After hours of thrashing around, I finally figured out that the IRQ was misconfigured... Doh!

There seems to be some kind of timestamp? And something else? How do I tell which protocol this RC is using?

It looks like scancode 0x00 means "REPEAT" ? And 0x4cb41 would be '1' then? If I compile the legacy driver (which is much more cryptic) it outputs 04 cb 41 be So 0x4cb41 in common - plus a trailing 0xbe (what is that? Some kind of checksum perhaps?) (For '2', I get 04 cb 03 fc) I'm a bit confused between "protocols", "decoders", "scancodes", "keys", "keymaps". Is there some high-level doc somewhere? I found this, but it seems to dive straight into API details: https://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis-new/uapi/rc/remote_controllers.html I'll start a separate thread to discuss the available IR hardware on the board I'm using.
