Workaround for Nuvoton 10.00 Experimental version 1

I might found the solution to fix the remote for the nuvoton livecd. If someone is willing to try the following my next livecd could have a remote working out of the box! If you’re willing to help me to test, do the following; De contents of the file below should look like this:

/etc/lirc/lircd.conf

include "/usr/share/lirc/extras/more_remotes/lirc_wb677/lircd.conf.wb677"

The content of this file: /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

REMOTE="Nuvoton Transceivers/Remotes"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_wb677"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="lirc_wb677/lircd.conf.wb677"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""
TRANSMITTER="None"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""
START_LIRCD="true"
START_LIRCMD=""
LOAD_MODULES=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"

Restart lirc to reload the new configuration files:

sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart

The remote should be working now. These steps can only be applied on the xbmcfreak livecd. Please let me know if this fixes the remote.

XBMCFreak Nuvoton 10.00 Experimental version 1

Here’s a new version of the xbmcfreak nuvoton livecd for all Asrock ION330 users. I tried to integrate the drivers using the yavdr repository. Because of that the Nvidia drivers are updated to version 260.19.29.

The navigation sounds are turned off because XBMC contains some functionality to generate it’s own asoundrc file. The fix the hdmi sound do the following. Using the console type:

nano .asoundrc

Make sure the contents of the file looks like:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi"
}
}

XBMCFreak Nuvoton livecd on it’s way!

The livecd with support for the Nuvoton driver is on it’s way. I solved the double kernel issue by adding the following repository:

https://launchpad.net/~yavdr/+archive/stable-vdr/+index?field.series_filter=lucid

Because of that the livecd will also contain the Nvidia 260.19.29 driver packages. The livecd will be still experimental. More info soon!

Nuvoton ION 330 help wanted

I’m looking for a way to detect the Asrock ION 330 Nuvoton chip. This allows me to create a single livecd for both Asrock ION330 users and normal users. Most important is that the system is not yet installed with the nuvoton drivers. Anyone can offer me help by providing the output of:

/proc/bus/input/devices
lsusb
lspci -nn
dmesg | grep lirc
