Also, FWIW, since you've mentioned the charging led: it's somewhat meaningless, because mostly entirely controlled by software (and that mostly form userland, in fact). |
Software... do you mean Nickel? Or early U-Boot and kernel?
From what I learnt hooking my Kobo to serial, the long, non-blinking light indicates that U-Boot's loading the kernel, then when it starts to blink, it means the kernel is booting up Nickel or whatever else OS is in there (like Alpine and InkBox).
But yes, I agree that the light is turned off in userland. For InkBox, I had to write in some brightness value in /sys/class/leds/some-path-that-i-dont-remember to stop it.
Also, on my Glo HD, the light turns on (but doesn't blink) when I turn it on and there's no microSD card in it. On the Mini though, it doesn't. Probably that the board is in cause there...
