I tried to enable LED1 like this

    outl(GPIOL_6_SET, GPIO_IO_BASE + GPIOL_OUT_AUX1_SELECT);
    outl(GPIOL_6_SET, GPIO_IO_BASE + GPIOL_OUTPUT_ENABLE);
    outl(GPIOL_6_SET, GPIO_IO_BASE + GPIOL_IN_AUX1_SELECT);
    outl(GPIOL_6_SET, GPIO_IO_BASE + GPIOL_INPUT_ENABLE);

but this only turns on the led on bootup and gives no control on it :(
Can somebody look into this problem?
