I'll verify this with OE once I get my dual boot sorted out. Then I need to figure out where to get a suitable remote..

Here are the steps in OE:

Code:

i5-nuc:~ # modprobe -r nuvoton_cir
i5-nuc:~ # echo "auto" > /sys/bus/acpi/devices/NTN0530\:00/physical_node/resources
i5-nuc:~ # modprobe nuvoton-cir
i5-nuc:~ # dmesg | tail -20

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?
