We have an embedded microprocessor that uses an SPI bus to connect
to a MAX3100 UART which then connects to a MAX3120 IrDA
transceiver/driver.
Eventually, there will be a similar (but different, not yet
developed) microprocessor, UART. and driver on the other end of the IR
link.
We're hoping to create a simple optical replacement for a two-wire
RS-232 link. There will be no need for network protocols since only 1
Tx/Rx will ever be able to see more than 1 other Tx/Rx.
Since only one end of the link presently exists, we'd like to use
an ordinary laptop with its IrDA capability to allow a program like
Hyperterminal to substitute an IrDA port for the regular COM:x hardware
port that it already knows how to use.
Alternatively, would it make things simpler to get a
serial-to-IrDA adapter like the ACTiSYS ACT-IR220L?
