USB Infrared Toy / Re: IRToy Locks Up After a Few Sends on RPi With New Kernel
anyway, you can workaround the problem by dumbing down your USB bus speeds to force USB 1.1 speeds. in your /boot/cmdline.txt file, add the following to the line:
dwc_otg.speed=1
the only bad side effect this has that i've noticed is that the network interface is on the same bus as the USB, so it will tend to slow down your network throughput as well.
i'm still trying to work out a less severe "solution" that might permit all of the following:
IR Toy at 1.1 speeds
NIC at full speed
any other USB device at 2.0 speeds
not sure it's possible.
to be honest, i haven't tried any "newer" Pi firmware versions in a while ... maybe it's time for another attempt/update.

USB Infrared Toy / Re: Linux Lirc (usb_irtoy driver) device stops responding
i have been running with a raspberry pi and LIRC and the USB_IRToy for a few years now. it's been rock solid.
then i updated the firmware, preparatory to using the new, 4-USB B+ model, and things went south from there.
like others note here, LIRC starts up - commands run OK for 3 to 4 commands through irsend, then pouf! lircd crashes.
i even went through the process of completely rebuilding and relinking the binaries against the latest system libraries. no help.
so: is this reset a permanent thing? or just a convenient way of not having to un-plug and re-plug?
