I have just bought the above unit, and have everything running except being able to boot the device from the Harmony remote i have.

I have put in (sequentially) all the vendor and product ID pairings that are detected into a /etc/udev/rules.d/90-keyboardwake.sh

Code:
user@pc:~$ dmesg | grep -i vendor
[    1.476857] usb usb1: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0002
[    1.488876] usb usb2: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0002
[    1.548815] usb usb3: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0001
[    1.608790] usb usb4: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0001
[    1.610104] usb usb5: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0002
[    1.613270] usb usb6: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0003
[    2.193666] usb 2-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=0129
[    2.622867] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=8087, idProduct=07dc
[    3.041133] <6>[fglrx]   vendor: 1002 device: 9832 count: 1

this turns on the appropriate devices in their /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/wakeup field but it still does not boot from the remote having suspended it.

the BIOS settings are on, and with newer releases, i thought you only required to create the udev rule to turn this on.

for clarity, here is the lsusb:

Code:
user@pc:~$ sudo lsusb
[sudo] password for user:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:0129 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5129 Card Reader Controller

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

if any other details are required, please ask me to provide them.

thanks
tried updating the BIOS to the latest settings, but still unable to resume from the MCE remote with the kernel based LIRC.

any help please..?

Do you succeed to resume with mouse or usb keyboard?
And i dont see any ir receiver in your lsusb.
Thanks for the reply Bibi

Yes, if I suspend the device with a mouse or keyboard inserted, then it resumes as expected.

I don't see the IR receiver in this list either. I can find it under "/proc/bus/input/devices"

does this mean I need to use an alternate configuration? i.e. install the standard lirc app and not just the in-kernel stuff?
Hi, I hope this helps.

This German review might give clues for internal ir:
** Just as with Logitech remote control profile: "Zotac ID62 ZBox Nano" specify. Had always the Media Center PC profile. ** link:

I'm not using internal ir s3 on OE yet. I cant give you code, sorry. Hope you get it sorted. This aq01 has amazing pq on radeon oss vdpau.

Fyi- My USB lenovo n5902 kb works (suspend/resume) on USB dongle via front ports.
Another Good link..

** Microsoft Media Center Extender” profile in the Harmony software, sent a power toggle command, and watched in joy as the damn thing finally actually woke up from suspend. **

OK. I programmed my harmony 300 in the harmony software.
Chose device add:
Zotac
Aq01 media PC.
It suspends and resumes easily, power on power off like a DVD player. I'm on a new OE 13.2gotham 14.04-64 generic. The backspace does not work out of the box, but a remap should do fine.
Edit: fixed in harmony sw choose buttons -> zotac media -> drag Return onto the backspace arrow curly thingy.
Works like a champ now.
Update:
It actually powers it on from a power off system shutdown. Suspend/resume seems pretty solid. I will use this for a while now.

Hi gfisher,

i've got the same box and openelec runs with it, and also a normal ubuntu 14.04, but i never got the AQ01 to resume from S3 or S4 or S5 with my remote. I've read that you are using a logitech harmony with MCE-profile. Is this all what you are using? Are you using the harmony with the integrated IR-Port at the AQ01 or do you have another USB-IR-Adapter for your harmony?

thx, jennix
Hi Jennix

Mce-remote profile does not work! At lease no resume from s3.
From the app from harmony you must choose zotac aq01. Not MCE. Then it should work.

Note- backspace on the aq01 profile is/was not assigned. In the harmony software assign that button to "Return".

I am still using mine. No glitches so far. I'm now on OE-helix.

Using internal ir only.
Here are pictures.

Choose device in harmony software:
Zotac
aq01

Hi gfisher,

thanks for your reply! I was very short before getting sick about this ZBox-CIR-remote-thingy. Then i've read your posting and there was hope Wink
I have an old harmony 525, and with this remote and the new programming i could switch the ZBox off and on! Now i'm using an "One for All"-Remote 7960, which learned the keys from the harmony and all is fine.

I think Zotac is building some fine hardware, but documentation is not their major strength...


thx, jennix
Glad you got it working. This PC has the most reliable suspend/resume of all I have.. Lol
Your universal remote looks nice and has a nice $.
