Intel NUC - Haswell (4th Generation CPU)
(2013-11-09, 23:21)nickr Wrote: The kernel has a db of devices (vid:pid) that each driver maps to. Sometimes new devices come along that can still use the driver but their vid:pid aren't in the database. Thr kernel won't automatically load the driver but it can still be loaded manually. This may be possible yo fix in modeprobe.conf.
The kernel seems to find the device (based on the PNP id NTN0530?) and tries to load the right driver (that's why you see "nuvoton-cir 00:08: IR PNP Port not valid!" in boot messages). I looked in drivers/pnp/pnpacpi and I think the problem is the ACPI data - _STA returns 0x6 and the kernel thinks the device is not enabled and doesn't allocate it resources. 0x6 looks suspicious as http://www.acpi.info/DOWNLOADS/ACPIspec10b.pdf (section 6.3.5) says "If bit 0 is cleared, then bit 1 must also be cleared (i.e., a device that is not present cannot be enabled)."

I've opened a question in the Intel support community, maybe somebody can clarify there.

Till then.. I added to http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Autostart.sh and it works...called it a day.

Now to address the nuc restarting instead of turning off.. seems to be something fixed in gotham from what I was told

Why not ask in the OpenElec support community which has a forum on here, and another website of its own too.

@lmyllari: thanks for all the help. I added the following to the bottom of my /etc/init.d/xbmc (using ubuntu):

Code:
#fix CIR driver not loading on boot
modprobe -r nuvoton-cir
echo "auto" | sudo tee /sys/bus/acpi/devices/NTN0530\:00/physical_node/resources
cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/NTN0530\:00/physical_node/resources
modprobe nuvoton-cir debug=1

Because it is probably a kernel issue, and the Intel guys should fix it Smile

Has anyone heard of a fixing on corrupt xbmc graphics with latest intel drivers on intel haswells?
I am asking cause it also affects haswel nucs that run under windows..

You mean this Bug? https://communities.intel.com/thread/386...0&tstart=0

We are still working on a driver fix for Microsoft* Windows* 7 and this new issue. I suggest that you subscribe a RSS feed to the drivers to get a notification when a new driver is released for this platform so you can test.

did someone tested it? is it ok?
thanks for your advices
cheers

I have a Celeron with Intel HD Graphics in my micro HDPC and it plays all my movies in 1080p perfectly with great audio through my AVR.

thanks for the answer

Windows 8.1 works fine since they fixed the problem in those drivers.

No one knows how long windows 7 drivers will take to come out though.

Hmmmm... Will do an acronis backup on existing.Windows 7 installation and may try win8.1...

There might be ways around the corruption, not sure..something like doing windows mode or something. Eitherway it isn't really great.

It might help just to complain here a bit: https://communities.intel.com/thread/38686

They have fixed it for windows 8.1, which was like 2-3 weeks ago? I don't really know why they cant just get a driver out for windows 7 with the fix, especially considering they are just releasing new HTPC's. I'm a little confused as to why shoving the fix into windows 7 would be so hard if they already have it for 8? Are they really that different?

I'm not sure how things should be configured after this - it looks like there is an input device and a lirc device that could be used. Now I just need to get an MCE remote..

Also, I wonder what the right way is to fix this. Is the ACPI data incorrect, or is the driver supposed to enable the device before validating the resources?

Using these commands, the IRW now picks up the remote and it works fine! The only problem is that I guess this will need to be run every single boot? I restarted my NUC and it went back to not working.

This also works for me in the latest OE build when I input the commands manually. My MCE remote works just about flawlessly but I'd prefer to use an Apple remote or at least have the option. I know the Apple remote uses an NEC protocol and I see it initializing that but seems it only enables the MCE protocol. Is there a way to change the command to enable the NEC protocol or whatever is necessary to make the Apple remote workin a similar fashion?

What, if any is the advantage of using the internal sata and sata power connections with a internal hdd in the forthcoming "tall" nuc. Is the 3.0 usb connected to a external drive just as fast. I understand that the new haswell nuc has these connections but does not have the room for the drive. Therefore intel is producing a taller nuc to take advantage of them. I have been holding off for this taller nuc for that reason but am now wondering if that is what i want, as i could have a larger external hdd.

I'm not getting a picture with my i5 using a mini hdmi to hdmi converter, any ideas? Going to try a cable tomorrow.

Anyone else having trouble with Sleep? When i enter sleep from XBMC it works for a few seconds but then powers back up. Tried with both OE and Ubuntu+xbmc and changed everything I could think of in the bios. I remember someone mentioned a problem with shutdown - I wonder if that is related.
