Controlling LVDS and backlight through Android App

hadarcadouri — Tue, 05 Aug 2014 17:49:59 GMT

Hello,

I'm working with an SBC which utilizes the iMX6 processor (Dual), running Android; where the app is in kiosk mode and has to be constantly on to communicate with the rest of the system. I would like to define a power saving mode within the app itself, meaning that the app continues to communicate with the rest of the system, but controls the backlight, LVDS, and other hardware peripherals.

Is there a means by which the android app (not Linux command line) can enable/disable the LVDS and backlight outputs in real time?

thanks,

Hi,

You can modify backlight with Android API, like in this document :

Hadar,

were you able to modify the backlight with Remi's suggestion?, do you have any questions about it?
