I haven't tried this on an Assabet, but have done it on ADS Strong ARM boards. I am using 2.4.9. There were bugs in 2.4.9 irda drivers that kept ircomm from being reliable. I down loaded 2.4.18 and copied the irda drivers and include files to 2.4.9 then applied the patches from Jean's site:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/IrDA/irDA.html See the links to the patches under "Patches pending..." Prior to that I had tried 2.4.16 with no better luck than 2.4.9. The 2.4.18 patched drivers work great with ircomm, but there are still problems with irnet. Some hints that I found useful from various sources: Use modules, don't build the drivers into the kernel (built-in might work, I haven't tried yet). Load the modules in the following order: irda.o ircomm.o ircomm-tty.o sa1100_ir.o You will not need the irtty.o or irport.o modules (the sa1100_ir.o takes care of the physical layer). Note that you will have to comment out the sa1100_register_uart call for the uart (2) that is used by irda and figure out how to power on the irda hardware (assuming here that assabet is similar to the ADS boards, but it looks like the uart is not registered in assabet.c so you can probably ignore that part). Then irattach irda0 -s 1 echo 57600 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_baud_rate # 115 might work too echo 4 > /proc/sys/net/irda/debug # if you want to get debugging messages cat /proc/net/irda/discovery will show if the 2 boards see each other. Then something like this on one of the assabets /sbin/getty -L ircomm0 38400 vt100 And this on the other one run: minicom or kermit.
