I have a Serial based receiver that came with a Korean made PC case, = (Accent), it uses an ATMEL microcontroller. Using Windows it works fine = using a "General Burst Driver" with IR Assistant ... but I'm having no = luck getting it to work with Linux=20 I'm using Redhat 9.0, I've recompiled the Kernel with no problems, = Modprobe is seeing the lirc_serial driver but using irrecord and get = nothing back when pressing buttons on the remote ... I'm lost as to next = steps to debug what is going wrong ...=20 Am I right in thinking _any_ serial based IR receiver should work with = LIRC or is this thinking incorrect ...=20 help! thanks Mark |

To follow up of this post when I run irrecord, dmesg reports lirc_serial : auto-detected active high reciever lirc_serial : Interrupt 4, port 03f8 obtained lirc_serial : freed IRQ 4 but I don't see any dot's on screen when pressing buttons on the remote = ( I've tried other remotes also )=20 What can I do next to help solve the issue ...=20 thanks Mark=20 ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Mark Blair=20 To: lir...@li...=20 Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2003 3:18 PM Subject: General Burst Driver??? ...

Wrong thinking. The lirc_serial driver accepts a dumb raw signal on one of the rs232 input handshake lines. If a microprocessor is used then its a good bet that it processes the data in some way. And what it outputs is anyone's guess without some technical data.
