Linux kernel driver #193

Open steelman opened 9 years ago

steelman commented 9 years ago

Linux kernel provides a special class for such devices documented here. The class defines convenient API not only for user-space programmes, which is what blink1 provides too, but also for kernel code. A LED class device can be hooked to one of many triggers like: timer, firewall rules, device activity.

Hi! I'm unsure what this issue is about. blink(1) is already in the Linux kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hid/hid-thingm.c

Then the README.md could use an update to reflect this fact. I filed this issue after I had looked there and didn't find any reference to the kernel driver.

That's great BTW (-:

Good point. I actually don't know much about the kernel driver beyond the link above. I should do some research, try it out, and do a writeup. I'll leave this issue open til that happens.

Documentation bugs, the worst sort (-:
