Hello all,
it seems that the IrDA implementation on the Newton (2.1 devices) is not
completely braindead after all. I have a first hack of TinyTP and IrCOMM
working, it's however in the very very early stages. The only
uncertainty is the packeting of data but it looks like the packet size
can be derived directly from the IrDA receive buffer size.
Next steps: complete IrCOMM and test TinyTP and IrCOMM. Then the big
challenge: Disguise the whole thing as a serial chip to make it a system
wide available serial port (e.g. to hook up to a cell phone modem).
Question to Paul G. in this matter: would implementing a TSerialChip
protocol do the trick? That would probably be easy...
Stay tuned,
Eckhart
