This may not work on all Beagles since it depends on which
version of Debian you are running.
+Blinking in response to a button
+---------------------------------
+Some Beagles have a USR button that can be used to control the LEDs.
+You can test the USR button with ``evtest``
+
+.. code-block:: shell-session
+
+ bone:~$ evtest
+ No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event*
+ Not running as root, no devices may be available.
+ Available devices:
+ /dev/input/event0: tps65219-pwrbutton
+ /dev/input/event1: gpio-keys
+ Select the device event number [0-1]: 1
+
+We want to use ``gpio-keys``, so enter ``1``. Press and release
+the USR button and you'll see:
