What I do in MiniMyth is use udev to create device symbolic links<br>
from the hardware's characteristics (e.g., vendor id, product id,<br>
serial number). Once this is done, device can be referred to by the<br>
symbolic link, which does not change as it is constructed from the<br>
hardware's characteristics. For example, newer versions of udev<br>
contain a rules script (60-persistent-input.rules) that does this<br>
for input devices.<br>

Hi Paul<br>
<br>
Ive tried this using udev and have it matched to the remote. I had set<br>
it to REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/<u></u>remote" in hardware.conf. However, I<br>
dont get any output from the remote using irw.<br>
<br>
What im having after each boot is change the remote device to /dev/lirc0<br>
or /dev/lirc1 depending on where the remote is placed agains<br>
either /sys/class/rc/rc0/ or /sys/class/rc/rc1/<br>
<br>
I cant find anywhere to point /sys/class/rc/rc0/ to /dev/input/remote<br>
</div></blockquote>
<br>
The /dev/input devices created by udev are input devices not lirc devices. What I did for MiniMyth was to create my own udev script that created persistent device symbolic links for lirc devices.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">
