Following up on someone else's suggestion from last week, the problem
you're having may be due to not having the FTDI driver in your
kernel. Try this:
grep -i ftdi /var/log/dmesg
If it's installed, you should get something like:
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for
FTDI USB Serial Device
ftdi_sio 1-1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Detected FT232BM
usb 1-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new driver ftdi_sio
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: v1.4.3:USB FTDI Serial Converters Driver
If you do see this, then verify that you have /dev/ttyUSB0:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
It's very likely that your init script doesn't provide the correct
options for the UIRT. If you do have the /dev entry, then try loading
lirc manually in "no fork" mode to see where it's dying, if at all:
lircd --driver=usb_uirt_raw --nodaemon --device=/dev/ttyUSB0
--output=/dev/lircd
You shouldn't need any modprobe options for this to work.
