Re: sending fake IR events to lircd from command line

Hi Marc, Heres a patch of some code to do this, it is a year old and I haven't tried it since, so your milage may vary. I recall using it with quotes to trick irsend into being happy about the number of parameters, like:$irsend SEND_RELAY "message to relay".

FW: Patching the kernel 2.6.4 for LIRC

Hi, I have just learnt to compile my kernel (2.6.4), and I have download the 2.6.4 kernel patch for LIRC. I have also download LIRD-0.6.6 and expanded it into /usr/src I have applied the patch to the kernel in /usr/src/linux-2.6.4 but when I tried to make it, it fell over. I noticed that some of the directories it was looking for are in /usr/erc/lirc-0.6.6, but it seemed to be trying /usr/src/linux-2.6.4 for these. As a newbie trying to teach himself by reading the HOW-TO?s, I have reached an impasse, and help would be greatly appreciated! Firstly, here is what happened when I patched the kernel, then when I tried to make the new 2.6.4: Cheers Douglas [root-mK7rAUsKRwo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx linux]# bzip2 -dc ../lirc-2.6.4-20040318.bz2|patch -p1 patching file Documentation/lirc/lirc_it87 patching file drivers/char/Kconfig patching file drivers/char/Kconfig.orig patching file drivers/char/Makefile patching file drivers/char/lirc/Kconfig patching file drivers/char/lirc/Makefile patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_atiusb.c patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_bt829.c patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_dev.c patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_dev.h patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_gpio.c patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_i2c.c patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_it87.c patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_it87.h patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_mceusb.c patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_parallel.c patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_parallel.h patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_serial.c patching file drivers/char/lirc/lirc_sir.c patching file include/linux/lirc.h [root-mK7rAUsKRwo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx linux]# make make[2]: `scripts/fixdep' is up to date.   HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/conf scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/i386/Kconfig optimize  &&  ? optimize  &&  ? optimize  &&  ? optimize  &&  ? # # using defaults found in .config # * * Restart config... * * * Linux InfraRed Controller * Linux InfraRed Controller (LIRC_SUPPORT) [N/m/y] (NEW) y   Maximum LIRC devices (LIRC_MAX_DEV) [2] (NEW) 2   I2C Driver (LIRC_I2C) [N/m/?] (NEW) m   GPIO Driver (LIRC_GPIO) [N/m] (NEW) m   BT829 Driver (LIRC_BT829) [N/m/y] (NEW) m   IT87 Driver (LIRC_IT87) [N/m/y] (NEW) m   ATI USB Driver (LIRC_ATIUSB) [N/m/y] (NEW) m   MCE USB Driver (LIRC_MCEUSB) [N/m/y] (NEW) m   Serial Driver (LIRC_SERIAL) [N/m/y] (NEW) m     Serial Receiver Type     > 1.

Desperate to get libirman working on 2.6.4

I've been trying for several days now to get lirc 0.6.6 using libirman 0.4.2 on Mandrake 10 with 2.6.4. The exact same machine and Mandrake10 booted with the 2.4.25 kernel will work fine every time. Im using the HomElectronic IRA (ver 1 I think) and the irman driver. At a high level, the lirc daemon spits out a Connection Timeout Error when trying to connect to /dev/lirc -> /dev/ttyS0. Using the libirman/test_io program with some more debugging I've put in, I've been able to trace it as: [root-O4yixywcq0w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx libirman-0.4.2]# ./test_io /dev/lirc IR error reading handshake (Connection timed out) Basically, its sending the IR command and not receiving the OK back. setserial is showing: [root-O4yixywcq0w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx libirman-0.4.2]# setserial -a /dev/lirc /dev/lirc, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50000, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 50880 Flags: spd_normal skip_test The wierd thing is about 1 in 5 attempts will work, but no pattern is evident. I have full strace's available, from both 2.4.25 and 2.6.4 both in working and failing states if they will help. I've gone so far as to modify the libirman driver to dump all the members of the termios and serial_stuct members for both OS versions to compare, I haven't seen any significant difference. I'm using the std linux serial driver, the lirc config said not to use a module. Again, this is the same config I've used for over 12 months on 2.4. Anyone who can please help me? Is there another way to configure this that may work?
