Change the Linux Kernel Device Tree
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's try making a small change to the kernel's device tree and enable a heartbeat LED using the User LED1 (\ |heartbeat-ref|\ ) to let us know that the system is alive automatically upon boot (this User LED1 is automatically on by default, checkout the GPIO guide to learn more about controlling it as-is):

Use your favorite text editor to open the main device tree file for the |product| development kit:

.. code-block:: none
    :caption: Host (Linux)
    :substitutions:

    vi |kernel-path|/|kernel-dts-path|

Edit the file according to the following diff:

**Device Tree Diff**

.. code-block::

    ...
                leds {
                    compatible = "gpio-leds";
                    pinctrl-names = "default";
                    pinctrl-0 = <&leds_pins_default>, <&user_leds_pins_default>;

                    led-1 {
                            gpios = <&main_gpio0 32 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
    -                       linux,default-trigger = "mmc0";
    +                       linux,default-trigger = "heartbeat";
                    };
