8.2.5 break IR remote

Lirc is enable in settings, but still does not work, this was working fine in the release 8.2.3

Is this on original Slice (1) or Slice 3? Do you use a custom /storage/.config/lircd.conf?

Please upload system logs (LE settings->System->Submit Log) and post the URL.

Slice 3, totally factory lircd configure, will upload the logs in next 5 mins

Interesting, it looks like the lirc_rpi driver isn't loading.

Could you try to add the following line to /flash/config.txt

Code

dtdebug=1

Then reboot and post the output of the following command:

Code

vcdbg log msg 2>&1 | paste

i am guessing this is the issue

Code

003225.094: brfs: File read: /mfs/sd/overlays/slice.dtbo

Yes, you are absolutely right, the "slice" DT overlay seems to be broken. I'll ping the

To get back IR on the Slice the following line in /flash/config.txt should work

Code

dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=37

This will use the more modern gpio-rc-recv driver which means you'll also be able to disable Lirc in LE settings.

This has fixed IR, you have to leave the setting enable in the settings as i tested disabling it and it stopped it working

Thanks for the feedback!

After disabling Lirc in LE settings you have to reboot, then in-kernel decoding will be used (running Lirc disables that) and the remote should work again. Could you try that?

I have CM1 and all the above solved it for me. Lirc is now disabled in settings and remote works after reboot.

Cheers

Have had to downgrade to 8.2.3 as 8.2.5 was causing issue with sound breaking up
