How to completely switch off LCD backlight

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
       I've got LCD backlight brightness control working with a custom beagleboard design, with the LCD backlight pwm control signal connected to OMAP3503's gpt9_pwm_evt timer.

GPIO 96 is connected to the LCD LED enable pin for controlling the on/off for the LCD backlight. 

I also see a bl_power file in /sys/class/backlight/beagleboard/ folder.

# ls /sys/class/backlight/beagleboard
uevent
subsystem
bl_power
brightness
actual_brightness
max_brightness
boost
pwm_fq
min_duty
power

I want to be able to fully turn the LCD backlight on and off. How do I map GPIO 96 to bl_power?

Right now, if I blank the LCD using the following command, it gives me a white screen, but the backlight doesn't turn off

$ echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank
