Anyone aware of a functional lircd.service for systemd and lircd?

Re: lirc and systemd [solved]

I could make one for you if you want, but first I'd need to read up on lircd. And no, sadly I didn't find anything regarding that

Re: lirc and systemd [solved]

The following works for me:

[Unit]
Description=LIRC Daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/lirc
ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /dev/lircd
ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /var/run/lirc/lircd
ExecStartPre=/bin/ln -s /var/run/lirc/lircd /dev/lircd
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/ir-keytable -p lirc
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lircd -d /dev/lirc0 -P /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
ExecStopPost=/bin/rm -f /dev/lircd
ExecStopPost=/bin/rm -fR /var/run/lirc

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You probably don't want the ir-keytable bit, and the hard coded /dev/lirc0 is quite bodgy.

I took the one here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/s … 01182.html and modified it a bit.

Re: lirc and systemd [solved]

Can someone tell me why this tmpfile using systemd does not work ?

# LIRC Workaround (2.6.38 Upgrade)
# echo lirc > /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols
# echo lirc > /sys/class/rc/rc1/protocols
# echo lirc > /sys/class/rc/rc2/protocols
w /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols - - - - lirc
w /sys/class/rc/rc1/protocols - - - - lirc
w /sys/class/rc/rc2/protocols - - - - lirc

Hey guys..how did you manage to solve problem concerning the release of serial port?!

setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
modprobe lirc_serial
