Pine A64+ IR Remote not working

    I've installed the latest nightly build of LibreELEC for PineA64+, version 20220213.

    It works fine, except for Wi-Fi module and IR remote.

    For the first, I'm using the Ethernet cable, so i've resolved.

    For the IR Remote, I've made steps in this page:

    LibreElec Configuration IR-Remotes

    But I got:

    Code
    ir-keytable
No devices found

    How can I use the IR Remote on my Pine A64+?

    Neither wifi nor IR receiver are present on Pine64+ board by default. Did you add any of them by yourself? If so, you should activate them via DT overlays first. Just add FDTOVERLAYS /overlays/sun50i-a64-ir.dtbo /overlays/sun50i-a64-pine64-wifi-bt.dtbo to extlinux/extlinux.conf on FAT32 partition.

    I know, I own the board. However, Linux rule is that if something is missing, it's not enabled. Sockets/headers don't count. So just add above lines and it should work.

    Thanks jernej - I' hadn't understand on first reading of your reply. So, I've added the code inside the file extlinux.conf, before the line with command FDT like below:

    Code
    LABEL LibreELEC
  LINUX /KERNEL
  FDT /sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb
  FDTOVERLAYS /overlays/sun50i-a64-ir.dtbo /overlays/sun50i-a64-pine64-wifi-bt.dtbo
  APPEND boot=UUID=1302-1252 disk=UUID=79a06ea9-ed8f-4364-b22a-b1f873446521 quiet console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1

    Now I'll try to start with this configuration.

    Thank you jernej it works. I've got the command ir-keytable with protocol rc-5 with signals.

    I've mapped the FBPC100A, the remote control for Technisat SkyStar USB DVB-S2 decoder, actually unused.

    Now I'm trying to use it with LibreELEC. May I continue to require help here, or does I must to create another thread?

    Ok, so I've created a file named /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/fbpc100a.toml. It contains as described on this pastebin link: fbpc100a.toml

    So inside the file /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg theres is this line: *  *  fbpc100a.toml

    But when I've reboot PineA64+ I cannot use the remote control, the keys KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN does not move inside interface.

    May I've lost something?

    I've found my issue.

    1. There was some code duplicated inside .tolm file; using the command:

    Code
    ir-keytable -c -w /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/fbpc100a.toml

    I got this error; so after I've corrected the config file, the IR Remote works like a charm. So this command is essential in order to use the configuration with lircd.

    I have bought the ir-remote from pine-shop with sensor and istalled it. I have activated my ir-remote like description above. But it does not working. I'm not really fit with linux, but ist enough for a handfull little things. Here is my print from ir-keytable command:

    What i have to do now?
