I'm interested in using LIRC on OpenWRT, to interface with the
IguanaWorks USB IR transceiver. (Though specifically, I'm interested in
receiving, not transmitting.)
I found these two OpenWRT wiki pages about LIRC:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/lirc-gpioblaster
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/lirc-audio_alsa
However, neither seems relevant to my situation, because it appears that
the IguanaWorks transceiver uses a different driver than audio_alsa:
http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html#usb
Several pages I've read indicate that LIRC is available for OpenWRT, and
suggest " scripts/feeds install lirc", but that doesn't work for me:
ppelletier@patrick64:~/openwrt$ scripts/feeds install lirc
WARNING: No feed for package 'lirc' found, maybe it's already part of
the standard packages?
But it doesn't show up in menuconfig by default, so it doesn't seem to
be part of the standard packages, either. This seems to be the case for
at least Designated Driver and Chaos Calmer; I haven't looked any
further back than that.
Was LIRC support removed at some point, and was it because of lack of
interest, or some fundamental reason LIRC can't work with OpenWRT? If I
wanted to try reviving LIRC support, where would I start?
Thanks,
--Patrick
