I used the lirc_i2c driver with mythdora 5.0 and it works fine.

Rick, The IR chip and interface is in many ways the same between a PVR-150 and an HVR-1600: a Zilog Z8 Encore family microcontroller responding to I2C addresses 0x70-x073 I have attached a patch to the lirc_pvr150 driver, but not the lirc build system nor the lirc_pvr150 "firmware". Last reports on the lists (check the ivtv-user ivtv-devel, linux-dvb and video4linux lists) is that this didn't work. Likely because the real firmware inside the Z8F0811 has changed. This requires someone with a Windows setup and the ability to set some debug variables in the windows utilities to capture the traffic the Windows driver sends to the Z8 chip, and run Mark's scripts to build a new "firmware" file for the lirc_pvr150 driver. The lirc_pvr150 driver actually works by using a "replay attack" on the Z8F0811 sending it the same codes as the Windows driver does. It's my long term plan to get this working (I need it myself circa Feb 2009). It's my even longer term plan to replace the real firmware in the Z8F0811 with some home grown open source stuff and liberate myself (and others) from Zilog's proprietary API, Regards, Andy > Thanks, > Rick _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
