AMD Ryzen AI Halo LED Driver Queued For Introduction In Linux 7.3

AMD's Ryzen AI Halo LED driver is queued for introduction in the Linux 7.3 kernel cycle, enabling LED customization on Ryzen AI Halo mini PCs. The driver, developed by AMD engineers, allows turning LEDs on/off and manipulating color via sysfs interfaces, and is set to be submitted for the Linux 7.3 merge window opening in late August.

AMD Ryzen AI Halo LED Driver Queued For Introduction In Linux 7.3 For those that have picked up one of the neat The AMD Ryzen AI Halo PC is in great shape for Linux and AMD even AMD engineers have been developing The latest news is that this "amd halo led" driver is queued in So with Linux 7.3 it will be possible to configure the Ryzen AI Halo device's LED lighting via the new AMD Ryzen AI Halo mini PCs https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-ryzen-ai-halo , the LED driver allowing for customization of the LED lighting bar is set to be mainlined for the Linux 7.3 kernel cycle.The AMD Ryzen AI Halo PC is in great shape for Linux and AMD even ships their own customized Linux distribution based on Debian https://www.phoronix.com/review/ryzen-ai-linux-os as the Ryzen AI Developer Platform. One of the few Linux limitations at launch though was the inability to control the LED lighting with the mainline kernel, although could be toggled within the Ryzen AI Developer Platform.AMD engineers have been developing an LED driver for the Ryzen AI Halo box https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Halo-Box-RGB-LED-Driver to allow not only turning the LEDs on/off but manipulating the LED color too.The latest news is that this "amd halo led" driver is queued in platform-drivers-x86.git's "for-next" Git branch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=4ed460ce13710f7f2cf22e0c9e66c7add13c7a53 . With this driver now in place, it's set to be submitted for the Linux 7.3 merge window once that opens in late August.So with Linux 7.3 it will be possible to configure the Ryzen AI Halo device's LED lighting via the new /sys/class/leds/amd halo:multicolor:status/multi intensity and /sys/class/leds/amd halo:multicolor:status/brightness interfaces. The amd halo led driver is toggled at build time via the new AMD HALO LED Kconfig option.
