The leds-gpio driver enables many LED control schemes (via the "default-trigger" option) and allows them to be modified from user space; these drivers are suitable for any output-only GPIO application. Under the AXI interconnect, create a node named “leds-gpio”, like in the example below:
gpio-leds { compatible = "gpio-leds"; led-ds23 { label = "led-ds23"; gpios = <&ps7_gpio_0 10 0>; default-state = "on"; linux,default-trigger = "heartbeat"; }; };
Multiple LEDs can be nested at the same level as led-ds23 within gpio-leds. In this example, the LED is named led-ds23 to match the label ("DS23") on the ZC702 board, but this does not have any technical impact. The string <&ps7_gpio_0 10 0> references the GPIO controller and states that this device is on the GPIO pin/bit of 10; the 0 states that the device is active high. The default-trigger property dictates that the control scheme for the LED is “heartbeat” mode; in this mode the LED will double-pulse with a frequency relative to the CPU load.
