Bug Description

I'm an Ubuntu 9.10 64 bits user, and I get a Toshiba A500-141 laptop.

I try to use the IRDA Remote controller (RC6ir), and the Receiver is an ENE CIR Receiver, model ENE0200.

I'm looking for the drivers but I think it isn't supported in linux.

Awaiting your news.

Thank you very much

I have written a driver for ENE0100.
Accidentally I didn't notice that it will support ENE0200 and ENE0201, because these are basicly same devices, but for laptops that ship remotes that aren't supported my MS IR subsystem (so ENE had to implement their own decoding in the driver....)

Try the attached patch against lirc tree. I commit it as soon as I get reports that my driver works for ENE0200/ENE0201

Hi Maxim,
I've tried to apply the patch from console with "#patch < patch.diff", but I
think it's wrong.

Can you send me the right instructions?
Best regards,
Jordi.

@Jordi. You really need to read some HOWTOs to compiling and patching. Its takes time, I know.

Here you need to: (assuming lirc source is in 'lirc' folder, and patch.diff is inside it

cd lirc
patch -p1 < patch.diff

Hi Jordi,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

But you can get the prerelease at

But anyway the only thing is that really 'needed' to support that device is the patch I send here long ago that just adds new PNP IDs.
The rest of the work I did was to implement transmitter support (you are welcome to test it)

You need to install 'dialog' program, but there is a better way.

Just do:

./configure --with-driver=ene0100
make
sudo make install

then load the driver with
sudo modprobe lirc_ene0100 debug=1

(or reboot the system, because it will be loaded automaticly)

*NOTE*

If you want to use this version of lirc please add the attached udev rule to /etc/udev/rules.d
it creates symlink from /dev/lirc0 to /dev/lirc.

Also I recommend to use attached upstart rule to start lirc.
It also creates /var/run/lirc

Both symlink and /var/run/lirc must be created on each boot!

@Alexander Skiba, its likely that the lircd.conf we created isn't very correct.
irrecord reverted to use raw codes, and I think because you didn't follow instructions pecisly, or it is a bit broken.
(the ENE hardware isn't very precise ether)

Please try the attached generic RC6 config file (taken from lirc tarball)
(It doesn't contain actual keycodes, only description of RC6 protocol your remote is using)

use it with irrecord to append the key-codes your remote uses.

Jordi (pelegrin-jordi) wrote :

Hi all,
I've tested the Maxim Levitsky instructions, bud I have some problems with the RC6.
I've downloaded the RC6 attached file, and I tried this instructions:
     sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop
     sudo irrecord --device=/dev/lirc0 RC-6.conf

But, this is the result:
   irrecord: no data for 10 secs, aborting
   irrecord: gap not found, can't continue

It's seem like the receiver doesn't work.
What's happend?

You can disregard that patch, it won't help much.

During last week I did a lot of work on my new version of the driver that will be included in 2.6.36.
I have put it to gitorious.org at:

http://gitorious.org/ene-cir/ene-cir

You can download it ether by doing (preffered):
git clone git://gitorious.org/ene-cir/ene-cir.git

Then you can receive updates using
git pull

or you can press on 'Source tree' and download a snapshot by pressing 'Download master as tar.gz'

Hi Maxim,

I've installed git-core and I've done git clone git://
gitorious.org/ene-cir/ene-cir.git (I send you an image with the result).

After, I've done: sudo modprobe lirc_ene0100, and modinfo lirc_ene0100, but
the filename is :filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_ene0100/lirc_ene0100.ko
the ".../misc/..." doesn't appears.

After I've done:
sudo modprobe -r lirc_ene0100

ignored in a future release.
sudo modprobe lirc_ene0100 debug=1

Of course.
New driver is called ene_ir.
Please contact me via IRC, if you can now, I guide you how to install.

Basicly you only need to run misc/ene_test program once and your remote should start working right away.

Maxim Levitsky (maximlevitsky) wrote :

This is attempt to give (copy me) instructions on how to install the driver.

First remove the existing lirc drivers:
$ rm /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_ene0100/lirc_ene0100.ko
$ rm /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_ene0100/lirc_dev.ko

Now update the driver cache:
$ sudo depmod -a

now verify that lirc drivers don't exist:

$ modinfo lirc_ene0100
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module lirc_ene0100
$ modinfo lirc_dev
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module lirc_dev

Now you download it:
$ git clone git://gitorious.org/ene-cir/ene-cir.git

You didn't noticed that, but that creates a folder with name ene-cir
Therefore you need to enter it:
$ cd ene-cir/

Now compile it
$ make

Install:

$ sudo make install

Load the driver:
$ ./misc/ene_test
ENE driver reloaded

Now your remote should work. no need to start lirc.

If you want to use lirc yet, copy the
./misc/70-disable-ir-decoding.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/

$ sudo cp ./misc/70-disable-ir-decoding.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Then exectute the ene_test again, and verify that only lirc installed.
In other words this:

$ ./misc/ene_test
ENE driver reloaded

$ cat /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols
rc-5 nec rc-6 jvc sony [lirc]

That's great !!!
Perfect job !

I've installed the driver following your easy instructions and works very
well.

Maxim, just one question, some buttons doesn't works (window button, Media
Player button, DVD player button, bright up button, bright down button,
information button) it's possible to configure this buttons, for example
window button -> Application menu, Media Player button -> Totem, etc.
I send you a file with remote control photo.

Thank you very much for your time and patience with me.
It has been a pleasure contact with you.

That's great !!!
Perfect job !

I've installed the driver following your easy instructions and works very
well.

Maxim, just one question, some buttons doesn't works (window button, Media
Player button, DVD player button, bright up button, bright down button,
information button) it's possible to configure this buttons, for example
window button -> Application menu, Media Player button -> Totem, etc.
I send you a file with remote control photo.

Thank you very much for your time and patience with me.
It has been a pleasure contact with you.

Jordi.

Fixed, but you will need to assign the key an application.
Use keyboard shotcuts.
Same applies to many keys below.

Fixed.

Not my fault unfortunately. gnome-power-manger really assumes you press these keys on keyboard.

Please double check that this button is brightness up, and not down.

>BRIGHT DOWN
>Event: time 1284210827.712463, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 800f043a

Same here.

This key works.
I don't think you could assign it to Application menu easily.
Probably would need to assign it some shell script with dbus instructions.
Anyway, its gnome limitation.

>DVD BUTTON -> I think shall open XINE
>Event: time 1284210966.345781, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 800f0424

Now fixed, but again, assign it in keyboard shortcuts.
Understand that now these keys send different keycodes, that are much more generic.
So you need to assign them. Or ask X devs to fix the 248 limit.

This is assigned to Esc key.
I think the key means cancel.

@Jordi, just execute 'git pull' in driver directory if you have it.
If not, download it again.

Of course, after that you need to compile and install the driver as usual.

Hey Maxim, thanks a lot for adding the patch to this bugreport and for your upstream work :)

I just checked and the patch attached to this bugreport is part of our lirc package in both maverick and natty. I will therefore remove the ubuntu-sponsors team as there is nothing obvious to sponsor here (unless this is meant as a SRU request for lucid, in this case, please mention that and update the debdiff and resubscribe ubuntu-sponsors).

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have been trying this fix on Kubuntu 10.10. However, I get an error while executing:

Thanx for all your work, Maxim. Finally I got the IR control of my Satellite A660-12x to work on Ubuntu 10.10.

Quick instructions for all the affected people:

$ git clone git://gitorious.org/ene-cir/ene-cir.git # download the module sources
$ cd ene-cir
$ make
$ modinfo lirc_dev # check where the current driver is installed (in my case /lib/modules/2.6.35-23-generic/kernel/drivers/media/IR)
$ mv /lib/modules/2.6.35-23-generic/kernel/drivers/media/IR bkpIR # move the whole IR folder out of the modules' path
$ sudo make install
$ reboot

Now you can check if it worked with 'xev', press some buttons and see the event codes it should generate.

The 'ir_lirc_codec: disagrees about version of symbol' errors previously reported were caused by some older drivers in the IR folder still being loaded, so make sure to do that 'mv'.

Cheers,

Daniel

Maxim: thanks, you are right.
Unfortunately this doesn't solve my issue - after loading lirc_dev and ene_ir modules i don't have lirc0 device in /dev (or any other device that has "ir" in name), there is only lircd device.

Well, according to this output kernel driver works just fine.
You even have exact same device as I do.
It must have been an user error or some generic bug in lirc core.
