Greetings, I am new to this list. I have a computer with these: -------cpu amd64 2 cores -------o/s cblfs linux 64bit kernel2.6.35.5, udev-161 -------gui prog: kde-4.4.5 with lirc0.8.7 -------iR adapter 1r210 by tekram with rs232/serial interface My kernel generates two serial port devices /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1, but I have no respone from the device when the computer boots up. There is no device-node created in /dev and the physical device does not light up. advice on how to get the device functional and on udev rules for lirc devices in general will be much appreciated. sincerely sibuXolo |

Looks like the Tekram IR210 is actually an IrDA device, but its one of the ones that does at least sort of work using lirc_sir when compiled specifically for the tekram dongle. Personally, I'd just dump that thing in the garbage, save yourself the trouble, and buy a usb-based Consumer IR (CIR) receiver, such as the Windows Media Center/eHome Infrared Transceivers, which are very well supported by the mceusb driver and Just Work(tm). Using CIR with a device designed for IrDA is a kludge. -- Jarod Wilson ja...@wi... |
