can do gradual
+dimming. This trigger can be configured to repeat the pattern a number of
+times or indefinitely. This is intended as a way of communication for embedded
+systems with no screen.
+
+The trigger can be activated from user space on LED class devices as shown
+below:
+
+  echo pattern > trigger
+
+This adds the following sysfs attributes to the LED:
+
+  pattern - specifies the pattern. See syntax below.
+
+  repeat - number of times the pattern must be repeated.
+	writing -1 to this file will make the pattern
+	repeat indefinitely.
+
+The pattern will be restarted each time a new value is written to
+the pattern or repeat attribute. When dimming, the LED brightness
+is set every 50 ms.
+
+pattern syntax:
+The pattern is specified in the pattern attribute with an array of comma-
+separated "brightness/length in miliseconds" values. The two components
+of each value are to be separated by a space.
+
+For example, assuming the driven LED supports
+intensity value from 0 to 255:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 255 2000 > pattern
+
+Or:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 255 2000, > pattern
+
+Will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255) intensity
+in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000 milliseconds:
+
+LED brightness
+    ^
+255-|       / \            / \            /
+    |      /    \         /    \         /
+    |     /       \      /       \      /
+    |    /          \   /          \   /
+  0-|   /             \/             \/
+    +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+
+
+To make the LED go instantly from one brigntess value to another,
+use zero-time lengths. For example:
+
+  echo 0 1000, 0 0, 255 2000, 255 0 > pattern
+
+Will make the LED stay off for one second, then stay at max brightness
+for two seconds:
+
+LED brightness
+    ^
+255-|        +---------+    +---------+
+    |        |         |    |         |
+    |        |         |    |         |
+    |        |         |    |         |
+  0-|   -----+         +----+         +----
+    +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+
+Notes:
+
+Patterns with invalid syntax are reported with EINVAL, the
+resulting LED brightness is undefined. Reading the pattern
+back returns an empty string.
+
+Patterns with less than two values, no value with time length > 50
+milliseconds, or no two values with differing brightnesses
+result in the LED being set at the brightness of the first value,
+or zero if the pattern contains no value. EINVAL is returned,
+and reading the pattern back returns an empty string.
+
+Because sysfs is used to define the pattern, patterns that need more than
+PAGE_SIZE characters to describe aren't supported. PAGE_SIZE is system
+dependent.
