Description

Espressif's LEDC controller Node

The LEDC controller is primarily designed to control the intensity of LEDs, although it can be
used to generate PWM signals for other purposes as well.

The mapping between the channel and GPIO is done through pinctrl

  &ledc0 {
    pinctrl-0 = <&ledc0_default>;
    pinctrl-names = "default";
  }

The 'ledc0_default' node state is defined in <board>-pinctrl.dtsi.

  ledc0_default: ledc0_default {
          group1 {
                  pinmux = <LEDC_CH0_GPIO0>,
                           <LEDC_CH1_GPIO2>,
                           <LEDC_CH2_GPIO4>;
                  output-enable;
          };
  };

If another GPIO mapping is desired, check if <board>-pinctrl.dtsi already have it defined,
otherwise, define the required mapping at your own application folder into a custom
<board>.overlay file.
The 'pinmux' property uses a macro defined in
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/hal_espressif/tree/zephyr/include/dt-bindings/pinctrl
Before including a new node, check if the desired mapping is available according to the SoC.

As an example, the 'ledc0_custom' state below illustrates an alternate mapping using another set
of channels and pins in a custom overlay file.

  &pinctrl {

          ledc0_custom:  ledc0_custom {
                  group1 {
                          pinmux = <LEDC_CH0_GPIO0>,
                                   <LEDC_CH9_GPIO2>,
                                   <LEDC_CH10_GPIO4>;
                          output-enable;
                  };
           };

  };

Use the child bindings to configure the desired channel:

  &ledc0 {
    pinctrl-0 = <&ledc0_custom>;
    pinctrl-names = "default";
    status = "okay";
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <0>;
    channel0@0 {
      reg = <0x0>;
      timer = <0>;
    };
    channel9@9 {
      reg = <0x9>;
      timer = <0>;
    };
    channel10@a {
      reg = <0xa>;
      timer = <1>;
    };
  };

  Note: The channel's 'reg' property defines the ID of the channel. It must match the channel used
    in the 'pinmux'.

Node specific propertiesDeprecated node specific propertiesBase properties

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

Name	Type	Details
#pwm-cells	int	Number of items to expect in a pwm specifier This property is required. Constant value: 3
pinctrl-0	phandles	Pin configuration/s for the first state. Content is specific to the selected pin controller driver implementation.
pinctrl-1	phandles	Pin configuration/s for the second state. See pinctrl-0.
pinctrl-2	phandles	Pin configuration/s for the third state. See pinctrl-0.
pinctrl-3	phandles	Pin configuration/s for the fourth state. See pinctrl-0.
pinctrl-4	phandles	Pin configuration/s for the fifth state. See pinctrl-0.
pinctrl-names	string-array	Names for the provided states. The number of names needs to match the number of states.

Child node properties

Name	Type	Details
reg	int	The ESP32 has 8 low speed channel and 8 high speed channels. The low speed channel are mapped from channel 0 to 7, and the high speed are mapped from channel 8 to 15. High speed channels are only available in the ESP32 SoC. ESP32S2 and ESP32S3 have 8 available channels, and ESP32C3 has 6. In these SoCs there is no differentiation between low or high speed. This property is required. Legal values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 See Important properties for more information.
timer	int	Timer selection. For maximum flexibility, the high-speed as well as the low-speed channels can be driven from one of four high-speed/low-speed timers. This property is required. Legal values: 0, 1, 2, 3
