I'll try stuffing with the config when I am home next week, cheers

escalade sure I'll try it, it's the new generic build?

So you're staying atm at kernel 4.14.x?

For some reason, after upgrading to systemd 237 I also had issues starting Spotify. I've now switched to starting my additions with python scripts which seems to work better. Perhaps you can give the new build a shot? It's uploading soon.

Could you point me in the direction of what python script to launch Emulationstation + Retroarch? Not using vanilla skin.

Quote from escalade

/usr/bin/emulator-frontend.py

/usr/bin/spotify.py

/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable.py

Thx, will try it later on. Retroarch is untouched?

Hi Escalade,

Thanks for your work, I have been enjoying your build for a while now. I built a new system this weekend with a Ryzen Raven Ridge 2400g processor and I was just wondering when or if you might have a build that has new AMD drivers.

gwilly7

the 2400g processor should support AVX so try these builds as they feature linux kernel 4.16

Linux 4.15 Is Set To Sail Today With AMDGPU DC, Zen Temperature Monitoring, RISC-V - Phoronix

Thanks for the info. I tried the regular build and it will not even recognize the gpu to boot. I am already sick of windows, but so far so good otherwise with the chip.

Hi all, anyone else running a NUC with the AVX build, utilizing the in-built ir receiver?

It has stopped working for me post devel-20180211

I posted this output earlier, however again for reference:-

output from devel-20180211 (currently working)

dmesg | grep cir
[    4.493374] nuvoton-cir 00:01: found NCT6776F or compatible: chip id: 0xc3 0x33
[    4.565473] lirc lirc0: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (nuvoton-cir) registered at minor = 0
[    4.565493] nuvoton-cir 00:01: driver has been successfully loaded

output from devel-20180219 (not working)

dmesg | grep cir
[    4.545143] nuvoton-cir 00:01: found NCT6776F or compatible: chip id: 0xc3 0x33
[    4.693619] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver nuvoton-cir registered at minor = 0
[    4.694318] nuvoton-cir 00:01: driver has been successfully loaded

I see that it is referring to the device as rc0 and not lirc0 in the newer kernel, however not too sure if a config change is required somewhere to reflect this..

grabbing an output from ir-keymap, i can see it has the same table / protocols loaded as the working build

Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event10) with:
    Driver nuvoton-cir, table rc-rc6-mce
    Supported protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 sharp xmp 
    Enabled protocols: lirc nec rc-6 
    Name: Nuvoton w836x7hg Infrared Remote
    bus: 25, vendor/product: 1050:00c3, version: 0x0033
    Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

Whilst the driver seems to load ok, I get no test signals received performing tests:-

ir-keytable -t

or

mode2

I have also tried putting a keymap file for my xbox_one remote in the rc_keymaps folder. ir-keytable reads this ok when instructed to:-

ir-keytable -c -w /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/xbox_one

However, does not make a difference unfortunately.

I have also tried toggling between ir modes in the NUC bios (RC6 & MCE remote)

Switching the lirc service on in libreelec also has no effect.

Would appreciate any other suggestions if anyone has some.

Cheers
