How to identify irda device

[asieriko]

Hello,
I don't know if this list works anymore, but i write just in case
someone is reading.
I have known the project for long time ago, but now I have a irda
transmiter (mcs7780). I've compiled correctly the software, and I can
comunicate with my polar via irdadump. But the problem is that I can't
transfer files from my polar, I don't know what is the device I've to
pass to s710.
Now I'm running kubuntu 11.04, fresh install. I installed irda-utils,
and run
sudo irattach irda0 -s
then with
sudo irdadump irda0
I got response from the watch

07:20:17.046949 xid:cmd bf73925b > ffffffff S=6 s=2 (14)
07:20:17.146958 xid:cmd bf73925b > ffffffff S=6 s=3 (14)
07:20:17.246949 xid:cmd bf73925b > ffffffff S=6 s=4 (14)
07:20:17.339637 xid:rsp bf73925b < d8552bb3 S=6 s=4 Polar S725X
hint=8204 [ PDA/Palmtop IrCOMM ] (28)
07:20:17.346956 xid:cmd bf73925b > ffffffff S=6 s=5 (14)
07:20:17.446956 xid:cmd bf73925b > ffffffff S=6 s=* handia hint=0400
[ Computer ] (22)

But now i don't know how to use s710d, because I've tried several
devices (/dev/ircomm0,1,ttS1) and I get "no response" with s710sh, and
if I try s710d I does nothing.

Any tips?

Thank you in advance,

Asier

Hey,

I am still reading - but have not actually done anything and have not seem much action on the list at all.

So.....good luck! :)

Hello,

I have not looked into it for a while : I switched to Garmin+Mac ...

 

Digging into my memories, I think there is something on IRda about using the IRcomm protocol and not the more-usual IRlap

Apart from that hint, welll, I am ....useless

 

hope it helps,

I just got this working with my S710i and an MCS7780 based IR-USB dongle in IRDA mode.  There are a handful of code changes required. I'll be posting the work on github shortly as soon as I verify the functionality.

Fundamentally, in IRDA mode, the IRDA stack takes care of checksums, framing,, retrans, etc... and you talk to the device over a socket. It appears that the watch detects this and uses a slightly different protocol, so the file transfer code needed some tiny mods.

OK ... I just pushed the code to github.

The IRDA work is on the IRDA branch. New driver is called "irda" so run like "s710sh -d irda". I "irattach irda0 -s" first (I made a udev rule to do this for me).
Run "bootstrap" then configure as before.
