I need to make additions to cx18 first. I've noted which pins are used on the IR chip on the HVR-1600, and have to make some informed guesses about how to properly write a reset function for the IR chip. I'll have to test that reset function before I release it so as not to cause anyone problems. 2. Someone will have to modify the lirc_pvr150 module to work with a cx18 based card. In the course of testing the driver reset function, I'll probably have to hack that together anyway. I'll provide a patch, but I won't follow through with the lirc_pvr150 maintainer. > but if you need someone to test I am willing to do so.

Yeah, it's not the easiest to read. > I do have the firmware downloaded as well. The "firmware" is kind of weird. The author captured the Windows driver sending data loads to the IR blaster chip for every supported remote at the time. In the author's words, the lirc_pvr150 module does a "replay attack" to get the IR blaster work working. > I can set up a HG clone of which ever branch of yours you'd like me to > use.

It might be longer than I originally thought though. I have 2 HVR-1600's and only one available PCI slot on a machine that's a real pain to take apart. Right now I have a card w/o the IR blaster chip in the machine.
