Turn off onboard LEDs at boot

Question

I know very little about Raspberry Pi and Python. I've been able to turn off the LEDs in the terminal using the following command:

sudo su -
echo none > /sys/class/leds/led0/trigger

However, I would like to incorporate that into a Python program that can be executed on start-up. How can I approach this?

Answer 1

I found a work around that simply allows me to add a few lines to the boot config file /boot/config.txt

To disable ACT LED, add

dtparam=act_led_trigger=none
dtparam=act_led_activelow=off

To disable PWR LED, add

dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=none
dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off
