Last item on my XBMC to do list: getting my Harmony 700 to work with XBMC. I tried a few tutorials (such as this one) and alas nothing.

-Here is what I use:
-Harmony 700 Remote
-Raspberry PI B
-Nwazet IR Receiver (link)
-Xbian (latest)

Now the IR receiver is supposed to work with the unit as it's listed on their page & comments, but not getting anything through.. In peripherals the IR receiver is listed as "CEC Adapter / Product ID 1001 / Vendor 2708 / Class cec / Version LibCEC 2.1.3 - firmware v1" so XMBC sees it - now how to get both devices talking?

My Harmony is set up as a Windows Media Center. Let me know if you need any details.

Please advise - thanks!

My bad - should have posted this in Remotes and CEC support

I have a feeling your issue might be because this is a GPIO and not a USB IR reciever.

Can you try:

Terminal

sudo lsmod
sudo modprobe lirc_rpi
sudo lsmod

and post the output.

And then try your remote.

Can you try:

Terminal

sudo modprobe lirc_rpi
sudo kill $(pidof lircd)
sudo mod2 -d /dev/lirc0

And try various buttons. Hopefully you should see some output.

Then try :

Terminal

sudo mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
sudo modprobe lirc_rpi debug=1
sudo cat /proc/interrupts

Send output and dmesg.

If not, then I am at a loss. It looks like that functionality was not built into the Xbian kernel.

Can you borrow an USB LIRC receiver and see if that works.

The GPIO has been recognised

Code:

[ 3594.710208] lirc_rpi lirc_rpi.0: lirc_dev: driver lirc_rpi registered at minor = 0
[ 3594.710233] lirc_rpi: driver registered!
[ 3595.660552] lirc_rpi: auto-detected active low receiver on GPIO pin 18

I still need the output from:
sudo mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
and
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
and
sudo modprobe lirc_rpi debug=1
and then
sudo cat /proc/interrupts

Then reboot;

sudo stop xbmc
sudo modprobe lirc_rpi
sudo start xbmc

If that doesn't work, then that's my "lot" used up.

Thanks - here are the outputs:

1- sudo mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
mount: debugfs already mounted or /sys/kernel/debug busy
mount: according to mtab, debugfs is already mounted on /sys/kernel/debug

2- sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
GPIOs 0-53, bcm2708_gpio:
gpio-17 (lirc_rpi ir/out ) in lo
gpio-18 (lirc_rpi ir/in ) in hi

3- done, no output

5- After the reboot 3 actions done. Still nothing. Weird.

Would it be possible that the current build has a piece missing from the drivers used by the IR receiver? Odds not but thought I'd ask.
