ASRock ION330 HT remote driver issue.
Hi guys,
A long time ago I had an issue with my ASRock ION330 HT's remote not working with Arch. The fix was to use this package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36673 and edit the PKGBUILD a tad so it would compile with the current kernel of the time (2.6.34). I didn't want to do this every time a new version of the kernel was released, so what I did was add kernel and all related packages to the IgnorePkg option under pacman.conf.
I recently decided to change my ways and updated the kernel and all related packages to 2.6.36, knowing this would probably break remote functionality. Looking through the comments of the above AUR package, I saw someone had given two options, to fix the PKGBUILD they had on a pastebin link (http://aur.pastebin.com/488LL6qw), or build nuvoton-cir using the other pastebin link (http://aur.pastebin.com/7r0suBfw).
I tried going with option one but I have no idea how to fix the PKGBUILD, so I went with nuvoton-cir instead and it worked pretty well. The only problem I'm having now is that sensitivity is quite poor, with buttons events seeming to "queue" up and making for a horrible user experience. Some buttons don't work at all, and irw reports no events at all even though I can clearly see it working on my screen.
Any help with this before my girlfriend kills me would be greatly appreciated!

Re: ASRock ION330 HT remote driver issue.
Hi Hiram,
I'm running into the same problem. That's to say, I followed the same steps you did - I tried editing the PKGBUILD but got an error compiling:
==> Validating source files with md5sums...
IR(10.10)2.6.35-22.zip ... Passed
lirc-0.8.7-pre3.tar.bz2 ... Passed
==> Extracting Sources...
-> Extracting IR(10.10)2.6.35-22.zip with bsdtar
-> Extracting lirc-0.8.7-pre3.tar.bz2 with bsdtar
==> Starting build()...
make: *** No rule to make target `../../config.h', needed by `lirc_wb677.o'. Stop.
Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build lirc-nct677x.
For the second option I managed to compile and install, but the remote didn't respond. Would you perhaps share the steps you took to install nuvoton-cir?
Also, in case you hadn't spotted it yet, someone posted on the lirc-nct677x page the following:
Comment by: RambJoe on Mon, 20 Dec 2010 17:02:34 +0000
I managed to compile it with that. I have not got my ASrock 330HT to test it on yet though.
2.6.36-ARCH
That didn't help me, but perhaps you find it useful.
Cheers,
Rude

Re: ASRock ION330 HT remote driver issue.
You'll need the newer PKGBUILD for nuvoton-cir for now, it will compile without problems. After that, the only thing you need to do is get the lircd.conf.wb667 file from the Ubuntu package and copy it to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.
When you have confirmed that the remote works by running irw, download the Mythbuntu-lirc-generator and run it.

Re: ASRock ION330 HT remote driver issue.
echasslau, did you follow the instructions in the post above yours?
Also, you shouldn't need any extra drivers anymore, kernel 2.6.37 has support built-in for the remote.

Re: ASRock ION330 HT remote driver issue.
Yes, only use kernel 2.6.37 and also have lircd.conf.wb667 in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.
But Mythbuntu-lirc-generator doesn't generate files for xbmc.

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Nuvoton Transceivers/Remotes"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev nuvoton-cir"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="lirc_wb677/lircd.conf.wb677"

Re: ASRock ION330 HT remote driver issue.
Sorry, i'm not sure what you should do at this point. It would seem to be something trivial and/or easy to fix...

Re: ASRock ION330 HT remote driver issue.
Hi,
Just wondering if there was anything that else that any has in their bag of tricks to get this working?
I have one of these Asrocks and have installed
Arch - Mythtv and XBMC but I cannot for the life of me work out how to get the remote to work other the standard arrow keys and volume.
Cheers

Re: ASRock ION330 HT remote driver issue.
The nuvoton-cir driver is already part of kernel 2.6.37, so no need to build anything. Did you see my comment on the lirc-nct677x page?
Typo fixed: Put "echo lirc >/sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols" or "ir-keytable -p lirc" into /etc/rc.local (ir-keytable is available in v4l-utils.)

Hi mate,
Yes I did see that post but wasn't that talking about key repeat problem ? That isn't really what my problem, the remote is only using the hard coded buttons like volume and arrows.
I will add this to rc.local and I assume I need to install v4l-utils ?
Thanks and I will post back my results.
Cheers
Quazza
PS - fphillips mate you are an absolute champion the remote buttons are working now in XBMC but aren't in Myth so I will have a further fiddle with Myth but I am making progress!!! Thanks again
PPS - Ok got myth working now too, it was just my lirccd.conf , I must have removed it earlier when I was trying to get this working, anyway all good now.

Well it may have originally been, but either way we need it. If you google those commands you will see many references to it.

Please mark as solved.

Re: ASRock ION330 HT remote driver issue.
Hey,
I had my asrock running nice and sweet with xbmc until recently where my harddrive suddanly decided to crash, I have changed the harddrive but cant get the remote working again, (the old setup was a .35 kernel i didnt update) I found this thread and the AUR pkg, but the pastebin that fphillips have made is gone, and when I try to do what i can find here + other sources, nothing seem to work. (best result is actually to do nothing!?! that gives some basic movement and play)
Can anyone tell me how to make the remote work for real in XBMC using the new 3.0.3 kernel ? or tell me what fphillips had wrote in those pastebins, seems like ppl make it work with those
thanks

Re: ASRock ION330 HT remote driver issue.
Yeah that conf works on irw, but still no result in XBMC though 
That might be my own fault though, due to too much playing with conf files
Thanks alot litemotiv
