NEW!! pureXbmc V2 - New firmware for CX-921a / EXOON Power Pro 2013

[walter77]

Cool

Do you have a list with all the Key Names ? (eg. KEY_HOME etc.)
I want to include every possible Key so that everything can be mapped

Here is a little very useful apk for testing remote mappings:
KeyTest.zip

Here's the program : rk_control.zip

I made it for the users so that they put in their remote information and
paste their output into this thread. When this is done you can copy their output
and paste it into your code

Guide :

1. You have to add an entry for every button on your
remote you want to be added. Click on "Add button" and
type in your information.

2. After every button has been set you simply click on "Output"
and type in your usercode and remotename. After that the program
will copy your output to the clipboard so you can post in inside this thread.

It is a runnable .jar, so java is required for it.
You can test it and report any errors

// EDIT : I did not include all keys yet. You can tell me which should be included

Sounds perfect. So this little nice program will run under android?
Do we need a special kernel to get the usercode for a new remote?

I think most used keys are:

key 28 ENTER
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 158 BACK
key 139 MENU
key 217 SEARCH
key 232 DPAD_CENTER
key 108 DPAD_DOWN
key 103 DPAD_UP
key 102 HOME
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
key 115 VOLUME_UP
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
key 143 NOTIFICATION WAKE
key 113 VOLUME_MUTE
key 388 TV_KEYMOUSE_MODE_SWITCH
key 412 TV_MEDIA_MULT_BACKWARD
key 407 TV_MEDIA_MULT_FORWARD
key 58 TV_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
key 64 TV_MEDIA_PLAY
key 65 TV_MEDIA_PAUSE
key 66 TV_MEDIA_STOP
key 67 TV_MEDIA_REWIND

No, it is only for desktop and you need Java to run it.

It does not compile the kernel or modify it, it does only create
the lines you have to put in your source. People who want their
remotes to work can use this program and post their output in here
so that you can copy it into your source and don't have to type in everything.

It does run on every desktop pc with java installed.

EDIT : yes, the test kernels for getting usercode and button codes are still needed :/

EDIT2: The output which is copied into clipboard looks like this :

Table :

static struct rkxx_remote_key_table remote_key_table_testremote[] = {
    {0xf0 , KEY_PLAYPAUSE},
    {0xfa , KEY_HOME},
    {0xc1 , KEY_YELLOW},
    {0xa3 , KEY_RED},
    {0xb5 , KEY_VIDEO_NEXT},
};

Remote entry :

{
.usercode = 0xe32,
.nbuttons = 5,
.key_table = &remote_key_table_testremote[0],
},

EDIT 3 :

I think I found a way how to add remotes without compiling test kernels.

static int  remotectl_init(void)   {     printk(KERN_INFO "++++++++remotectl_init\n");
       // Read in file from root here and populate
       // struct with data from file<----
    return platform_driver_register(&remotectl_device_driver);   }

        case RMC_USERCODE:         {             ddata->scanData <<= 1;             ddata->count ++;              if ((TIME_BIT1_MIN < ddata->period) && (ddata->period < TIME_BIT1_MAX)){                 ddata->scanData |= 0x01;             }              if (ddata->count == 0x10){//16 bit user code
                  // Only print user code if value in local file
                  // is set to 1 (eg. if(read_usercode)... )               
 // printk("u=0x%x\n",((ddata->scanData)&0xFFFF));                 if (remotectl_keybdNum_lookup(ddata)){                     ddata->state = RMC_GETDATA;                     ddata->scanData = 0;                     ddata->count = 0;                 }else{                //user code error                     ddata->state = RMC_PRELOAD;                 }             }         }

        case RMC_GETDATA:         {             ddata->count ++;             ddata->scanData <<= 1;                         if ((TIME_BIT1_MIN < ddata->period) && (ddata->period < TIME_BIT1_MAX)){                 ddata->scanData |= 0x01;             }                        if (ddata->count == 0x10){
                  // The same here : only print button codes if value
                  // in local file is set to 1 (eg. if(read_buttoncode) ...)              
  // printk(KERN_ERR "d=%x\n",(ddata->scanData&0xFFFF));
              ...

Local file could look like this :

read_usercode=1
read_buttoncode=1

File for reading in Buttons could look like this :

num_buttons = 3
{0xf0,KEY_POWER}
{0xb2,KEY_HOME}
{0xa9,KEY_MUTE}

I don't think I could do that, but it is an idea

[rebootix]

Ok i tried something...

static void read_custom_remote(){

    // Open rk_custom.remote from sdcard root
    FILE *rk_remote = fopen("/sdcard/rk_custom.remote","r");
    // If file could not be opened
    if(rk_remote != NULL){

        // Every line from file will be stored in this buffer
        char buffer[32];

        // Debug variables
        if(fgets(buffer,32,rk_remote) != NULL){
            if(buffer[15] == '1') print_usercode = 1;
        }

        if(fgets(buffer,32,rk_remote) != NULL){
            if(buffer[17] == '1') print_buttoncode = 1;
        }

        // Read usercode from file
        if(fgets(buffer,32,rk_remote) != NULL){
            char usercode_string[] = { buffer[9] , buffer[10], buffer[11], buffer[12] };
            int usercode = atoi(usercode_string);
            remotectl_button[2].usercode = usercode;
        }

        // Check if read_table is = 1
        int read_table = 0;
        if(fgets(buffer,32,rk_remote) != NULL){
            if(buffer[11] == '1') read_table = 1;
        }

        // Read in button mapping from file
        // only if file says so
        if(read_table){

            int table_index = 0;
            int button_count = 0;

            //While the next line is present
            while(fgets(buffer,32,rk_remote) != NULL){

                // Get scancode from file
                char scancode_string[] = {buffer[1] , buffer[2], buffer[3]};
                int scancode = atoi(scancode_string);

                // Get keycode from file
                char keycode_string[] = {buffer[5] , buffer[6] , buffer[7]};
                int keycode = atoi(keycode_string);

                // Store scan- and keycode in custom remotes array
                remote_key_table_custom[table_index].scanCode = scancode;
                remote_key_table_custom[table_index].keyCode = keycode;
                table_index++;
                button_count++;

            }
            // Set the remotes number of buttons
            remotectl_button[2].nbuttons = button_count;
        }

    } else {
        printk("ERROR : /sdcard/rk_custom.remote does not exist !");
    }
    
    fclose(rk_remote);
}

i call this method here :

static int  remotectl_init(void)
{
    printk(KERN_INFO "++++++++remotectl_init\n");
    read_custom_remote();
    return platform_driver_register(&remotectl_device_driver);
}

and created a new entry inside remotectl_button[] :

    {
       .usercode = 0,
       .nbuttons =  0,
       .key_table = &remote_key_table_custom[0],
    },

and added these to the file :

int print_usercode = 0;
int print_buttoncode = 0;
static struct rkxx_remote_key_table remote_key_table_custom[64] = { };

The rk_custom.remote hast to be placed in root of sdcard and MUST!!! look like this :

print_usercode=1
print_buttoncode=1
usercode=0000
read_table=0
{255,136}
{033,001}
{123,029}

Scan and Keycodes have to be converted to integers and MUST be 3 digits long.
Usercode has to be converted to integer, too, and MUST be 4 digits long.

I can't try it myself because i don't want do download the whole source (3.4 GB) and I
can't flash my tv box because I accidentaly deleted Windows during upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04.

Would be nice if you could try it Walter

Small Guide :

1. Set : print_usercode=1 , print_buttoncode=0 , usercode=0000, read_table=0
2. Place rk_custom.remote inside root of sdcard
3. Reboot TV-Box
4. Go to terminal, press any button and execute dmesg
5. Change usercode inside rk_custom.remote to the one the terminal gave you
6. Set : print_usercode=0, print_buttoncode=1, usercode=yourusercode, readtable=0
7. Reboot TV-Box
8. Go to terminal, press any button and execute dmesg
9. Write down which button you pressed and the buttoncode you got from terminal
10. Tricky part : Convert all hex values to integers and put them inside rk_custom.remote
11. USE THE EXACT SAME LAYOUT I PROVIDED OR IT WON'T WORK
12. Set : print_usercode=0, print_buttoncode=0, usercode=yourusercode, readtable=1
13. Reboot TV-Box
14. Your Remote should be working now according to your mapping

//EDIT

forgot to mention this :

                // Only print usercode if local file says so
               if(print_usercode) printk("u=0x%x\n",((ddata->scanData)&0xFFFF));

and

                // Only print buttoncode if local file says so
               if(print_buttoncode) printk(KERN_ERR "d=%x\n",(ddata->scanData&0xFFFF))

The last kernel works perfect for my box expect the ethernet port

Thank you for your great work! The last kernel works perfect for my box expect the ethernet port.
It can't get ip address from my router. Even I set up the static ip it still doesn't work.
Wireless connection works well.
I am not sure my box's edition. It should be CX-921.
Can you take a look this issue if you have time.
Or I just wait for your 4.4 rom.

Thanks for your feedback. Can you please send me dmesg with lan on and off?
There is a lot of different hardware on the market, so it's very difficult. Have you installed any custom rom that works on your box? UT1, K-R42, T-R42 roms should sometimes work.

Do you would like to have pureXbmc KK Edition ;-)

I will try different roms later. Also I am definitely looking forward to test the KK edition.

[rebootix]

Hey Walter,

Did you already try my approach on adding remotes through local file ?
I run the code using Eclipse and get no errors on Ubuntu 14.04, but i am not sure if
fopen() will work on android, because of permissions.

If it works i would make another small programm, which creates a rk_custom.remote.
It would read the users hex values, convert them to integers and put them into the file.

[rebootix]

Again Me...

So I tried nearly everything getting the kernel to read from a file at boot (which is, as i have learned,
not a good idea). fopen is not availabe at kernel level, so I had to search for an altenative.
Found filp_open() http://dislab.hufs.ac.kr/lab/Kernel%...ose_version%29


Everytime i try to read from sdcard or from root filesystem the box won't start up.
Only 4 penguins in a bootloop... Maybe the filesystem isn't mounted at the moment I try to acces it.

Anyway I read my remotes user and buttoncodes and wanted to ask if you could put it inside your
kernel and compile a version for my remote.

Here's the code ready for copy&paste

static struct rkxx_remote_key_table remote_key_table_mele[] = {
    {0xEA, KEY_POWER},
};

    { 
       .usercode = 0xf9, 
       .nbuttons =  1, 
       .key_table = &remote_key_table_mele[0], 
    },

Thank you

Please test kernel here:
kernel_walter77_cx921a_1080p_v25c_LCD1_cpu1608_gpu 600h_ddr720_vsync.zip

Perhaps we can binary patch a kernel with new remote driver like the overclocking perl scripts do?

[rebootix]

Remote debug kernel

It's me again with some good news

I added a proc interface to the remotes driver so that any user can find out his user- and buttoncode
without flashing 2 seperate kernels.

Here it is : remote_debug_kernel.img.zip

Guide :

1. Flash the kernel and restart your device
2. Open Terminal and type in

   su

3. Type in

   echo 1 > /proc/print_usercode

4. Press any button on your remote and type in

   dmesg

5. The last line should show your usercode

   u=yourusercode

6. Type in

   echo 0 > /proc/print_usercode

7. Type in

   echo yourusercode > /proc/remote_id

8. Type in

   echo 1 > /proc/print_buttoncode

9. Press any button on your remote and type in

   dmesg

10. The last line should show your buttoncode

    d=yourbuttoncode

11. Repeat step 9 as many times as you have to

Please test and report

Tried it but the button doesn't work :/
When i compile it with stock kernel it does... maybe there are 2 entrys with usercode 0xf9 ?

//EDIT

Tried it again with stock kernel and now it doesn't work suddenly...
my output was u=0xf9 and d=ea15. It worked yesterday

//EDIT 2

Flashed the whole system and now it works
Thank you for your work

Cool, thanks for the info.
I will try your kernel in the next days but it sounds very cool!
Can anyone else here test rebootix kernel please?

One more question

When i put the box to sleep while using xbmc the clock speed stays at 1,2 Ghz (Performance Statistics show 72 % 1.2 Ghz over night). Without XBMC or any other app running, the box clocks down to 300 Mhz and stays there as long it is in sleep mode. Is this normal behaviour or do we need to search for a fix ?
