IR Receiver

joe1203

I purchased one Orange PI PC.

Write Fedora 22 to SD card, boot up the machine, login via SSH
insmod sunxi_ir_rx,
installed LIRC and evtest.

I see /dev/input/event2 is sunxi_ir, but no /dev/lirc0

When playing with three different IR remote, evtest never gives any output.

Any clue?
Tried Ubuntu too.
Maybe the IR receiver only supported by Android/Orange OS (http://www.orangepi.org/orangepi ... wthread&tid=541)?

seems it works if using official Fedora distros

After many sleepless night, it seems that the sunxi-ir-rx modules will NOT pass the raw IR signal if it cannot decode the signal.

According to this post, I can get the raw ir output. It proves that my board is working.

Maybe the easiest (but ugly) way is writing a script and keep polling and parsing the var/log/messages, or mod + recompile the sunxi-ir-rx module based on the output of my remote

Just install Ubuntu 12.04 in virtualbox, clone the source of linux-3.4-sunxi from github, exposed a few more paramteres and compile the modules. But when playing around on Fedora 22, I cannot load the modules and receive "Invalid module format". Here is the output of modinfo, file and readelf -h, any clues?

Not sure about your issue, but I backported sunxi IR LIRC driver from mainline kernel:

https://github.com/jernejsk/Open ... -sunxi-driver.patch

That way you can use whatever protocol you want.
