Note

An implementation of a driver matching this compatible is available in drivers/led_strip/ws2812_gpio.c.

Description

Worldsemi WS2812 LED strip, GPIO binding

Driver bindings for bit-banging a WS2812 or compatible LED strip.

The CPU driver uses inline assembly, and isn't available for all
boards. The timing is automatically derived from the CPU clock frequency,
or can be provided by setting the delay-txx properties in the device
tree, or can be manually provided by the Kconfig settings DELAY_Txx.

The four delays provided (calculated based on the clock frequency,
provided by a dts, or Kconfig file) determine the delays as depicted
below. The exact timings of the LED strip data line might vary on the
type of LEDs used, consult the data-sheet for the precise timings.

Properties

Node specific properties

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

Name

Type

Details

delay-t1h

int

Number of NOP assembly operations to create a delay for a 1 bit, high
voltage period (default 700 nsec)

delay-t1l

int

Number of NOP assembly operations to create a delay for a 1 bit, low
voltage period (default 600 nsec)

delay-t0h

int

Number of NOP assembly operations to create a delay for a 0 bit, high
voltage period (default 350 nsec)

delay-t0l

int

Number of NOP assembly operations to create a delay for a 0 bit, low
voltage period (default 800 nsec)

gpios

phandle-array

GPIO phandle and specifier for the pin connected to the
led-strip. Exactly one pin should be given.

This property is required.

reset-delay

int

Minimum delay to wait (in microseconds) to make sure that the strip has
latched the signal. If omitted, a default value of 8 microseconds is used.
This default is good for the WS2812 controllers. Note that despite the
WS2812 datasheet states that a 50 microseconds delay is required, it seems
6 microseconds is enough. The default is set to 8 microseconds just to be
safe.

Default value: 8

chain-length

int

The number of devices in the daisy-chain.

This property is required.

color-mapping

array

Channel to color mapping (or pixel order).

For example a GRB channel to color mapping would be

   color-mapping = <LED_COLOR_ID_GREEN
                    LED_COLOR_ID_RED
                    LED_COLOR_ID_BLUE>;

This property is required.

Deprecated node specific properties

Deprecated properties not inherited from the base binding file.

(None)

Base properties

Properties inherited from the base binding file, which defines common properties that may be set on many nodes. Not all of these may apply to the “worldsemi,ws2812-gpio” compatible.

boolean

Do not initialize device automatically on boot. Device should be manually
initialized using device_init().

wakeup-source

boolean

Property to identify that a device can be used as wake up source.

When this property is provided a specific flag is set into the
device that tells the system that the device is capable of
wake up the system.

Wake up capable devices are disabled (interruptions will not wake up
the system) by default but they can be enabled at runtime if necessary.
