|
<para>Currently, most analog and digital devices have a Infrared input for remote controllers. Each
|
|
manufacturer has their own type of control. It is not rare for the same manufacturer to ship different
|
|
types of controls, depending on the device.</para>
|
|
<para>A Remote Controller interface is mapped as a normal evdev/input interface, just like a keyboard or a mouse.
|
|
So, it uses all ioctls already defined for any other input devices.</para>
|
|
<para>However, remove controllers are more flexible than a normal input device, as the IR
|
|
receiver (and/or transmitter) can be used in conjunction with a wide variety of different IR remotes.</para>
|
|
<para>In order to allow flexibility, the Remote Controller subsystem allows controlling the
|
|
RC-specific attributes via <link linkend="remote_controllers_sysfs_nodes">the sysfs class nodes</link>.</para>

<para>Unfortunately, for several years, there was no effort to create uniform IR keycodes for
|
|
different devices. This caused the same IR keyname to be mapped completely differently on
|
|
different IR devices. This resulted that the same IR keyname to be mapped completely different on
|
|
different IR's. Due to that, V4L2 API now specifies a standard for mapping Media keys on IR.</para>
|
|
<para>This standard should be used by both V4L/DVB drivers and userspace applications</para>
|
|
<para>The modules register the remote as keyboard within the linux input layer. This means that the IR key strokes will look like normal keyboard key strokes (if CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD is enabled). Using the event devices (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) it is possible for applications to access the remote via /dev/input/event devices.</para>
