Sorry.... we completely lost the focus !
Do you remeber the thread title ? ;)

We have two separate issues here.
1) Making Matthews hardware / the scancode retrieval code work
And _if_ it turns out that we can't make it work without knowing the sub
protocol type in advance
2) how to handle this (which doesn't necessarily mean that we have to
solve it in the RC core)

So lets focus on 1) first:
After reading the code again, it boils down to the following code lines
in em28xx_ir_handle_key():

    if (unlikely(poll_result.read_count != ir->last_readcount)) {
        dprintk("%s: toggle: %d, count: %d, key 0x%02x%02x\n", __func__,
        ...
        rc_keydown(...)

With reg 0x50 set to EM2874_IR_NEC=0x00, Matthew doesn't get any
debugging messages when he presses the RC buttons.
With reg 0x50 set to 0x01, there are only few messages, with the same
single scancode:

So if Matthew didn't make any mistakes, the problem seems to be the read
count handling...


----------------------------------


Concerning the rc core / keymap stuff: it seems like there are some weak
spots.
The discussion is focussed on the scan codes and it seems to have a long
history.
I just want to make clear that I don't have an opinion about this yet
(nor do I want to change someone elses opinion !). I actually don't care
about it at the moment.
If we're going to discuss this further, I suggest to do that in a
separate thread with a more meaningful title.


Regards,
Frank
