This port does not contain any FreeBSD device drivers for infrared
|
|
devices. This port installs the LIRC daemons and tools for interacting
|
|
with drivers that support the LIRC device interface.
|
|
|
|
You will need to obtain third party device drivers or port the Linux
|
|
drivers in ${WRKSRC}/drivers to use the LIRC port.
|
|
|
|
Update for 0.9: Known working with this update are FTDI-based USB
|
|
IR receivers/transmitters like described here,
|
|
|
|
http://www.huitsing.nl/irftdi/
|
|
|
|
and if you use the recent multimedia/webcamd port then MCE USB based
|
|
ones driven by the Linux mceusb driver as well remotes coming with
|
|
USB DVB tuners that by default work with the Linux drivers used in
|
|
webcamd should also work, i.e. if webcamd creates a /dev/lircX
|
|
device node check if e.g.
|
|
|
|
mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
|
|
|
|
reports pulses and spaces when triggering the remote at the receiver,
|
|
if it does you probably will be able to use lirc.
|
|
|
|
Some other userland drivers will probably also work (like others
|
|
using libusb), they just were not tested.
|
|
|
|
The lirc documentation should be accessible at:
|
|
|
|
%%LOCALBASE%%/share/doc/lirc/html/index.html
|
|
|
|
Some example configs should have been installed here:
|
|
|
|
%%LOCALBASE%%/share/examples/lirc/remotes
|
|
|
|
The port now installs an example lircd.conf that's preconfigured
|
|
for use with webcamd, either with USB DVB tuner remotes supported
|
|
by the Linux drivers by default that webcamd uses, or for remotes
|
|
supplied with MCE USB IR receivers. If you want to create a config
|
|
for a different remote using an IR receiver that works with mode2
|
|
you can try using irrecord like described here:
|
|
|
|
