[lirc|http://www.lirc.org/] is the Linux Infrared Remote Control driver.

!!Serial remotes

If you have a serial port remote, you might need to create a character device for lirc to use: __ =mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0= __.  You should possibly use a udev rule for this.

!Device or resource busy loading remote

=# sudo setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none=

(replace with correct COM port as necessary)


!Building [Debian]/[Ubuntu] kernel modules

<pre>
# apt-get install lirc-modules-source
# cd /usr/src
# ln -sf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ linux
# cd modules/lirc
# sudo debian/rules binary-modules
# dpkg -i /usr/src/lirc-modules-*.deb  # (install the right .deb to taste)
</pre>

[UDev] rule

/etc/lirc/rules.d/lirc-rules:

=KERNEL=="lirc0", SYMLINK="lirc"=

/etc/lirc/permissions.d/lirc.permissions:

<verbatim>
KERNEL=="lirc[0-9dm]*", MODE="0660", GROUP="lirc"
</verbatim>
