IR Use
IR Configuration
The Firefly-RK3128 development board comes with IR sensor (between the USB OTG and headset jack) . This article describes how to use and configure the IR to work properly.You can do this in two parts:
- Modify the IR kernel driver. Works on both Linux and Android, which is low level hacking.
- Modify the key mapping if you are using Android, which is user space hacking.
Kernel Driver
The IR driver only supports NEC encode format. Below is the instructions of how to add your IR remote to send the right key code in Linux kernel.Files involved:
- DTS: kernel/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3128-fireprime.dts
- Driver: kernel/drivers/input/remotectl/rk_pwm_remotectl.c

};
};
Note:
- usercode: every IR has a unique user code.
- key_table: the mapping of scan code to kernel key code.
Get User Code and Key Value
You can get the answer in the remotectl_do_something func:
case RMC_USERCODE: {
if ((RK_PWM_TIME_BIT1_MIN < ddata->period) &&(ddata->period < RK_PWM_TIME_BIT1_MAX))
ddata->scandata |= (0x01 << ddata->count);
ddata->count++;
if (ddata->count == 0x10) {
DBG_CODE("USERCODE=0x%x\n", ddata->scandata);
if (remotectl_keybd_num_lookup(ddata)) {
ddata->state = RMC_GETDATA;
ddata->scandata = 0;
ddata->count = 0;
}
else {if (rk_remote_print_code){
ddata->state = RMC_GETDATA;
ddata->scandata = 0;
ddata->count = 0;} else
ddata->state = RMC_PRELOAD;
}
}
}
You can get the user code through DBG_CODE function.Add them to the remotectl_button array.
case RMC_GETDATA: {
#ifdef CONFIG_FIREFLY_POWER_LEDmod_timer(&timer_led,jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(50));remotectl_led_ctrl(0);
#endif
if(!get_state_remotectl() && (ddata->keycode != KEY_POWER)) {
ledtrig_ir_activity();
}
if ((RK_PWM_TIME_BIT1_MIN < ddata->period) &&(ddata->period < RK_PWM_TIME_BIT1_MAX))
ddata->scandata |= (0x01<<ddata->count);
ddata->count++;
if (ddata->count < 0x10) return;
DBG_CODE("RMC_GETDATA=%x\n", (ddata->scandata>>8));
if ((ddata->scandata&0x0ff) ==((~ddata->scandata >> 8) & 0x0ff)) {
if (remotectl_keycode_lookup(ddata)) {
ddata->press = 1;
input_event(ddata->input, EV_KEY,ddata->keycode, 1);
input_sync(ddata->input);
ddata->state = RMC_SEQUENCE;
}
else {
ddata->state = RMC_PRELOAD;
}
} else {
ddata->state = RMC_PRELOAD;
}
} break;
You can get the IR key value through DBG_CODE.
Compie in IR Driver
Check the kernel config file. Make sure the following options are turned on:
CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_REMOTECTL=y
CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_REMOTECTL_PWM=y
Or use make menuconfig in kernel source tree, and select in the IR support:
Device Drivers
--->Input device support
-----> [*] rkxx remotectl
------->[*] rkxx remoctrl pwm0 capture.
Then you can make the kernel.
Android Key Remapping
/system/usr/keylayout/20050030_pwm.kl is a file mapping scancodes in kernel to keycodes in Android. You can add or modify it to match your IR remote’s keys.The content of the file is:
key 28 ENTER
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 158 BACK
key 139 MfENU
key 217 SEARCH
key 232 DPAD_CENTER
key 108 DPAD_DOWN
key 103 DPAD_UP
key 102 HOME
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
key 115 VOLUME_UP
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
key 143 NOTIFICATION WAKE
key 113 VOLUME_MUTE
key 388 TV_KEYMOUSE_MODE_SWITCH
key 400 TV_MEDIA_MULT_BACKWARD
key 401 TV_MEDIA_MULT_FORWARD
key 402 TV_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
key 64 TV_MEDIA_PLAY
key 65 TV_MEDIA_PAUSE
key 66 TV_MEDIA_STOP
key 67 TV_MEDIA_REWIND
key 68 TV_MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD
key 87 TV_MEDIA_PREVIOUS
key 88 TV_MEDIA_NEXT
key 250 FIREFLY_RECENT
You can modify this file via adb and reboot to take effect.
