Jarod has been focusing more on > getting the basic decoders to work. More specifically, getting the basic decoders to work with very specific hardware -- i.e., the mceusb transceivers, and primarily focused only on RC-6(A) decode w/the mceusb bundled remotes. That, and getting the lirc bridge driver working for both rx and tx. Basically, my plan of attack has been to get enough bits in place that we have a "reference implementation", if you will, of a driver that supports all in-kernel decoders and the lirc interface, complete with the ability to do tx[*], and from there, then we can really dig into the in-kernel decoders and/or work on porting additional drivers to ir-core. I'm more focused on porting additional drivers to ir-core at the moment than I am on testing all of the protocol decoders right now. [*] we still don't have an ir-core "native" tx method, but tx on the mceusb works quite well using the lirc bridge plugin -- Jarod Wilson jarod@redhat.com
