Subject: SATA backplane activity LEDs
Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2013 15:40:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ktp2k8$de0$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
I am trying to get the drive activity LEDs in my Thecus N5550 NAS
working with a standard distribution kernel. These LEDs are controlled
by an NXP PCA9532 dimmer, rather than the SiI 3132 SATA controller. I
have been able to build the Thecus modules for a standard kernel, and I
am able to control the LEDs manually (through their non-standard
/proc/thecus_io interface).
Thecus uses a modified libata-core.c and libahci.c to control the LEDs,
replacing ata_qc_new and ata_qc_free with variants that turn the LEDs
on and off. If at all possible, I would prefer not to be this
intrusive.
Is there any better way to do this?
Thanks!
