 |
|
I've been playing with LIRC attempting to get my media center remote working and have failed so far. In particular, I LIRC does not create the /dev/lirc0 device for the USB transceiver.
The USB transceiver is recognized as Formosa Industrial Computing as below:
| Code: | robert@atomic ~ $ sudo lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 147a:e03a Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub |
This is the dmesg output when I plug it in:

My understanding from the LIRC article on the Gentoo Wiki is that all I should have to do is load the lirc_mceusb2 module and /dev/lirc0 should be created automatically. Nothing is created after loading the module.
There is nothing suspicious in the dmesg output either after loading the module:

I have tried the mceusb driver as well (by setting LIRC_DEVICES accordingly in my make.conf) and there is no difference. Finally, I noticed that there is an "all" option for LIRC_DEVICES, but lirc fails to compile with that set to "all":

I can't believe I didn't try this earlier, but upgrading from the stable lirc-0.8.5 to 0.8.6-r2 solved the problem. It also looks like the mceusb and mceusb2 drivers have been merged (as mceusb).
