This is a LED driver using the PWM on newer SOCs from Atmel; brightness is controlled by changing the PWM duty cycle. So for example if you've set up two leds labeled "pwm0" and "pwm1":
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness # off (0%) echo 80 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/pwm2/brightness # on (100%)
Note that "brightness" here isn't linear; maybe that should change. Going from 4 to 8 probably doubles perceived brightness, while 244 to 248 is imperceptible.
This is mostly intended to be a simple example of PWM, although it's realistic since LCD backlights are often driven with PWM to conserve battery power (and offer brightness options).
