IR Remote

Power On via IR

The S1-AT5NM10E supports power-on via IR from off or suspend/hibernate state out of the box using the integrated IR receiver. Just use any MCE remote and make sure you have the lates BIOS version (401) and "Power On Remote Control" is set.

LIRC

The IR chipset is the same as the chipset used on the ION330. Unfortunately the ASRock Drivers won't really work well [1]. Here's a method to get this working (at least one time for a rebooot) under Live (Ubuntu 10.04):

wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nct677x-dkms/lirc-nct677x-src_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb 
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nct677x-dkms/nct677x-dkms_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb 
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4325533/lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb 

sudo dpkg -i nct677x-dkms_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb 
sudo dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-src_1.0.4-1yavdr1_all.deb 
sudo dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb 

select Nuvoton Transceivers/Remotes and None for the second page. 

sudo reboot

You have to do a

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc

every time after rebooting the machine.
