http://lirc.org/ would be a good start. It already handles about any remote control types. For file exchanges and other unusual things, then a dedicated third party app would be acceptable, and in no way should delay the release.
There maybe are things to leverage from the N900 which had such an IR port it seems (I don't own one), like this : http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37655
but looking at this thread it looks like even the N900 doesn't have irDA, so no file exchange possible : http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44217
Chen, not that it matters to me, but are you preparing IR for use as a remote, or with irDA to allow higher level protocols like file transfers (which I never seen on any electronic device I own...) ? And would it be bi-directional (to allow recording ?) ?
Also, and maybe more importantly, what resources do you have for software development ? I understand that Sailfish would be sub-contracted to Jolla, but if you are to release also a basic AOSP version, by who would it be done ? |
