-The Kenwood KCA-R6A remote control generates a sequence like the following:
-
-Go low for approx 16T (Around 9000us)
-Go high for approx 8T (Around 4000us)
-Go low for less than 2T (Around 750us)
-
-For each of the 32 bits
-  Go high for more than 2T (Around 1500us) == 1
-  Go high for less than T (Around 400us) == 0
-  Go low for less than 2T (Around 750us)
-
-Rather than repeat a signal when the button is held down certain buttons
-generate the following code to indicate repetition.
-
-Go low for approx 16T
-Go high for approx 4T
-Go low for less than 2T
-
-(By removing the <2T from the start of the sequence and placing at the end
- it can be considered a stop bit but I found it easier to deal with it at
- the start).
-
-The 32 bits are encoded as XxYy where x and y are the actual data values
-while X and Y are the logical inverses of the associated data values. Using 
-LSB first yields sensible codes for the numbers.
-
-All codes are of the form b9xx
-
-The numeric keys generate the code 0x where x is the number pressed.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Gmail (Web GUI)
+
+If you just have to use Gmail to send patches, it CAN be made to work.  It
+requires a bit of external help, though.
+
+The first problem is that Gmail converts tabs to spaces.  This will
+totally break your patches.  To prevent this, you have to use a different
+editor.  There is a firefox extension called "ViewSourceWith"
+(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/394) which allows you to
+edit any text box in the editor of your choice.  Configure it to launch
+your favorite editor.  When you want to send a patch, use this technique.
+Once you have crafted your messsage + patch, save and exit the editor,
+which should reload the Gmail edit box.  GMAIL WILL PRESERVE THE TABS.
+Hoorah.  Apparently you can cut-n-paste literal tabs, but Gmail will
+convert those to spaces upon sending!
+
+The second problem is that Gmail converts tabs to spaces on replies.  If
+you reply to a patch, don't expect to be able to apply it as a patch.
+
+The last problem is that Gmail will base64-encode any message that has a
+non-ASCII character.  That includes things like European names.  Be aware.
+
+Gmail is not convenient for lkml patches, but CAN be made to work.

+hardware versions unimaginatively called version 1 and version 2. Version 1
+is found in "older" laptops and uses 4 bytes per packet. Version 2 seems to
+be introduced with the EeePC and uses 6 bytes per packet.
+
+The driver tries to support both hardware versions and should be compatible
+with the Xorg Synaptics touchpad driver and its graphical configuration
+utilities.
+
+Additionally the operation of the touchpad can be altered by adjusting the
+contents of some of its internal registers. These registers are represented
+by the driver as sysfs entries under /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio?
+that can be read from and written to.
+
+Currently only the registers for hardware version 1 are somewhat understood.
+Hardware version 2 seems to use some of the same registers but it is not
+known whether the bits in the registers represent the same thing or might
+have changed their meaning.
+
+On top of that, some register settings have effect only when the touchpad is
+in relative mode and not in absolute mode. As the Linux Elantech touchpad
+driver always puts the hardware into absolute mode not all information
+mentioned below can be used immediately. But because there is no freely
+available Elantech documentation the information is provided here anyway for
+completeness sake.

+2. Extra knobs
+   ~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver provides two extra knobs under
+/sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio? for the user.
+
+* debug
+
+   Turn different levels of debugging ON or OFF.
+
+   By echoing "0" to this file all debugging will be turned OFF.
+
+   Currently a value of "1" will turn on some basic debugging and a value of
+   "2" will turn on packet debugging. For hardware version 1 the default is
+   OFF. For version 2 the default is "1".
+
+   Turning packet debugging on will make the driver dump every packet
+   received to the syslog before processing it. Be warned that this can
+   generate quite a lot of data!
+
+* paritycheck
+
+   Turns parity checking ON or OFF.
+
+   By echoing "0" to this file parity checking will be turned OFF. Any
+   non-zero value will turn it ON. For hardware version 1 the default is ON.
+   For version 2 the default it is OFF.
+
+   Hardware version 1 provides basic data integrity verification by
+   calculating a parity bit for the last 3 bytes of each packet. The driver
+   can check these bits and reject any packet that appears corrupted. Using
+   this knob you can bypass that check.
+
+   It is not known yet whether hardware version 2 provides the same parity
+   bits. Hence checking is disabled by default. Currently even turning it on
+   will do nothing.

+
+3.1 Registers
+    ~~~~~~~~~
+
+By echoing a hexadecimal value to a register it contents can be altered.

+
+         E: 1 = enable smart edges unconditionally
+         S: 1 = enable smart edges only when dragging
+         A: 1 = absolute mode (needs 4 byte packets, see reg_11)

+
+         P: 1 = enable parity checking for relative mode
+         F: 1 = enable native 4 byte packet mode
+         V: 1 = enable vertical scroll area
+         H: 1 = enable horizontal scroll area
+
+* reg_20
+
+         single finger width?
+
+* reg_21
+
+         scroll area width (small: 0x40 ... wide: 0xff)
+
+* reg_22
+
+         drag lock time out (short: 0x14 ... long: 0xfe;
+                             0xff = tap again to release)
+
+* reg_23
+
+         tap make timeout?
+
+* reg_24
+
+         tap release timeout?
+
+* reg_25

+The io_mapping functions in linux/io-mapping.h provide an abstraction for
+efficiently mapping small regions of an I/O device to the CPU. The initial
+usage is to support the large graphics aperture on 32-bit processors where
+ioremap_wc cannot be used to statically map the entire aperture to the CPU
+as it would consume too much of the kernel address space.
+
+A mapping object is created during driver initialization using
+
+        struct io_mapping *io_mapping_create_wc(unsigned long base,
+                                                unsigned long size)
+
+                'base' is the bus address of the region to be made
+                mappable, while 'size' indicates how large a mapping region to
+                enable. Both are in bytes.
+
+                This _wc variant provides a mapping which may only be used
+                with the io_mapping_map_atomic_wc or io_mapping_map_wc.
+
+With this mapping object, individual pages can be mapped either atomically
+or not, depending on the necessary scheduling environment. Of course, atomic
+maps are more efficient:
+
+        void *io_mapping_map_atomic_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping,
+                                       unsigned long offset)
+
+                'offset' is the offset within the defined mapping region.
+                Accessing addresses beyond the region specified in the
+                creation function yields undefined results. Using an offset
+                which is not page aligned yields an undefined result. The
+                return value points to a single page in CPU address space.
+
+                This _wc variant returns a write-combining map to the
+                page and may only be used with mappings created by
+                io_mapping_create_wc
+
+                Note that the task may not sleep while holding this page
+                mapped.
+
+        void io_mapping_unmap_atomic(void *vaddr)
+
+                'vaddr' must be the the value returned by the last
+                io_mapping_map_atomic_wc call. This unmaps the specified
+                page and allows the task to sleep once again.
+
+If you need to sleep while holding the lock, you can use the non-atomic
+variant, although they may be significantly slower.
+
+        void *io_mapping_map_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping,
+                                unsigned long offset)
+
+                This works like io_mapping_map_atomic_wc except it allows
+                the task to sleep while holding the page mapped.
+
+        void io_mapping_unmap(void *vaddr)
+
+                This works like io_mapping_unmap_atomic, except it is used
+                for pages mapped with io_mapping_map_wc.
+
+At driver close time, the io_mapping object must be freed:
+
+        void io_mapping_free(struct io_mapping *mapping)
+
+Current Implementation:
+
+The initial implementation of these functions uses existing mapping
+mechanisms and so provides only an abstraction layer and no new
+functionality.
+
+On 64-bit processors, io_mapping_create_wc calls ioremap_wc for the whole
+range, creating a permanent kernel-visible mapping to the resource. The
+map_atomic and map functions add the requested offset to the base of the
+virtual address returned by ioremap_wc.
+
+On 32-bit processors with HIGHMEM defined, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc uses
+kmap_atomic_pfn to map the specified page in an atomic fashion;
+kmap_atomic_pfn isn't really supposed to be used with device pages, but it
+provides an efficient mapping for this usage.
+
+On 32-bit processors without HIGHMEM defined, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc and
+io_mapping_map_wc both use ioremap_wc, a terribly inefficient function which
+performs an IPI to inform all processors about the new mapping. This results
+in a significant performance penalty.

+Driver for USB radios for the Silicon Labs Si470x FM Radio Receivers
+
+Copyright (c) 2008 Tobias Lorenz <tobias.lorenz@gmx.net>
+
+
+Information from Silicon Labs
+=============================
+Silicon Laboratories is the manufacturer of the radio ICs, that nowadays are the
+most often used radio receivers in cell phones. Usually they are connected with
+I2C. But SiLabs also provides a reference design, which integrates this IC,
+together with a small microcontroller C8051F321, to form a USB radio.
+Part of this reference design is also a radio application in binary and source
+code. The software also contains an automatic firmware upgrade to the most
+current version. Information on these can be downloaded here:
+http://www.silabs.com/usbradio
+
+
+Supported ICs
+=============
+The following ICs have a very similar register set, so that they are or will be
+supported somewhen by the driver:
+- Si4700: FM radio receiver
+- Si4701: FM radio receiver, RDS Support
+- Si4702: FM radio receiver
+- Si4703: FM radio receiver, RDS Support
+- Si4704: FM radio receiver, no external antenna required
+- Si4705: FM radio receiver, no external antenna required, RDS support, Dig I/O
+- Si4706: Enhanced FM RDS/TMC radio receiver, no external antenna required, RDS
+          Support
+- Si4707: Dedicated weather band radio receiver with SAME decoder, RDS Support
+- Si4708: Smallest FM receivers
+- Si4709: Smallest FM receivers, RDS Support
+More information on these can be downloaded here:
+http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBFMRadioRD.aspx
+
+
+Supported USB devices
+=====================
+Currently the following USB radios (vendor:product) with the Silicon Labs si470x
+chips are known to work:
+- 10c4:818a: Silicon Labs USB FM Radio Reference Design
+- 06e1:a155: ADS/Tech FM Radio Receiver (formerly Instant FM Music) (RDX-155-EF)
+- 1b80:d700: KWorld USB FM Radio SnapMusic Mobile 700 (FM700)
+
+
+Software
+========
+Testing is usually done with most application under Debian/testing:
+- fmtools - Utility for managing FM tuner cards
+- gnomeradio - FM-radio tuner for the GNOME desktop
+- gradio - GTK FM radio tuner
+- kradio - Comfortable Radio Application for KDE
+- radio - ncurses-based radio application
+
+There is also a library libv4l, which can be used. It's going to have a function
+for frequency seeking, either by using hardware functionality as in radio-si470x
+or by implementing a function as we currently have in every of the mentioned
+programs. Somewhen the radio programs should make use of libv4l.
+
+For processing RDS information, there is a project ongoing at:

+Audio Listing
+=============
+USB Audio is provided by the ALSA snd_usb_audio module. It is recommended to
+also select SND_USB_AUDIO, as this is required to get sound from the radio. For
+listing you have to redirect the sound, for example using one of the following
+commands.
+
+If you just want to test audio (very poor quality):
+cat /dev/dsp1 > /dev/dsp
+
+If you use OSS try:
+sox -2 --endian little -r 96000 -t oss /dev/dsp1 -t oss /dev/dsp
+
+If you use arts try:
+arecord -D hw:1,0 -r96000 -c2 -f S16_LE | artsdsp aplay -B -
+
+
+Module Parameters
+=================
+After loading the module, you still have access to some of them in the sysfs
+mount under /sys/module/radio_si470x/parameters. The contents of read-only files
+(0444) are not updated, even if space, band and de are changed using private
+video controls. The others are runtime changeable.
+
+
+Errors
+======
+Increase tune_timeout, if you often get -EIO errors.
+
+When timed out or band limit is reached, hw_freq_seek returns -EAGAIN.
+
+If you get any errors from snd_usb_audio, please report them to the ALSA people.
+
+
+Open Issues
+===========
+V4L minor device allocation and parameter setting is not perfect. A solution is
+currently under discussion.
+
+There is an USB interface for downloading/uploading new firmware images. Support
+for it can be implemented using the request_firmware interface.
+
+There is a RDS interrupt mode. The driver is already using the same interface
+for polling RDS information, but is currently not using the interrupt mode.
+
+There is a LED interface, which can be used to override the LED control
+programmed in the firmware. This can be made available using the LED support
+functions in the kernel.
