Basic IR Support

[xalius]

Ok I enabled and built the kernel module sunxi-ir-rx in the latest longsleep kernel and that loads fine and creates /dev/input/event3 :

Code:

[11421.673001] Registered IR keymap rc_map_sunxi
[11421.673523] input: sunxi_ir_recv as /devices/soc.0/1f02000.s_cir/rc/rc0/input3

Using a small tool from https://github.com/elopez/keybinder.git , binding keys from the Pine64 remote seems to work fine:

Code:

ubuntu@pine64:~/build/keybinder$ sudo ./keybinder /dev/input/event3
