SG-3100 - Disabling pulsing blue light on 2.5.0 / 21.02

[smithgcovert]

Hello,

I have upgraded my SG-3100 to the new, just released 21.02_1 image -- so far so good! TY!

One thing that appears to be different in this new version is how you control the front panel lights. In the old, 2.4.5 version, I could run this command to disable the slow blinking, blue, "everything is fine" light:
gpioctl 2 duty 0

This no longer works on this new image. I did find some references to pre-release builds that there was a change in the interface to the lights.

Could someone give me what would be the new command to disable the slow blinking, "everything is fine" blue light?

Thanks,
Greg

Yup, exactly that. You need to specify the gpio device since it now recognises 3 devices and the LED controller is on the 3rd device, gpioc2.

Thanks! That worked.

For anyone else who happens to find this link first, solution is to run this command now:

/usr/sbin/gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 6 duty 0

Correction, to turn off the pulsing blue light, use this:

gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 2 duty 0

Does anyone know the best way to run this command at startup?
