If using GPIO-connected LEDs, + * enable the `LED_GPIO` Kconfig option. + * + * `LED_BLINK` support requires LED driver support and is therefore optional. If LED blink + * functionality is needed, enable the `LED_BLINK` Kconfig option. + * + * GPIO-connected LEDs can simulate blinking via software using the Cyclic API. To utilize this, + * enable `CONFIG_LED_GPIO_SW_BLINK`. This will also select `CONFIG_LED_BLINK` and `CONFIG_CYCLIC`. + * + * Boot and Activity LEDs are also supported. These LEDs can signal various system operations + * during runtime, such as boot initialization, file transfers, and flash write/erase operations. + * + * To enable a Boot LED, enable `CONFIG_LED_BOOT_ENABLE` and define `CONFIG_LED_BOOT_LABEL`. This + * will enable the specified LED to blink and turn ON when the bootloader initializes correctly. + * + * To enable an Activity LED, enable `CONFIG_LED_ACTIVITY_ENABLE` and define + * `CONFIG_LED_ACTIVITY_LABEL`. + * This will enable the specified LED to blink and turn ON during file transfers or flash + * write/erase operations. + * + * Both Boot and Activity LEDs provide a simple API to turn the LED ON or OFF: + * `led_boot_on()`, `led_boot_off()`, `led_activity_on()`, and `led_activity_off()`. + * + * Both configurations can optionally define a `_PERIOD` option if `CONFIG_LED_BLINK` is enabled + * for LED blink operations, which is usually used by the Activity LED. + * + * When `CONFIG_LED_BLINK` is enabled, additional APIs are exposed: `led_boot_blink()` and + * `led_activity_blink()`. Note that if `CONFIG_LED_BLINK` is disabled, these APIs will behave + * like the `led_boot_on()` and `led_activity_on()` APIs, respectively. + */ + struct udevice; enum led_state_t { -- 2.45.1
