Hi,
I'm currently trying to develop a IR Remote (TV consumer) listener in C under Linux.
First of all I tried with an old notebook with an integrated IR peripheral (FIR)under Debian (kernel 2.6). All seems to work fine, I can also access directly with
#cat /dev/ttyS1
And my listener (written in C) work pretty fine.
Problems came up with a newer notebook with Ubuntu 8.10.
I set FIR in Bios like the older notebook. But trying to access with cat /dev/ttyS1 raise this error: read: Input/output error
I took immediatly that something lock this device but, how can I see which process lock this resource?
Running my program (a simple non canonical read from the /dev/ttyS1) give me NO data... Seems to be that nothing is coming through the IR port (despite I was trying clicking about an hundred buttons on 3 differents remote controllers :) ).
I tried to unload all modules of irda and I disable UART setting with setserial, but nothing change.
I'm pretty sure that problem came because of "something" who lock this device, but I have no idea how to patch it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot
Sergio

Before looking at your C code, you might want to get your IR port going if you can't access it directly from the console. Try to post on the Linux forum here or some Ubuntu forums.
Thanks...
I just cloned this post to the linux forum...

Hello to everybody,
I've done an application that draws in a frame the trajectory of a
robot. The robot position is readed through the serial port, and
several commands are wrote through the same port to change the
direction of the robot.
The trajectory frame is managed by an applet, and the project works
good when the applet is called by a html document allocated in the
same local machine under W98 where the classes and the serial port...

I'm working with a serial port device tryinig to get information back from the device. The communication is working but the feedback I recieve returns the query I output each time along with the actual response. The manufacturers notes say that this shouldn't be the case. Discarding the out buffer does not do a thing, the output command is still in the line. Discarding the input buffer clears the output line and the response both leaving me...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
