<title>Remote Controllers</title>

<section id="Remote_controllers_Intro">
<title>Introduction</title>

<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>
</section>

<section id="remote_controllers_sysfs_nodes">
<title>Remote Controller's sysfs nodes</title>
<para>As defined at <constant>Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-rc</constant>, those are the sysfs nodes that control the Remote Controllers:</para>

<section id="sys_class_rc">
<title>/sys/class/rc/</title>
<para>The <constant>/sys/class/rc/</constant> class sub-directory belongs to the Remote Controller
core and provides a sysfs interface for configuring infrared remote controller receivers.
</para>

</section>
<section id="sys_class_rc_rcN">
<title>/sys/class/rc/rcN/</title>
<para>A <constant>/sys/class/rc/rcN</constant> directory is created for each remote
  control receiver device where N is the number of the receiver.</para>

</section>
<section id="sys_class_rc_rcN_protocols">
<title>/sys/class/rc/rcN/protocols</title>
<para>Reading this file returns a list of available protocols, something like:</para>
<para><constant>rc5 [rc6] nec jvc [sony]</constant></para>
<para>Enabled protocols are shown in [] brackets.</para>
<para>Writing "+proto" will add a protocol to the list of enabled protocols.</para>
<para>Writing "-proto" will remove a protocol from the list of enabled protocols.</para>
<para>Writing "proto" will enable only "proto".</para>
<para>Writing "none" will disable all protocols.</para>
<para>Write fails with EINVAL if an invalid protocol combination or unknown protocol name is used.</para>

</section>
<section id="sys_class_rc_rcN_filter">
<title>/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter</title>
<para>Sets the scancode filter expected value.</para>
<para>Use in combination with <constant>/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter_mask</constant> to set the
expected value of the bits set in the filter mask.
If the hardware supports it then scancodes which do not match
the filter will be ignored. Otherwise the write will fail with
an error.</para>
<para>This value may be reset to 0 if the current protocol is altered.</para>

</section>
<section id="sys_class_rc_rcN_filter_mask">
<title>/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter_mask</title>
<para>Sets the scancode filter mask of bits to compare.
Use in combination with <constant>/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter</constant> to set the bits
of the scancode which should be compared against the expected
value. A value of 0 disables the filter to allow all valid
scancodes to be processed.</para>
<para>If the hardware supports it then scancodes which do not match
the filter will be ignored. Otherwise the write will fail with
an error.</para>
<para>This value may be reset to 0 if the current protocol is altered.</para>

<section id="sys_class_rc_rcN_wakeup_protocols">
<title>/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_protocols</title>
<para>Reading this file returns a list of available protocols to use for the
wakeup filter, something like:</para>
<para><constant>rc5 rc6 nec jvc [sony]</constant></para>
<para>The enabled wakeup protocol is shown in [] brackets.</para>
<para>Writing "+proto" will add a protocol to the list of enabled wakeup
protocols.</para>
<para>Writing "-proto" will remove a protocol from the list of enabled wakeup
protocols.</para>
<para>Writing "proto" will use "proto" for wakeup events.</para>
<para>Writing "none" will disable wakeup.</para>
<para>Write fails with EINVAL if an invalid protocol combination or unknown
protocol name is used, or if wakeup is not supported by the hardware.</para>

</section>
<section id="sys_class_rc_rcN_wakeup_filter">
<title>/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_filter</title>
<para>Sets the scancode wakeup filter expected value.
Use in combination with <constant>/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_filter_mask</constant> to
set the expected value of the bits set in the wakeup filter mask
to trigger a system wake event.</para>
<para>If the hardware supports it and wakeup_filter_mask is not 0 then
scancodes which match the filter will wake the system from e.g.
suspend to RAM or power off.
Otherwise the write will fail with an error.</para>
<para>This value may be reset to 0 if the wakeup protocol is altered.</para>

<title>Remote controller tables</title>
<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>
