- keyboard full support, yealink.ko / input event API
- LCD full support, yealink.ko / sysfs API
- LED full support, yealink.ko / sysfs API

For vendor documentation see http://www.yealink.com
1. Compilation (stand alone version)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently only kernel 2.6.x.y versions are supported.
In order to build the yealink.ko module do:
make
If you encounter problems please check if in the MAKE_OPTS variable in
the Makefile is pointing to the location where your kernel sources
are located, default /usr/src/linux.
2. keyboard features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The current mapping in the kernel is provided by the map_p1k_to_key
function:
Physical USB-P1K button layout input events
up up
IN OUT left, right
down down
pickup C hangup enter, backspace, escape
1 2 3 1, 2, 3
4 5 6 4, 5, 6,
7 8 9 7, 8, 9,
* 0 # *, 0, #,
The "up" and "down" keys, are symbolised by arrows on the button.
The "pickup" and "hangup" keys are symbolised by a green and red phone
on the button.
3. LCD features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The LCD is divided and organised as a 3 line display:
|[] [][] [][] [][] in |[][]
|[] M [][] D [][] : [][] out |[][]
store
NEW REP SU MO TU WE TH FR SA
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
Line 1 Format (see below) : 18.e8.M8.88...188
Icon names : M D : IN OUT STORE
Line 2 Format : .........
Icon name : NEW REP SU MO TU WE TH FR SA
Line 3 Format : 888888888888
Format description:
From a user space perspective the world is seperated in "digits" and "icons".
A digit can have a character set, an icon can only be ON or OFF.
Format specifier
'8' : Generic 7 segment digit with individual addressable segments
Reduced capabillity 7 segm digit, when segments are hard wired together.
'1' : 2 segments digit only able to produce a 1.
'e' : Most significant day of the month digit,
able to produce at least 1 2 3.
'M' : Most significant minute digit,
able to produce at least 0 1 2 3 4 5.
Icons or pictograms:
'.' : For example like AM, PM, SU, a 'dot' .. or other single segment
elements.
4. Driver usage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For userland the following interfaces are available using the sysfs interface:
/sys/.../
line1 Read/Write, lcd line1
line2 Read/Write, lcd line2
line3 Read/Write, lcd line3
get_icons Read, returns a set of available icons.
hide_icon Write, hide the element by writing the icon name.
show_icon Write, display the element by writing the icon name.
map_seg7 Read/Write, the 7 segments char set, common for all
yealink phones. (see map_to_7segment.h)
ringtone Write, upload binary representation of a ringtone,
see yealink.c. status EXPERIMENTAL due to potential
races between async. and sync usb calls.
4.1 lineX
~~~~~~~~~
Reading /sys/../lineX will return the format string with its current value:
Example:
cat ./line3
888888888888
Linux Rocks!
Writing to /sys/../lineX will set the coresponding LCD line.
- Excess characters are ignored.
- If less characters are written than allowed, the remaining digits are
unchanged.
- The tab '\t'and '\n' char does not overwrite the original content.
- Writing a space to an icon will always hide its content.
Example:
date +"%m.%e.%k:%M" | sed 's/^0/ /' > ./line1
Will update the LCD with the current date & time.
4.2 get_icons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reading will return all available icon names and its current settings:
cat ./get_icons
on M
on D
on :
IN
OUT
STORE
NEW
REP
SU
MO
TU
WE
TH
FR
SA
LED
DIALTONE
RINGTONE
4.3 show/hide icons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Writing to these files will update the state of the icon.
Only one icon at a time can be updated.
If an icon is also on a ./lineX the corresponding value is
updated with the first letter of the icon.
Example - light up the store icon:
echo -n "STORE" > ./show_icon
cat ./line1
18.e8.M8.88...188
S
Example - sound the ringtone for 10 seconds:
echo -n RINGTONE > /sys/..../show_icon
sleep 10
echo -n RINGTONE > /sys/..../hide_icon
5. Sound features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sound is supported by the ALSA driver: snd_usb_audio
One 16-bit channel with sample and playback rates of 8000 Hz is the practical
limit of the device.
Example - recording test:
arecord -v -d 10 -r 8000 -f S16_LE -t wav foobar.wav
Example - playback test:
aplay foobar.wav
