Keep alive can be implemented via the class driver
opened this issue · comments
This is more of a suggestion than an issue. It's possible to push the keep alive functionality down to the Linux kernel by putting the LED in oneshot mode. See the documentation here:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/leds/ledtrig-oneshot.txt?v=3.8
Once in oneshot mode (with the delays sent appropriately), the keep alive operation is just writing something to the /sys/class/leds/.../shot file. The kernel will automatically turn the LED off a short time later if the application stops writing to the shot file.
Excellent point. I should have done it that way. I'll redo it when I get some time. It also lets me remove initialize() and the ETS table.
Agreed. Removed in 0.7.0. Thanks, @fhunleth
