LIRC on CuBox

[jttj]

The IR port on my CuBox stopped working at some point a few weeks ago. It seems like the driver isn't getting loaded (/dev/lirc0 is no longer present).

Has anything changed in a recent kernel, by chance? If not is there anything else that might be causing this sorta thing?

Cheers.

Kernel 3.5.0-2 doesn't seem to contain IR support.

Odd. Is it missing from the config, or just outright missing?

Just had a look through the kernel configs.

It looks like the previous kernel had the LIRC drivers compiled into the kernel, but they are now set to modules in the current kernel config.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'CONFIG_LIRC=y
CONFIG_RC_MAP=m
CONFIG_IR_NEC_DECODER=m
CONFIG_IR_RC5_DECODER=m
CONFIG_IR_RC6_DECODER=m
CONFIG_IR_JVC_DECODER=m
CONFIG_IR_SONY_DECODER=m
CONFIG_IR_RC5_SZ_DECODER=m
CONFIG_IR_SANYO_DECODER=m
CONFIG_IR_MCE_KBD_DECODER=m
CONFIG_IR_LIRC_CODEC=m')

Tried modprobing ir_lirc_codec, which it loaded, but made no difference.
Not sure if any other driver is needed?

Just noticed that when I modprobe lirc_serial, the system seems to hang (over SSH anyway). Not sure what's going on with that - i'll try it over serial later.

Hi!

Does anyone have the old kernel package? or could we have an 3.5 update with working lirc?
I need it for my htpc remote.

Cheers

Hi,
does anyone succeed to use lirc ?

I'm using kernel 3.5.7 but still missing: /dev/lirc0

Thanks
