Now, after your driver for the biggest Display, I have a driver for the most
simple (only 4 LEDs on average), but probably the most common display:
A lcd4linux driver to control the port indicator LEDs on common USB Hubs.
The driver is pretty straightforward: you specify the vendor/product ID for
your hub in config, it then searches for the device, asks if it has
controllable LEDS, and how many, and then initializes them as GPOs for your
blinking pleasure.
The per-port GPOs accept the following values:
0 : Automatic color (display link state etc)
1 : Amber
2 : Green
3 : Off
Unfortunatly, my HUBs are all green-only, so I couldn't test "amber".
The normal function of the HUB isn't interrupted while the driver runs.
An example config file is attached.
Have fun with it,
/Ernst
