The core needs to allow for RF remotes too. -Bluetooth remotes are already in kernel somehow, I don't know how they work, -RF4CE, the 802.15.4 stack has been recently merged, the remotes use a protocol on top of that. These remotes will hit the consumer market next year. Sony, Panasonic and other big names are behind this. -Zwave, the Harmony remotes use Zwave. There is no Zwave support in the kernel that I am aware of. Zwave is proprietary. After these protocols are decoded you end up with scancodes. The scancodes need to get injected into input somehow and then flow through the mapping process. Decoding down to the scancodes probably happens over in the networking code. After an in-kernel IR decoder runs it needs to hand off the scancodes into the input subsystem. This same API can be used by the networking code to hand off RF scancodes. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
