iguanaworks serial transceiver and lirc weirdness
hello list,
i'm trying to get lirc working with iguanaworks serial ir transceiver
(http://iguanaworks.net/products/series-transceiver/), but failing
miserably. i have a soekris net4801
(http://soekris.com/products/net4801.html) box running debian wheezy
(7.0), and the transceiver is connected to the extra serial port with a
simple db9 to idc cable.
now, the weird thing is that mode2 and irrecord work very nicely, but
irw or irexec don't. here's what i get when trying to run irw (it's on
ttyS1 because ttyS0 is the serial console):
root <at> krzysztof:~# setserial /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
root <at> krzysztof:~# modprobe -v lirc_serial
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/media/rc/lirc_dev.ko
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_serial.ko
irq=3 io=0x2f8 sense=1 debug=1
root <at> krzysztof:~#lircd -n -d /dev/ttyS1
lircd-0.9.0-pre1[5404]: lircd(default) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd
lircd-0.9.0-pre1[5404]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd
lircd-0.9.0-pre1[5404]: could not get hardware features
lircd-0.9.0-pre1[5404]: this device driver does not support the LIRC
ioctl interface
lircd-0.9.0-pre1[5404]: major number of /dev/ttyS1 is 4
lircd-0.9.0-pre1[5404]: make sure /dev/ttyS1 is a LIRC device and use a
current version of the driver
lircd-0.9.0-pre1[5404]: Failed to initialize hardware
again, i can clearly see things running around the screen when
pressing buttons on my remote with mode2, and irrecord also seemsto
pick up everything i send its way. so what gives?
any help is appreciated,
thanks,
ido
