In the BIOS which looks like version 0305 there's a setting called "Power On By Remote Control" which is under the "APM Configuration". This was on by default for me.

For XBMC I don't actually have any of it working yet. I'm currently using the the HDD from an older HTPC and haven't updated it in a while. I'm hoping that if I reinstall with the latest version the in built receiver will just work. I've found this to always been the case when using the big old MCE USB receiver.

Will let you know how I go.

Hi regs,

Yeah, i have enabled that but it seems it only triggers on MCE remotes (does not work on my popcorn hour a100 remote).

Did you get the remote working in XBMC btw? (lirc)

regs79 · 2010-12-06, 23:56

I spent a couple of hours with it last night. Couldn't get the internal IR to work with XBMC Live at all.

I fear I just don't know enough Linux'y stuff to make it work.

For the time being I've just plugged in the MCE USB Receiver which is big and clunky but it works.

Could someone with the box please show the output of
grep -i rtc /var/log/kern.log

Is it possible to wake this box from powered off state with RTC?

Dont know how to test RTC, but i can if you tell me how.

mst25 · 2010-12-07, 12:52

Thanks, goodmode. In BIOS Power menu is selection APM Configuration, and there selection Resume On By RTC Alarm. If enabled, then there is possible to set date and time for wake up event. If you set them to couple of minutes to the future and power down the computer, does it then wake up on the predetermined time?

sorry for being slowpoke.

APM wakeup works just fine. You can set it by date and time.

Other than that.. im still pretty much nowhere on the remote, and also.. using analog audio on this device is a no go. There is extreme background noice on the port.

I'm very interested too! Smile

Just a thought:
There seem to be a lot of Asrock ION users having problems with the IR since XBMC Live RC2. Have you tried RC1 yet?

goodmode · 2010-12-17, 18:38

it isnt a problem with xbmc, its a problem with lirc and the wb677 drivers in general.

Ive tried lucid, maverick, x86, x64.. everything i can think of.. only way i can get it to work is to compile a new kernel with the nuvoton patch + install both x86 and x64 drivers from asrock. (on this box anyhow.)

I've tried every combo of drivers that i can think of. (only x64, only x86, only patch + x86 etc.)

I've heard that the wb677 will have much better support in 2.6.38 tho.

kozzie · 2010-12-26, 14:29

Got my S1 a few days now. Installed XBMC live 10.00 and tried the Asrock method:

PHP Code:
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nct677x-dkms/lirc-nct677x-src_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nct677x-dkms/nct677x-dkms_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4325533/lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb

sudo dpkg -i nct677x-dkms_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-src_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb

select Nuvoton Transceivers/Remotes and None for the second page.

sudo reboot 

Works perfect untill I reboot. Then I need a reconfigure:

PHP Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc 

It will work till the next reboot...

Sad

Hi, Just wondering if you have had any luck with this, I have tried most of the options mentioned but without any luck.

I can't get IRW to show anything, no movement in XBMC. I have tried a couple of different remotes.

Regards,
Beau

I found this in the RelNOTE.txt provided with the CIR Driver on the ASUS Homepage.

Quote:2009.02.26

XP CIR driver for Nuvoton's W836x7HG CIR devices.

Then I found this:

Might that help?

*bump*

Any news yet?

Wob · 2011-01-19, 04:44

I'm stuck, I have tried all the guides that work for the ASROCK, I've downgraded and upgraded the kernel, I've tried any method I can find but I still get the same result, no movement in XBMC and no output from IRW.

Anyone out there have the IR working on these boxes?

I am also stuck trying to get Suspend and Hibernate to work, the box just wakes up as soon as it's finished going to sleep, no errors in the log, once again I have tried most of the methods I can find, including updated the default grub line, all without success.

Regards,
Wob

Just to clear this up: You can shutdown the operating system and it's possible to start the machine by using the remote control? You are not in S3 mode or something like this?

I just can't get it working, too. I use a Harmony Remote Control. Does anyone know which profile I can use or how to achieve my aim to start the Asus Barebone by using this remote control?

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards
