-Lightbar simulator
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Build with "make lightbar". The executable is "./lightbar".
-
-You may need to install libxcb1-dev or similar.
-
-This provides a simulation environment for the lightbar task, compiling
-common/lightbar.c from the EC source, but faking the rest of the EC.
-
-The EC console is on stdin/stdout, delivering all input to the lightbar's
-console command handler (so it prefixes any input with "lightbar"). The
-lightbar itself is displayed in an X window. You can click in that window to
-emulate changes to the battery level, AC connection, and brightness, all of
-which are normally outside the lightbar task's direct control.
-
-The initial sequence is "S5". Try issuing the command "seq s3s0" to see
-something more familiar.
-
-
-Note: the Pixel lightbar circuitry has three modes of operation:
-
-Unpowered
-
- When the host CPU is off (S5/G3), all power to the lightbar and its
- controller circuitry is lost.
-
-On
-
- When the host CPU is on (S0) or suspended (S3), the lightbar is powered
- again. After every power loss, it will need to be reinitialized by calling
- lb_init() before it can be used.
-
-Standby
-
- The lightbar controller ICs can turn off all the LED outputs to conserve
- power. This is the initial state when power is applied. You can turn the
- LEDs off manually by calling lb_off(). When suspended, the controller will
- respond to commands, but the LEDs aren't lit. Turn them on with lb_on().
