Hi,

I am working on the MPC8270 board having connected GPIO 3 lines
connected to 3 LEDs. So can any one help me in finding out the best
solution of controlling the LEDs from MVlinux (kernel and user space) or
any pointers who has done it before.=0D

Thanks & Rgds

Hi Surabhi,
 You basically have to write appropriate values into Port data register
corresponding to the GPIO pin to switch the led on or of. The register
can be accessed thru the immap pointer.(i.e internal memory map pointer
)look at the file include/asm-ppc/immap_cpm2.h relative to ur kernel
source base. You will find the mapped register variable in this file.

If you need to access this immap memory from userspace then u have to
make a system call to enter kernel space and access the immap memory.

Akash Kaul

Hi,
I have made a driver for our mpc8270 board 
It is based upon Denx led_driver and made for 2.6 kernel
(See atached file)

To control the leds you have to perfom some ioctl's
first create your devices 
mknod led0 c 151 0 ...

Example howto use it:

void led_off( int file )
{
  if (ioctl(file,STATUSLED_SET,0) < 0)
    perror("led off: ");
}
void led_blink( int file )
{
  if (ioctl(file,STATUSLED_SET,1) < 0)
    perror("led blink: ");
}
void led_on( int file )
{
  if (ioctl(file,STATUSLED_SET,2) < 0)
    perror("led on: ");
}
void led_per( int file, int period )
{
  if (ioctl(file,STATUSLED_PERIOD,period) < 0)
    perror("led on: ");
}

...

int led0 = open("/dev/led0",O_RDWR)
...
  led_blink(led0);	/* turn on green LED */
..
