Just trying to configure the IR remote but while following the guides online (mostly an OE guide), I get a warning that it "cannot open /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf" and after going through the intial process, it either freezes at the end of second line of the random-recording of the remote's signal or outputs a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" message. I don't know if the OE guide is outdated or different, but is there a guide for LE or your build? I would provide a debuglog but not sure how to.
Unfortunately in 8.0.2e LIRC is broken due to broken drivers in media_build package. It should work in 8.1.x builds but I have to amend device trees for it.
