Remote Controller core
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-.. kernel-doc:: include/media/rc-core.h
+The remote controller core implements infrastructure to receive and send
+remote controller keyboard keystrokes and mouse events.
-.. kernel-doc:: include/media/rc-map.h
+Every time a key is pressed on a remote controller, a scan code is produced.
+Also, on most hardware, keeping a key pressed for more than a few dozens of
+milliseconds produce a repeat key event. That's somewhat similar to what
+a normal keyboard or mouse is handled internally on Linux\ [#f1]_. So, the
+remote controller core is implemented on the top of the linux input/evdev
+interface.
+
+.. [#f1]
+
+ The main difference is that, on keyboard events, the keyboard controller
+ produces one event for a key press and another one for key release. On
+ infrared-based remote controllers, there's no key release event. Instead,
+ an extra code is produced to indicate key repeats.
+
+However, most of the remote controllers use infrared (IR) to transmit signals.
+As there are several protocols used to modulate infrared signals, one
+important part of the core is dedicated to adjust the driver and the core
+system to support the infrared protocol used by the emitter.
+
+The infrared transmission is done by blinking a infrared emitter using a
+carrier. The carrier can be switched on or off by the IR transmitter
+hardware. When the carrier is switched on, it is called *PULSE*.
+When the carrier is switched off, it is called *SPACE*.
+
+In other words, a typical IR transmission can be viewed as a sequence of
+*PULSE* and *SPACE* events, each with a given duration.
+
+The carrier parameters (frequency, duty cycle) and the intervals for
+*PULSE* and *SPACE* events depend on the protocol.
+For example, the NEC protocol uses a carrier of 38kHz, and transmissions
+start with a 9ms *PULSE* and a 4.5ms SPACE. It then transmits 16 bits of
+scan code, being 8 bits for address (usually it is a fixed number for a
+given remote controller), followed by 8 bits of code. A bit "1" is modulated
+with 560µs *PULSE* followed by 1690µs *SPACE* and a bit "0" is modulated
+with 560µs *PULSE* followed by 560µs *SPACE*.
+
+At receiver, a simple low-pass filter can be used to convert the received
+signal in a sequence of *PULSE/SPACE* events, filtering out the carrier
+frequency. Due to that, the receiver doesn't care about the carrier's
+actual frequency parameters: all it has to do is to measure the amount
+of time it receives *PULSE/SPACE* events.
+So, a simple IR receiver hardware will just provide a sequence of timings
+for those events to the Kernel. The drivers for hardware with such kind of
+receivers are identified by ``RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW``, as defined by
+:c:type:`rc_driver_type`\ [#f2]_. Other hardware come with a
+microcontroller that decode the *PULSE/SPACE* sequence and return scan
+codes to the Kernel. Such kind of receivers are identified
+by ``RC_DRIVER_SCANCODE``.
-LIRC
-~~~~
+.. [#f2]
-.. kernel-doc:: include/media/lirc_dev.h
+ The RC core also supports devices that have just IR emitters,
+ without any receivers. Right now, all such devices work only in
+ raw TX mode. Such kind of hardware is identified as
+ ``RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW_TX``.
+
+When the RC core receives events produced by ``RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW`` IR
+receivers, it needs to decode the IR protocol, in order to obtain the
+corresponding scan code. The protocols supported by the RC core are
+defined at enum :c:type:`rc_proto`.
+
+When the RC code receives a scan code (either directly, by a driver
+of the type ``RC_DRIVER_SCANCODE``, or via its IR decoders), it needs
+to convert into a Linux input event code. This is done via a mapping
+table.
+
+The Kernel has support for mapping tables available on most media
+devices. It also supports loading a table in runtime, via some
+sysfs nodes. See the :ref:`RC userspace API <Remote_controllers_Intro>`
+for more details.

The V4L2 events provide a generic way to pass events to user space.
The driver must use :c:type:`v4l2_fh` to be able to support V4L2 events.
-Events are defined by a type and an optional ID. The ID may refer to a V4L2
-object such as a control ID. If unused, then the ID is 0.
+Events are subscribed per-filehandle. An event specification consists of a
+``type`` and is optionally associated with an object identified through the
+``id`` field. If unused, then the ``id`` is 0. So an event is uniquely
+identified by the ``(type, id)`` tuple.
-When the user subscribes to an event the driver will allocate a number of
-kevent structs for that event. So every (type, ID) event tuple will have
-its own set of kevent structs. This guarantees that if a driver is generating
-lots of events of one type in a short time, then that will not overwrite
-events of another type.
+The :c:type:`v4l2_fh` struct has a list of subscribed events on its
+``subscribed`` field.
-But if you get more events of one type than the number of kevents that were
-reserved, then the oldest event will be dropped and the new one added.
+When the user subscribes to an event, a :c:type:`v4l2_subscribed_event`
+struct is added to :c:type:`v4l2_fh`\ ``.subscribed``, one for every
+subscribed event.
+
+Each :c:type:`v4l2_subscribed_event` struct ends with a
+:c:type:`v4l2_kevent` ringbuffer, with the size given by the caller
+of :c:func:`v4l2_event_subscribe`. This ringbuffer is used to store any events
+raised by the driver.
+
+So every ``(type, ID)`` event tuple will have its own
+:c:type:`v4l2_kevent` ringbuffer. This guarantees that if a driver is
+generating lots of events of one type in a short time, then that will
+not overwrite events of another type.
+
+But if you get more events of one type than the size of the
+:c:type:`v4l2_kevent` ringbuffer, then the oldest event will be dropped
+and the new one added.
+
+The :c:type:`v4l2_kevent` struct links into the ``available``
+list of the :c:type:`v4l2_fh` struct so :ref:`VIDIOC_DQEVENT` will
+know which event to dequeue first.
+
+Finally, if the event subscription is associated with a particular object
+such as a V4L2 control, then that object needs to know about that as well
+so that an event can be raised by that object. So the ``node`` field can
+be used to link the :c:type:`v4l2_subscribed_event` struct into a list of
+such objects.
+
+So to summarize:
+
+- struct :c:type:`v4l2_fh` has two lists: one of the ``subscribed`` events,
+ and one of the ``available`` events.
+
+- struct :c:type:`v4l2_subscribed_event` has a ringbuffer of raised
+ (pending) events of that particular type.
+
+- If struct :c:type:`v4l2_subscribed_event` is associated with a specific
+ object, then that object will have an internal list of
+ struct :c:type:`v4l2_subscribed_event` so it knows who subscribed an
+ event to that object.
Furthermore, the internal struct :c:type:`v4l2_subscribed_event` has
``merge()`` and ``replace()`` callbacks which drivers can set. These
callbacks are called when a new event is raised and there is no more room.
+
The ``replace()`` callback allows you to replace the payload of the old event
with that of the new event, merging any relevant data from the old payload
into the new payload that replaces it. It is called when this event type has
-only one kevent struct allocated. The ``merge()`` callback allows you to merge
-the oldest event payload into that of the second-oldest event payload. It is
-called when there are two or more kevent structs allocated.
+a ringbuffer with size is one, i.e. only one event can be stored in the
+ringbuffer.
+
+The ``merge()`` callback allows you to merge the oldest event payload into
+that of the second-oldest event payload. It is called when
+the ringbuffer has size is greater than one.
This way no status information is lost, just the intermediate steps leading
up to that state.

+
+ For receiving, you read ``struct lirc_scancode`` from the lirc device,

-
-Description
-===========
-
-Retrieves the code length in bits (only for

-Reads on the device must be done in blocks matching the bit count.
-The bit could should be rounded up so that it matches full bytes.
