No label there. This is what it looks like:
https://people.freedesktop.org/~lkundrak/ariel-leds.jpeg

The green and amber, despite being packaged separately, can be
controlled independently (they are not connected to the same inputs in
reverse).

What does the machine do with stock firmware & ThinOS:
* On power on, EC lights up the Amber one & Blue one
* As soon as the firmware takes control, it turns off Amber and turns on
  Green
* Just before passing control to the OS, firmware turns the Green LED to
  blinking
* As soon as OS initializes, it turns Green back to always-on

Therefore the functionality generally is as follows:
* Amber is always off (only on for a short time between CPU on and
  firmware running)
- Green blinking means "loading OS", otherwise always on when CPU is on
- Blue is always on when the CPU is on

Thanks for the comments -- I'll address them in the next version.

Take care!
