ir-ctl: add new tool for sending & receiving raw IR
Currently v4l-utils has no tooling provided for receiving and sending
raw IR using the lirc interface. Some of this can be done using various
tools from the user-space lirc package, but not everything is covered.
We want to be able to do the following:
- List all the features that a lirc device provides
- Set all possible receiving and sending parameters
- Send raw IR, formatted as a text file
- Record raw IR, with output in the same format as for sending
- Testbed for lirc drivers. Driver misbehaviour is reported
The need for this is not new. The manufacturer of the IguanaWorks IR
device have a similar tool which is IguanaIR specific:
http://www.iguanaworks.net/2012/igclient-examples/
Also RedRat3 provide a similar tools but this uses a signal database
for sending IR, and is redrat specific.
http://www.redrat.co.uk/software/redrat-linux-ir-tools/
Lirc provides a tool for reading raw IR but no method of sending it.
http://www.lirc.org/html/mode2.html
None of these provides full coverage of the basic raw IR lirc interface,
hence v4l-utils seems like logical place to provide this functionality. It
can be used as a tool for testing features of lirc drivers.
