Any Interest in ARMv7 builds

[agent_kith]

Found where LIRC_RPI is supposed to be media/staging. But yet to figure out it's depedencies... Don't think I can get the kernel done today. But will try to get this working over the weekend.

In the meantime, be interested to hear your views about the stock Strech kernel vs the custom Snakeoil one. Does it sound the same? or different?

I haven't had the chance to listen...and it's now time for some shuteye.
Tomorrow, once the Oled is working I should have time to sit and enjoy...

Lirc remote and oled display both working on stock kernel

Time to relax a little and do some listening.

Once I've heard from Adrian how to activate the Spectrum Analyser  and tested on the RT kernel when it is available I will shuffle all the notes into a coherent How-to and post.

Aha.....!??? Possibly ???

Code:

pi@snakeoil:~ $ modprobe lirc_serial
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.14.66-rt40-pi-snakeoil-20181001+/modules.dep.bin'
modprobe: FATAL: Module lirc_serial not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.66-rt40-pi-snakeoil-20181001+
pi@snakeoil:~ $

Good call.. I'd build that again later and get back to you later today.

From your post in #37 there's no lirc_serial module as far as I can tell. Can you email me the /var/log/lircd log to my email?

[Bromf]

You have mail...

Looks like the GPIO is not working.. Interesting to see that as the kernel is built with the options for Pi. I'd give it one last try..

And if it still doesn't work, maybe recomile the kernel to use loadable modules, and then include everything as modules. The SQ is likely to suffer, but that is going to bring more compability. And that may well be better for the Pi platform.

Gpio is working for the oled screen on both kernels.....
I'll check for wiring-pi but I'm sure I installed that right at the beginning...


also....lirc-serial

Fixed !!!!!!    LIRC is working !!!!  On the rtkernel.... so no need to recompile with modules.....

For some odd reason the rt-kernel does not use /dev/lirc0   but does use /dev/lirc1

Having found that and run the lirc configuration using /dev/lirc1 it all completes and works..
