How to install asrock 330HT remote

Quick howto on installing 330HT remote in Ubuntu 10.10

Open an terminal

First we’ll need lirc:

sudo apt-get install lirc

Select “None” for both “remote control configuration” and “IR transmitter”

And then install lirc-modules-source:

sudo apt-get install lirc-modules-source

Now for Nuvoton 677 .deb’s

wget "http://europe.asrock.com/downloadsite/drivers/Nettop/Ubuntu/IR(10.10)2.6.35-22.zip"

Unzip this:

unzip IR\(10.10\)2.6.35-22.zip

Install the deb inside the unzipped catalog:

sudo dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-1.1.0-ubuntu10.10-kernel2.6.35.deb

Choose “Nuvoton Transceivers/Remotes” and “None” in the IR transmitter dialog.

To try if this installed correctly, you can run irw and press buttons:

irw

You should see something like this

The remote should now be ready to be used with e.g. XBMC
