AW: No such device

[Steffen S. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi

seem's like you forgot to insmod the lirc modul. You can found it under
/lib/modules/kernelversion/misc/
I have the modul lirc_serial for the serial port and do a modprobe
lirc_serial to use lircd and irrecord.

I hope it helps

Steffen

Betreff: No such device


I am having a bit of difficulty and have reached a point at which I am
not sure which way to go.

This is my current problem:

[root@linuxbox root]# /usr/local/sbin/lircd
lircd 0.6.6: could not open config file '/etc/lircd.conf'
lircd 0.6.6: No such file or directory
[root@linuxbox root]#

So run irrecord <filename> to make a config right.

[root@linuxbox root]# irrecord myremote

irrecord -  application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc

Copyright (C) 1998,1999 Christoph Bartelmus(li...@ba...)

irrecord: could not open /dev/lirc
irrecord: default_init(): No such device
irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check
permissions)
[root@linuxbox root]#

Permissions on the devices.

[root@linuxbox root]# ll /dev/lircd
srw-rw-rw-    1 root     root            0 Jan 19 11:45 /dev/lircd
[root@linuxbox root]#
[root@linuxbox root]# ll /dev/lircd
srw-rw-rw-    1 root     root            0 Jan 19 11:45 /dev/lircd
[root@linuxbox root]#
[root@linuxbox root]# ll /dev/lircm
prw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 19 10:57 /dev/lircm
[root@linuxbox root]#

[root@linuxbox root]# modprobe lirc_sir
modprobe: Can't locate module lirc_sir
[root@linuxbox root]#

[root@linuxbox lirc_sir]# ls
lirc_sir.c  lirc_sir.o  Makefile  Makefile.am  Makefile.in
[root@linuxbox lirc_sir]# pwd
/root/lirc-0.6.6/drivers/lirc_sir
[root@linuxbox lirc_sir]#


I have ran make install so the driver should be the correct?


If someone could please point me in the right direction I would be most
grateful.

Best regards
