在内核CODE中查找PWM相关文件,找到s3c6410_timer_setup函数是设置PWM通道和分频比等相关函数的调用。恰好该函数在s3cfb_set_brightness中被调用,设置tcnt的值由1000到500,即可达效果。
补充一点:关于如何让系统不会进入待机睡眠状态的一种机制:终端中用以下命令echo "1" > /sys/power/wake_lock。
=============================================================================
顺便分析下android平台中是如何从上到下修改到背光的。
(1)寻找到背光调节的CODE:在packages/apps/Settings/src/com/android/settings的BrightnessPreference.java中:
private void setBrightness(int brightness) {
........
hardware.setBacklights(brightness);
}
(2)寻找到硬件服务的CODE:frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/HardwareService.java中:
public void setBacklights(int brightness) {
........
setLightBrightness_UNCHECKED(LIGHT_ID_BACKLIGHT, brightness); //注意其中的ID号
}
其中函数定义:
void setLightBrightness_UNCHECKED(int light, int brightness)
{
int b = brightness & 0x000000ff;
b = 0xff000000 | (b << 16) | (b << 8) | b;
setLight_native(mNativePointer, light, b, LIGHT_FLASH_NONE, 0, 0);
}
调用的是native的设备light的函数,并传入参数LIGHT_ID_BACKLIGHT,和亮度。
(3)本地设定的native用于设定亮度的函数在:/hardware/s3c6410/liblights/lights.c中:
static struct hw_module_methods_t lights_module_methods = {
.open = open_lights,
};
其中:
static int open_lights(const struct hw_module_t* module, char const* name,
struct hw_device_t** device)
{
........
if (0 == strcmp(LIGHT_ID_BACKLIGHT, name)) { //注意其ID号与上面是一致的
set_light = set_light_backlight;
}
}
实现函数是:
set_light_backlight(struct light_device_t* dev, struct light_state_t const* state)
{
int err = 0;
int brightness = rgb_to_brightness(state);
pthread_mutex_lock(&g_lock);
g_backlight = brightness;
err = write_int("/sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness", brightness);
if (g_haveTrackballLight) {
handle_trackball_light_locked(dev);
}
pthread_mutex_unlock(&g_lock);
return err;
}
其中write_int的参数sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness是linux系统默认的设备驱动模型的参数。可以通过在MID终端里面查看到。比如:cd /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight,再用ls -l 可以看到好几个属性。这些属性都由class_create来创建的。对于背光,我们可以在sys/class和/sys/devices/都找到对应的背光路径,这两个路径下还可以找得到关联的符号链接;但我们不会在/dev下找到背光的节点,因为一般不会那样做。
(4)在linux层执行改变亮度的函数是:
static struct led_classdev smdk_backlight_led = {
.name = "lcd-backlight",
.brightness = SMDK_DEFAULT_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS,
.brightness_set = smdk_brightness_set,
};
其中:
static void smdk_brightness_set(struct led_classdev *led_cdev, enum led_brightness value)
{
mutex_lock(&smdk_backlight_lock);
smdk_backlight_brightness = value;
if(!smdk_backlight_off)
smdk_set_backlight_level(smdk_backlight_brightness);
mutex_unlock(&smdk_backlight_lock);
}
其中:
static void smdk_set_backlight_level(u8 level)
{
if (smdk_backlight_last_level == level)
return;
s3cfb_set_brightness((int)(level/3));
smdk_backlight_last_level = level;
}
其中:
void s3cfb_set_brightness(int val)
{
int channel = 1; /* must use channel-1 */
int usec = 0; /* don't care value */
unsigned long tcnt = 500; //1000; //jeff.
unsigned long tcmp = 0;
if (val < 0)
val = 0;
if (val > S3C_FB_MAX_BRIGHTNESS)
val = S3C_FB_MAX_BRIGHTNESS;
s3c_fimd.brightness = val;
tcmp = val * 5;
s3c6410_timer_setup (channel, usec, tcnt, tcmp);
}
(5)疑问在于:A,上层调节的brightness,linux下层怎么样转到哪个函数上去的?就算都以lcd-backlight来匹配,问题是brightness怎么匹配到的?B,smdk_brightness_set的参数是enum类型的,而亮度是纯粹的INT类型,是怎么样传过来的?

补充一个关于背光的BUG解决记录。在MTK6516平台调节背光亮度时,耳机听筒可以听到电流声。初步估计是背光调节的PWM频率造成的干扰,测得目前的PWM频率是1.57KHZ,也小于背光驱动芯片的最大值2K。在代码数组blSettingsCustom中改动PWM_CLOCK_DIV_BY_2成PWM_CLOCK_DIV_BY_8,即使得PWM频率变为1.57KHZ*2/8=393HZ,烧录完毕测试电流声没有了。实测频率与计算的一致,可见改变PWM频率并不会影响驱动电压,只取决于占空比。
