Hey All, Infrared beaming in Palm =========================== It is said that earlier palm devices did not have a separate IR port. In such devices, the IrDA stack uses serial port for IR communication.
My question is - Does the PalmOS use the Serial Controller itself for IR communication in the cases where IR port is not available ? My udnerstanding of "hardware-aspect" of serial communication is rather weak.... Any system that has the serial capabilites has a Serial Controller ( so its an IC, is it ? ) Furthermore, on the devices that has a dedicated IR port also contain "some" chips that are able to emit IR light based on some controlling by the underlying processor. Is my understanding correct? Would anyone lemme know any URL where I can get a brief intro on this topic ?
