[mythtv-users] Lirc Problem

[Joe Henderson]

Andrew, 

Version: 0.9.0 running kernel 2.6.xx latest from CentOS Updates. 

The modules are compiled an installed without issue. 

The receiver I have works without issue. However the transmitter (separate device) does not work. 
I get "device is not supported". However this was working on an older version. 0.8.2. 

Has anyone been successful in getting a FTDI or Serial transmitter to work using CentOS 6.3 
and can you provide the steps/configs. ? 


Thanks, 

Joe

Hi Joe, 
It's been years since I've used serial with lirc because it always gave me headaches... I think you'll be better off with the ftdi one when it comes, I've just started using a ftdi receiver (homemade) and found it surprisingly easy to set up. 
Compiling from source as you've done should certainly fix most of the serial driver issues however, that's what I always had to do. 

What version of lirc were you using on the old box, if it was older it may have had some slight config difference (shooting in the dark here though). 

Are you certain you're on /dev/ttyS0? 

I see the scripts are supposed to be doing the setserial stuff, have you verified that it's working correctly? 
I'd also check if irq=4 is still correct on your new hardware. 
# setserial -g /dev/ttyS0 
will tell you if the irq is correct and should say if the uart none line in the scripts worked. 

Might be worth checking any com port settings in bios too to ensure there's nothing set awry. 

Good Luck, 
Andrew

All, 

Has anyone had any issues with a Lirc serial blaster with CentOS? 

I currently replaced my old box circa 2007. And cannot get the lirc serial 
blaster to work.. I was able to get mysql/mythfrontend/schedules direct 
to work. However this Lirc blaster issue has me in a rut. 

Please See the following URL's for my steps in troubleshooting.. 

CentOS 6.3 on a Intel board H77 chipset.

I'm currently waiting on a FTDI blaster from http://www.irblaster.info/usb_blaster.html 

to see if conditions improve. 




Thanks, 

Joe
