about the Infra red attached kb it seems to me the story is a bit more complicate and complex than what we was expecting akita has the /dev/ttyS1 attached to a SIR chip which encodes and decodes date: well, this chip talks serially to the pxa.uart1, but it wants a bit of more handling than a simple uart port ...
maybe any ircomm-(tty??) workaround is possible ? anybody has ever tried this way ? i have to confess i do not know Ir very well, i have enjoyed the linux appeal recently, so i miss all the old fashion at all ... i mean Irda looks 2.4 kernel fashion, when wifi was a dream for expensive devices, today is cheap, so everybody prefers wifi to Irda (which is more complicate and which provides slower data rate ...) yeah, i am too young for Irda, and i always used to attach an hardware serial uart to infrared bidirectional converter (encoder/decoder, mostly made by PIC microcontroller, or dedicated chip ), in order to wireless infra red transmit and receive data (at slow data rate, 4800bps, 9600bps) so ... i am really thinking about un soldering my akita SIR chip, replacing it with a simple manchester enc/dec directly connected to Ir led/ Ir photo transistor =P p.s. the DTS signal &C are pretty good to be used with LIRC (anybody want an Ir remote control for akita? - it seems that is the right time i can experience the apple Ir remote control =P) _______________________________________________ Zaurus-devel mailing list Zaurus-devel@lists.linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zaurus-devel
