Linux Software
A linux device driver and some API code is available for the RedRat3 and RedRat3-II:
Version 0.4 (RedRat3-II and RedRat3)
Many thanks for S. Cox for this update and testing with the RedRat3-II. Please read this file
on how to build using the 2.6.24-16-generic kernel (Kubuntu 8.04 LTS).
It now includes a new lirc_redrat3 module and updated configuration menu so a RedRat3 option
appears. The code download is here or is also
available from
SourceForge.
We do not officially support this code, but if there are questions or technical issues, then
please contact RedRat and we'll try and help as best we can.
Version 0.3 (RedRat3 Only)
Based on version 0.2, this is the next version from our very helpful RedRat3 linux supporter. It is a full distribution
of lirc (0.7.2), with the Redrat3 driver which replaces the lirc_mceusb (Microsoft
Media Center usb IR remote) driver. It's licensed under the GPL license, which can be viewed here.
More details found in the
README.RedRat3 file and
code comments. Code can be downloaded here
lirc-0.7.2.rr3-0.3.tgz.
Version 0.2 (RedRat3 Only)
A helpful RedRat3 user has taken the 0.1 code a little further addding the first cut
at lirc support.
Main changes are:
- Restructured SignalDB structures to base around windows SignalDB XML
- Coded XML Writer routine to serialize SignalDB
- Coded XML Reader routine to deserialize SignalDB
- Added base64.c from bsd openssh, created base64.h, minor updates to fn prototypes
- Updates to uid/sigdata processing to encode decode base64 / support uid's
- Updated signalread.c to gain rudimentary concept of AVDevice. Signals will ONLY be created to AVDevice 'default' .. for now.
- Updated sendsignal.c to understand AVDevices, signals can be sent from any AVDevice
Version 0.1 (RedRat3 Only)
John Schmerge has done a great job of getting the RedRat3 working on Linux. Please
take a look at his
online information for installation and setup details and also to download
this version.
