 |
|
Hi, everybody..
I cannot get lirc to work with PCTV Remote connected on serial port on 64 multilib system.
I try it with gentoo-sources-2.6.36-r5, but lirc.org say it bad idea:
| Quote: | lirc-0.8.7 has been tested with kernel versions up to 2.6.35.
...
From 2.6.36 on all LIRC kernel drivers are already included in the kernel. There has been a slight interface change in the LIRC ioctls that will affect 64-bit kernels. We're already working on a 0.9.0 release which is supposed to be fully functional with the in-kernel drivers. In the meanwhile you should use a 0.9.0-pre snapshot.
|
I also tried 2.6.32 but it did not work too, and now I use 2.6.35 kernel.
On this forum have some good themes about this hardware (first,second,third), but this did not help me 
May be because the posts are very old, or something I did not understand.
Now I have:
kernel config
| Code: | $ dmesg | grep -i tty
[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[ 0.536232] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[ 0.557231] 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[ 2.090490] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized
|
| Code: | $ dmesg | grep -i lirc gives nothing (???)
|
| Code: | $ cat /etc/conf.d/lircd
# for devices with lirc-kernel-module
LIRCD_OPTS="-d /dev/ttyS0"
|
My /etc/lirc/lircd.conf (from lirc.org)
| Code: | $ cat /etc/make.conf | grep -i lirc
LIRC_DEVICES="pctv" |
I start lircd withoud daemon to see what happens:
| Code: |
# setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
# lircd -n --driver=pinsys --device=/dev/ttyS0
lircd-0.8.7[10988]: lircd(pinsys) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd
lircd-0.8.7[10988]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd
lircd-0.8.7[10988]: could not reset tty
lircd-0.8.7[10988]: Failed to initialize hardware
lircd-0.8.7[10988]: select() failed
lircd-0.8.7[10988]: Bad file descriptor
lircd-0.8.7[10988]: removed client
^CУбито |
I emerge lirc after compiling kernel, but cannot load module lirc_serial - module not found.
'accepted new client' it start 'irw' in another terminal.
After starting 'irw' immediately dies itself.
Also I try start lircd without setserial and modules:
| Code: | # lircd -n --driver=pinsys --device=/dev/ttyS0
lircd-0.8.7[10988]: lircd(pinsys) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd
lircd-0.8.7[10988]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd |
Then 'irw' starts, but silent on pressed keys.
After a few days with this I do not know what else to do. Therefore, I ask for help from you. |

Well, if it's interesting to anyone but me, solution is:
gentoo-sources-2.6.35
lirc-0.8.7
| Code: | cat /etc/conf.d/lircd
LIRCD_OPTS="--driver=pinsys --device=/dev/ttyS0" |
| Code: |
$ cat /etc/make.conf | grep -i lirc
LIRC_DEVICES="pctv" |
modprobe lirc_serial - it wrong: http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html#@hw-tv-card |
