http://free-electrons.com/pub/mirror/devmem2.c is your friend.

On a DBAu1100 for instance I have a nice example:

        $ while true; do
        >       for i in 7 B D E D B; do
        >                       ./devmem2 0x0E000018 w 0x00000${i}03
        >                       sleep 0.01
        >               done
        > done > /dev/null
        $

Remember the days of the Night Rider? You will see LED D5, D6, D7
and D8 flash in a nice manner.

In the same way you must be able to alter the hex leds.

Thanks. Works as advertised.

A couples notes to anyone else interested
- devmem2 does not use the au1000_gpio char driver so it could
potentially be used with other processors.
-busybox (if you are using it) doesn't support sub-second sleep like
in the example given by Freddy.
