Questions :

1/ There is **2 modules**, but I think it's not a problem because modinfo is OK. Are you OK ?

It seems to me that there are two rc-devices on receiver cards - rc0 and rc1. After restart of LIRC only lirc_dev and lirc_serial are running - ok.

locate lirc_serial.ko /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/linux/drivers/staging/lirc/lirc_serial.ko /lib/modules/sic/2016-05-20_22:51/3.2.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/media/staging/media/lirc/lirc_serial.ko

.. the new one from TBS and a backup - ok.

2/ I found a problem with lirc (I don't know if there is a relation with mode2 : setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none /etc/init.d/lirc start [ ok ] Loading LIRC modules:. [FAIL] Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC : failed! You mean lirc or lircd ? (I use lircd in my vdr)

LIRC is a daemon (/usr/sbin/lircd on my system) and /etc/init.d/lirc is the script to start this daemon. If I restart LIRC I see the following in syslog (on my systemd system via journalctl -f):

Mai 22 14:52:10 vdr systemd[1]: Stopping LSB: lirc daemon... Mai 22 14:52:10 vdr lircd-0.9.0[980]: caught signal Mai 22 14:52:10 vdr vdr[2522]: [2540] ERROR: lircd connection broken, trying to reconnect every 3,0 seconds Mai 22 14:52:10 vdr lirc[1024]: Shutting down lircd ..done Mai 22 14:52:10 vdr systemd[1]: Stopped LSB: lirc daemon.

Your line "[FAIL] Starting remote control..." means that LIRC has any problem. Please try to find any other entries in any logfiles that may be related with this problem. This failed start should be visible in syslog...

3/ During workflow, theses commands returns "no file", I don't know if it's normal : mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/* $SICDIR/media/ mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/staging/media/* $SICDIR/staging/media/

On my system the package from TBS installs in different directories than the original modules are. This way I had a mixture of original modules and modules from TBS. After deleting the original "media" subdirs and reinstalling TBS stuff all was ok. But if it become necessary to restore the originals you need a backup... Maybe your system has a different directory structure?

4/ I can't check this because "/etc/sysconfig" doesn't exist in my Debian 7.7.0. Do you know the path for Debian ? vdr:~ # grep '^[A-Z]' /etc/sysconfig/lirc LIRCD_DEV_PERMISSIONS="660" LIRCD_DEV_OWNER="root:video" LIRCD_DRIVER="default" LIRCD_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0" LIRC_MODULE="lirc_serial" LIRCD_LISTENPORT= LIRCD_CONNECT=

vdr:~ # find /etc -name 'lirc*' /etc/lirc /etc/lirc/lircd.conf /etc/init.d/lirc /etc/sysconfig/lirc

Try this on your system...

5/ I use Homebrew too. Could you confirm that parameters must be sent with theses 3 files ?

/etc/lirc/lircd.conf

/etc/serial.conf /dev/ttyS0 uart none

/etc/lirc/hardware.conf # /etc/lirc/hardware.conf # # Arguments which will be used when launching lircd LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file #START_LIRCMD=false

#Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist. #START_IREXEC=false

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers. DRIVER="" # If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and udev is in use /dev/lirc0 will be # automatically used instead DEVICE="" MODULES="lirc_serial"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any LIRCD_CONF="" LIRCMD_CONF=""

On my system there is no /etc/serial.conf. Your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf could be somewhat that /etc/sysconfig/lirc is on my system.
