How To Set a custom `IR CODE` To Boot The System

Get the IR CODE of the remote control button

Turn on the kernel debugging switch

  • Switch to root user
khadas@Khadas:~$ su
Password:
root@Khadas:/home/khadas#
  • Set the kernel print information level
root@Khadas:/home/khadas# echo 7 7 1 7 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
  • Turn on debugging information printing switch
root@Khadas:/home/khadas# echo 1 > /sys/class/remote/amremote/debug_enable

Print the IR CODE of the remote control buttons

Here is an example of the Khadas remote control, press the OK button of the remote control, you can see the button information is printed out to terminal

[  723.513680@1] meson-remote c8100580.rc: framecode=0xf807ff00
[  723.513820@1] meson-remote c8100580.rc: receive scancode=0x7
[  723.519407@1] meson-remote c8100580.rc: keypressed=0x0
[  723.524531@1] meson-remote c8100580.rc: report key!!
[  723.604587@1] meson-remote c8100580.rc: ir controller busy flag = 0
[  723.605357@1] meson-remote c8100580.rc: keyup!!

Among them, framecode=0xf807ff00 is the key value we need

Custom setting IR CODE

Read IR CODE

  • read customer1
kvim#kbi ircode customer1 r
ircode1: 0xf807ff00
