Hi,
Better late than never, atvtool v0.1 is released!
Atvtool is a utility program for controlling the fan and LED on
AppleTVs. It is based on my reverse engineering efforts of osputil.
The best description of the features is probably the usage output:
usage: atvtool [OPTION] ...
-h, --help show usage info
-v, --version show version info
-r, --reattach reattach kernel driver to IR device
-f, --fan-off turn fan off
-F, --fan-on turn fan on
-b, --brightness-low use low led brightness
-B, --brightness-high use high led brightness
-l, --led set led mode to one of:
0 off
1 amber
2 amber blink
3 white
4 white blink
5 both blink
Note: This still uses libusb, so it doesn't play nicely with kernel
drivers using the IR receiver (E.G. lirc with hiddev). I was hoping to
be able to do the communication to /dev/usb/hiddevX, but that seems a
bit more complicated than expected. Use the --reattach argument on
atvtool to give back the IR receiver to hiddev.
Also notice that hiddev will reinitialize the device when you do
so. This has the unfortunate side effect of turning of the led if it
is in mode 1 (amber) or 3 (white).
