Format of the Commands

The commands are in the format:

       16 Bits          8 Bits              16 Bits           8 Bits
+-------------------+----------------+----------------------+-----------+
| Manufacturer Code | Device         |    Function Code     | Check sum |
+-------------------+----------------+----------------------+-----------+
 lsb                 lsb              lsb                    lsb

The Checksum is a simple Xor of the Device and Function Code Bytes

The msb/lsb are the opposite way around to 'normal' so the codes must be modified (flipped) for the lirc configuration files.

Panasonic Viera Worked Example

The Device code for Panasonic is an 8-bit number.
The Function Code is made up of an 8-bit sub device and an 8-bit original button code

       16 Bits          8 Bits          8 Bits     8 Bits     8 Bits
+-------------------+----------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| Manufacturer Code | Device         | Sub Dev  |    OBC    | Check sum |
+-------------------+----------------+----------+-----------+-----------+

The Manufacturer code for the panasonic TV is 144, and the device ID is 128

    0x2002 -> 0010 0000 0000 0010
                      <--> 
              0100 0000 0000 0100 -> 0x4004

    0x80   ->  1000 0000
                 <-->
               0000 0001  -> 0x01

So the Pre-Data in the lirc configuration file is 0x400401


The 'Extended On' command command for device 128 is subdevice 0, OBC 62

    0x00   ->  0000 0000
                 <-->

               0000 0000  -> 0x00

    0x3E   ->  0011 1110
    62(dec)      <-->

               0111 1100  -> 0x7C   

So the Function Code for this command ix 0x007C

The Checksum is 0x01 xor 0x00 xor 0x7C -> 0x7D

So the code for 'Extended On' in the lirc configuration file is 0x007C7D

Denon RC1214 Worked Example

The Device Code in Denon Terminology is made of a nybble of zeroes, and a 4-bit Genre 1
The Function Code in Denon Terminology is made of a 4-bit Genre 2 and a 12-bit Data code

       16 Bits                4 Bits    4 Bits     12 Bits       8 Bits
+-------------------+------+----------+--------+-------------+-----------+
| Manufacturer Code | 0000 |  Genre1  | Genre2 |    Data     | Check sum |
+-------------------+------+----------+--------+-------------+-----------+

The Manufacturer Code for the RC1214 remote is: 0x3254, and all commands have a Genre1 of 5, but the numbers are stored lsb first, so they need flipping around:

    0x3254 -> 0011 0010 0101 0100
                      <--> 
              0010 1010 0100 1100 -> 0x2A4C

    0x5   ->  0101
              <-->
              1010  -> 0xA

So the Pre-Data in the lirc configuration file is 0x2A4C0A

The Genre2 code and data codes for the Extended 'On' command are 0x01 and 0x401 respectively, but need msb/lsb flipping:

    0x1  -> 0001
            <--> 
            1000 -> 0x8

    0x401-> 0100 0000 0001
                 <-->
            1000 0000 0010 -> 0x802

So the Function Code for this command is 0x8802

The Checksum is 0x0A xor 0x88 xor 0x02 -> 0x80

So the code for 'Extended On' in the lirc configuration file is 0x880280
