lircd help

DebianUser · 02-27-2011, 05:37 AM

I'm trying to get the below supported receiver working under lircd

Asus DH USB Remote asusdh none asusdh asus/lircd.conf.asusdh bundled

i've done

Code:

apt-get install lirc lirc-modules-source

when I plug the device in dmesg shows

Code:

usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
hiddev96hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Device [T-wins ASUS DH Remote] on usb-0000:00:01.1-2
usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1130, idProduct=cc00
usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 3-2: Product: ASUS DH Remote
usb 3-2: Manufacturer: T-wins

but as you can see it's not allocated a /dev/....

I understand I need to edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and think the below is right? but don't have info to add to DEVICE=

Code:

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
START_LIRCMD=true

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="AsusDH"
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE="/dev/"
MODULES=""

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lircd.conf"
#LIRCMD_CONF=""

also not sure what's supossed to go into
/etc/lirc/lircmd.conf

if anyone can help me get this working it would be greatly appreciated.

When you plug it in, does anything come up when you do the following?

Code:

ls -al /dev/lirc*

I had much the same issue. You need to check whether the device is known to lirc-modules-source
Look in the appropriate

Code:

/usr/src/lirc-0.8.6/drivers/lirc_xxx/lirc_xxx.c

files for your vendor.
Then check to see if the device is listed.
To get this information use,

Code:

lsusb -v -c [bus:device]

Look for

Code:

idVendor

and

Code:

idProduct

for vendor and device information.

Update the appropriate

Code:

/usr/src/lirc-0.8.6/drivers/lirc_xxx/lirc_xxx.c

And rebuild package. On Debian based systems this is:

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source

Restart lirc.

Now the device should have been created, to see what/where use,

Code:

ls -lh /dev/lirc*

For me it showed:

Code:

#  ls -lh /dev/lirc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2011-03-30 08:57 /dev/lircd -> /var/run/lirc/lircd

/dev/lirc:
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 2011-03-30 08:57 0

So I updated my

Code:

/etc/lirc/hardware.conf

with:

Code:

REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc/0"

Restart lirc and test with irw.
