Hello all,
I have some hardware running Linux that has a CIR (Consumer IR) port with both RX and TX using the Vishay Semiconductors TSOP852 IR receiver module for RX. There is a CIR driver that creates a character device /dev/cir where you can read/write data which is then converted to/from IR.
Looking at LIRC, it seems to target IrDA instead of CIR - I don't see support for CIR anywhere. The homebrew driver uses the serial port, but in the case of CIR in my hardware there is no serial port, it has its own port with FIFOs and DMA support.
Is there a way to integrate the existing CIR driver into LIRC in order to send/receive remote control commands? Basically I just need LIRC to read/write to /dev/cir to send/receive IR commands. Would this be possible? Feasible? Or am I better off writing my own userspace application for this purpose?
Any help, ideas, comments, direction or criticism welcome!
Thanks,
Sig
