How to use the IR Receiver on Libre Computer Boards

The IR receivers on Libre Computer boards are supported through the standard Linux Infrared Remote Control (LIRC) stack.

Below are some resources on setting up LIRC.

To get raw signals to quickly test the IR, run evtest.

Hello, I’ve been trying to get the IR receiver to work. Does it need to be enabled, like on the raspberry pi? I couldn’t find any documentation on what I would need to enable. evtest runs, but it doesn’t seem to pick up my remote.

Which board are you using?

The Le Potato AML-S905X-CC

This works out of the box. You need to select the right device with evtest.
