Mine does the same at boot although my remote is Sony and does work.

Code:

[   16.308079] Registered IR keymap rc-rc6-mce
[   16.325021] IR RC6 protocol handler initialized
[   16.360083] rc rc0: gpio_ir_recv as /devices/platform/ir-receiver@19/rc/rc0
[   16.360575] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver gpio_ir_recv registered at minor = 0, raw IR receiver, no transmitter
[   16.361064] input: gpio_ir_recv as /devices/platform/ir-receiver@19/rc/rc0/input0

What is the output from "sudo ir-keytable" ?

What is the output from "sudo ir-keytable -t" when a key on the remote is pressed ?

Pin 25 is Ground, do you mean Pin 22 GPIO25 ?

I'm not sure whats going on here its worked fine for me for many years and reinstalls.

Are you sure theres nothing extra you've done over what you've told us ?

Theres something weird going on somewhere !

I loaded your conf file

Code:

#table: Apple, type: nec
0x87eee20b  KEY_UP
0x87eee20d  KEY_DOWN
0x87eee208  KEY_LEFT
0x87eee207  KEY_RIGHT
0x87eee20e  KEY_P
0x87eee202  KEY_0

and I get

Code:

tc@squeezebox-pcp-lounge:~$ sudo ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event0) with:
        Name: gpio_ir_recv

Notice two enabled protocols

Of course!! My mistake !

I'm using an HfiBerry DAC2

Why I don't have this line:
Enabled kernel protocols: lirc nec

Does the table has a special name/extension ???

When you say

D/A choice, resize files, LMS, Jivelite install, Kernel keytables install, upload IRfile

Where do you upload "upload IRfile"

Here ?

OK

We now know that its software !

Your conf file runs OK on my pCP and enables NEC protocol but dosent on your pCP

I called your file "Nec.conf" and edited it in MS Windows Notepad

Nec.conf

Can you upload this and try "sudo ir-keytable" and "sudo ir-keytable -t" again

It works!!!!

I saw too late my file has a .rtf extension. That probably why it doesn't work but without any error message !!!

Thanks a lot Jeff !!!!! GREAT JOB !!!

**Jeff07971** · 2022-01-20, 16:41

Phew !!! Got there in the end !

I noticed I had a filename problem once before, its even in the thread "Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5.x/6.x "

Oh well !

Glad you got it working

Enjoy

Jeff

rtf is rich text, the file must be plain text. We can handle the Dos->Unix line endings, but not much else. There is very little error checking going on with the file you upload......it takes the user knows what to do. I would have to add some more dependencies to do more error checking.

Notepad++ is the best windows editor for working on files on a linux system.

I fully agree with you! Unfortunately it didn't exist for MAC. I made the file (RTF!) with Textedit.

Normally Mac should be closer to linux than window.... :-(
