I use a more or less identical system for controlling XBMC on my RaspberryPi, and did wonder about using the same for the controlling Jivelite on CSOS, but (yet again) not had a chance to look into yet ;( My understanding is that the required LIRC code is now part of the kernel so it should work with F20 with out much trouble. However with F19 I'm not at all clear as that uses a much older kernel, which probably does not include the LIRC stuff, and would likely require some effort. As far as Johns hardware goes, I believe he is making GPIO pins available on the board, but not sure if this will include the pins used as standard for LIRC, although I think this can be configured to use other pins, so that is not likely an insurmountable problem. Be warned, however - even if the right pins are available and the LIRC code in place, it still takes quite a bit of effort to set up, as you need to program LIRC for the particular remote you want to use, which can be fiddly, and then define the actions of the buttons. If you want a cheap solution and have the patience, this might be a good option. Otherwise stick to FLIRC - it so much simpler :D (and cost less than a cheap dinner out). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slackhead's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13963 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
