One box uses the homebrew serial ir driver, lirc_serial, rite? If I understand things correctly, the "Linux media" folks has been cleaning up (or "cleaning up", if you so prefer) the API, leaving the serial driver inoperational. It is everything but a modern solution worthy of usage in 2017 anyhow. Here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=187222 is a related thread. I am not 100% sure if that it is exactly the reason that your driver broke, but in any case, its days are numbered. > the other uses > mceusb. This should be debuggable (possibly even usable?) without Lirc, using ir-keytable.
