APU1D LEDs

rmkilc

I am trying to figure out how to activate the front LEDs on my APU1D. I have found multiple old forum threads about this topic, but no solution. The BlinkLED package does not work. What can I do?

I found these how to implement them:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2014-May/045091.html

I found this on a bugtracker:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3565

According to the last post in this thread, it has been implemented in t1n1wall:

I am trying to figure out how to activate the front LEDs on my APU1D. I have found multiple old forum threads about this topic, but no solution. The BlinkLED package does not work. What can I do?

And the adequate answer to this from "Jim Pingle" was the following:

We don't have FreeBSD drivers for the APU LEDs generally available yet. There isn't anything the package can do about that.

The APU1Cx was changed against the APU1Dx series and now it will be changed against the APU2Dx series
and if there is no driver to connect the LED to any part of code it will be not able to let them light.

Linux is Linux and pfSense is based on FreeBSD.

So if there will be never shown a way to solve it out it isn´t something you could do.

From there is the answer from above.

That mOnOwall was owning a way means not really that this way is able to go also for pfSense.

The only way I know to get some information out on this might be shown in the next line;
APU1D4 front LEDs
Especial the last comment of the thread is interesting sounding to me:

There is a different driver for the APU LEDs that makes them show up as /dev/led entries, but the licensing on the driver was a bit odd, I'm not sure that ever got properly cleared up to include it.

I would follow the link to the Github and try it out.

Thread is ancient, locking it. This does look relevant though.
