aRTee Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Did you create the node at /dev/lirc/0? Did you give the parameters as required? modinfo lirc_serial_home gives this: filename: /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-10mdk/kernel/3rdparty/lirc/lirc_serial_home.ko parm: type:Hardware type (0 = home-brew, 1 = IRdeo, 2 = IRdeo Remote, 3 = AnimaX parm: io:I/O address base (0x3f8 or 0x2f8) parm: irq:Interrupt (4 or 3) parm: sense:Override autodetection of IR receiver circuit (0 = active high, 1 = active low ) parm: softcarrier:Software carrier (0 = off, 1 = on) author: Ralph Metzler, Trent Piepho, Ben Pfaff, Christoph Bartelmus description: Infra-red receiver driver for serial ports. license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.8.1-10mdk 686 gcc-3.4 depends: lirc_dev so I guess you have to tell it the hardware type: 0 (home brew)...? This is normally done as an argument with modprobe or insmod, or with an 'option' line in /etc/modprobe.conf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macrosoma Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 I'm not totally clear on how to pass parameters to modprobe, even through command line... I have created /dev/lirc and run mknod /dev/lirc/0 c 61 0 Just to make sure I did not miss something, what should have ben done before attemping to run: service lirc start except make sure /dev/lirc exists run mknod /dev/lirc/0 c 61 0 configure /etc/sysconfig/lircd : Did my settings look alright? Thanks agian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Sorry for my late reply, I lost my internet connection over the weekend, still don't have it back - doing this from work.. Look into giving options with modules when you modprobe them, like: modprobe lirc_serial_home type=0 or something, not sure about the syntax... check man modprobe for more info, or look around on the net (google for modprobe to see examples, or so). As soon as I have internet at home again I can help more, now I'm at work - no time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macrosoma Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I got fed up I changed tactics. I uninstalled the lirc package I got through urpmi lirc and instead downloaded lirc7 from the CVS on www.lirc.org and ran /.setup.sh, make, make install Copying the right remote control file to /etc/lircd.config and then typing lircd and then irw it all worked!! ...but, as soon as I reboot I can't get it working again. I try to use setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none and then modprobe lirc_serial, but that doesn't work. Thanks agin for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
