Infrared On UDOO

Is the infrared interface can only act IR sensor or can also be used as remote control?
Where can I find information about how to set this up on Linux system (Preferably Ubuntu)?
It would be really useful if any of the packages supports universal remotes like Logitech Harmony.

 

It's receive only, 38Khz. It's attached to the SMBus on the CPU. U48 is the connection. I don't see any information on how to access it. Check /dev/ for something matching IR?

 

Yes, even I got from reading about the sensor that it is only receiver.
The sensor is not directly connected to the Intel chip, it is connected to STM Microcontroller which is intern connected to main chip using the SMB bus. I couldn't find any information about how to talk to controller and its features.

Btw, I couldn't find anything related to IR in the dev folder.

The only thing I could find is Wake-up on IR in the bios. So there must be a way to interact with the STM uC.

 

There is no firmware yet. Udoo team is developing it: https://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/infrared-port-on-windows-10.6841/#post-26621

 

Up? what about support of IR in bios 1.0.3?

 

There is, you can set options in UEFI. But no instructions yet how to use. It is holiday in Italy.

 

I'm not sure, but i think these options where here before We miss the driver (if the bios is ready for, of course), for what i understand...

 

up someone?

 

Does it someone to get work?

 

Hope this is relegated to the bottom of the pile in the to-do back from holiday list; would definitely like to see this working as part of the HTPC build with along with that sweet as tutorial for ambient lighting

 

+1. Bought the X86s to use as a media player. Without IR support it is kind of a no-go.

Anybody has any update on this?

 

update

i tried https://www.udoo.org/docs-x86/Hardware_&_Accessories/CEC-HDMI.html and found no way to successible dump my remote the device made by seco cec driver.

#logged as user
git clone driver
cd folder
make

#logged as root:
modprobe cec
insmod seco-cec.ko

apt purge lirc input-lirc (i tried this way first)
apt install ir-keytable
ir-keytable:
Found /sys/class/rc/rc1/ (/dev/input/event11) with:
Name: IrDA RC for CEC00001:00
Driver: secocec, table: rc-hauppauge
Supported protocols: rc-5
Enabled protocols: rc-5
bus: 30, vendor/product: 0000:0000, version: 0x0001
Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event10) with:
Name: RC for CEC00001:00
Driver: cec, table: rc-cec
Supported protocols: cec
Enabled protocols: cec
bus: 30, vendor/product: 0000:0000, version: 0x0001
Repeat delay = 125 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

but, when i press on remote:
ir-keytable -t --device /dev/input/event10
ir-keytable -t --device /dev/input/event11
ir-keytable -t --sysdev rc0
ir-keytable -t --sysdev rc1
the infrared sensor is enabled in bios and set on a defaut type of remote (tv0)
i tried many remotes without success, with many tools , like xmode2 and evtest and also without the x server polling the device (init 3 ).

1) i'm not doing what i think i'm doing, or i'm doing it wrong?
2) I try too soon for my young bios+kernel+driver?
3) the "remote type" setting in bios is badly set and block all remote not of this type?

ps: sorry for rude graphic style
