Quickstart guide for self made serial receivers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please read /usr/share/doc/packages/lirc/html/install.html for
details.

Suppose you have a self made serial receiver as described in
http://www.lirc.org/receivers.html connected to the first serial
port serial port:

Ensure that the following values are set in /etc/sysconfig/lirc:

    LIRCD_DEVICE="/dev/lirc"
    LIRCD_DRIVER="default"
    LIRC_MODULE="lirc_serial"

Run the following command and add it at the end of
/etc/init.d/boot.local:

    setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none

Load the kernel module for the serial receiver:

    modprobe lirc_serial


Run irrecord to assign names to keys on your remote. Move the
resulting config file to /etc/lircd.conf. Start lircd:

    rclirc start

If everything works (check with 'irw'), add lirc to the boot
process:

    chkconfig lirc on


Quickstart guide for remotes that show up as event devices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The remotes of most DVB devices show up as event devices in
/dev/input/. If you have one of those

- check whether udev already created /dev/input/ir for you when you
  plugged in the device. Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-lirc.rules if it
  didn't. Unplug the device and plug it in again to make
  /dev/input/ir appear.

- cp /usr/share/lirc/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput /etc/lircd.conf

- rclirc start; chkconfig lirc on
