F8x86_64 on the Acer Ferrari 3400LMi
13.5.5 Transfer files
The
Bluetooth OBEX Object Push client
may be used to transfer files from the
computer to your phone or other bluetooth device.
14 Infrared
IrDA support is provided by means of the package
irdautils
, so first make
sure that this package is installed on your system.
My first attempt started with changing the
DEVICE
in
/etc/sysconfig/irda
to
/dev/ttyS1
and fire up the IrDA service (
/etc/init.d/irda start
). Voilà!
Watching the log messages verified that all modules were loaded and I had got a
new device,
irda0
, to play with. The device showed up with
ifconfig
as well. It
was just too easy! And yes, although all looked perfect it did not work. Trying the
irdadump
reviled just a big silence.
14.1 Configuring IrDA
To make a long story short, the IRchip in the Ferrari supports FIR (as well as
SIR) and FIR is the default, while IrDA by default uses SIR. FIR is what you want
