lirc

Post by waxling »

Hi All,

is there anyone here who has managed to compile and get working a version of lirc that works with the lirc_xir module and with the xbox DVD remote?

After building a custom kernel (2.4.28, with latest xbox kernel patches from cvs) , I've managed to compile versions with both lirc 0.6.6 and 0.7 however the 0.7 module throws unresolved symbol errors (probably because the module was written to work with 0.6.6).

The 0.6.6 version loads without any errors, however seems to do nothing. Lirc loads, irw attaches, however no signals are recorded.

Thanks.

Reference: http://www.xbox-linux.org/docs/howtolirc_xir.htm

(BTW, top work with getting gentoo onto the xbox shallax)

... I forgot to mention, I'm using 3.1 home, I've run magic, and everything works (sound, tvout etc...) just not lirc. I've even got mythtv running (although I couldn't get it to compile on the xbox :( I had to copy it from another, working gentoo installation )

Along the same lines

I'm trying to get my remote working as well. I'm running 1.4 pro and I can run lircd just fine, but when I run irw it crashes lircd. lircd seems to be listening for a serial signal, and I have the usb_xboxir module installed. Any clues?

If you're using the gentoo emerged version, forget it, it probably will never work because its almost certainly been compiled with the incorrect modules/drivers. On top of that the headers required to compile the xir module are missing once installed.

Try building your own from source and follow the guide at http://www.xbox-linux.org/docs/howtolirc_xir.htm

Hopefully you get a better result.

been away for a while, and I've noticed that there are a few similar posts, but , has anyone actually managed to get lirc working with pro and the MS-xbox DVD remote? As stated previously, I can make it compile (custom kernel including the correct xbox patches/models, and some re-arranging of headers), it just doesn't work.

I can report however that lirc works fine with a serial IR remote (sigma) and a targus serial/USB adapter :)

Download lirc-0.6.6 configure/ compile it...

./configure
make
make install
cd ./drivers/lirc-dev
make
make install

Download lirc_xir
make
make install

That should be it.

I've tried, and while it all compiles up, it doesn't seem to work (insmod and everything works, just nothing is recieved by lirc/irw).

What I'm actually after is any kind of 1st hand report of having this work. I haven't found one yet.

I'm going to try a complete re-install (I will backup my working rootfs file with working mythtv first :) ) to see if I get any further. Thanks.

If the module loads, its working.. run irw.. or xirw (i forget which it is) and see if that scrolls junk when pressing a remote control button.

What you need to do after is make your own lircd.conf file for your programs.

I found lirc-0.6.6 but I can't find the lirc_xir source. Where is this kept at?

Also, when you run configure from within lirc-0.6.6/ it brings up a TUI configure screen. Do I just accept all the defaults, or what kind of driver configuration etc. do I need to choose?

Thanks,

I'm also having a problem with the DVD rmote.

I''m using kernel 2.6.12.5, lirc-0.7.0-r1, and the xboxusb driver.

dmesg and /var/log/messages look good, however irw shows no output.

I had to manually create a character device. I hacked it into /etc/init.d/lircd but there's probably a better place for it:

        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd -- ${LIRCD_OPTS}
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping lircd"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd
        eend $?
}

end remote
and neither makes any difference.

Please ignore all the hda errors. There's some sort of auto probing going on and I haven't bothered to turn it off yet.

Please let me know if you have any ideas what else I need to do to get the DVD remote to work. Getting the Remote to work is the final piece of the puzzle... apart from getting the blink script working. It's so close to being completed I'm sure there's something small which I've missed.

Thanks!

So, ben_dash, I noticed that you're using a different version of lirc than shallax recommends. Just curoius why. Does the version you have include lirc_xir, or did you get it from somewhere else?

Thanks,

Hmmm , good point.

Should I be using xir instead of xboxusb?

It seems that when I google for this I find a million and one contradictory solutions, some use xir, some use xboxusb, and some use atiusb. I expect that things have evolved over time, however, google doesn't really help me to see results in a time relevant context. I'm using a 2.6 kernel.

I'm going to try to switch out my lircd.conf. The annoying thing is that I am not seeing any errors in /var/log/messages so it's almost impossible to see what the problem may be. I expect that there is some additional debugging info which I could turn on.

Another question. Did/do you have any DVD remote functionality without irc on your gentoox?

For some reason, with ircd not running etc., I can do about half of the things I want to do with the remote ... basically just enough to hang myself. In Mythtv I can maneuver the menu system, and ask it to play a video that mythtv has recorded, fast forward/backward through the show. However, the back/escape button won't work, so sometimes I can get myself into a spot that I can't get out of without rebooting the system. I can't quit a show, I have to fastforward to the end.

Also, sometimes I push a button and nothing happens, or I push it and it behaves as if I've pushed it twice ... getting me into one of those "can't backout" scenarios

I'm totally baffled as to why I get ~60% functionality out of the remote with no irc. I had all this working under a xebian load, but when I upgraded mythtv I decided to try gentoox so I could get native code with better performance. I may have to go back to xebian. It was slower, but at least everything worked.

Thanks,

No, I get nothing from the remote at all. In the bios screens I can select various options using the remote but I get nothing once linux has booted.

I'm going to see if the lirc board have any ideas.

Thanks
