26.1 PCI6000 IrDa - Infrared File Transfer
As infrared data communications, based on standards from the Infrared Data Association
(IrDa), become widely available on computers and peripherals, a timely opportunity exists
for effective EMC neutral and inexpensive short range wireless communications on embed-
ded systems and devices of all types. The IrDa standards were developed rapidly (com-
pared to most standards organizations), and information on the IrDA protocols has not yet
reached every corner of the embedded systems universe. This paper gives an overview of
the IrDA protocols with comments on their use in embedded environments performing file
transfer between 2 PC's i.e. from PCI6000 to a laptop PC.
