Hi everybody,
I'm trying to send data from one RaspPi to another with a 4Mbits/s IRDA dongle equiped with the MCS7780 chip.
I just installed the irda_utils package. The dongle is recognized :
| Code: |
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 9710:7780 MosChip Semiconductor MCS7780 4Mbps Fast IrDA Adapter
|
If I type "irdadump", the dongle sees each others but I don't have any device called "ircomm0" or "ttyS0" in the "dev" directory.
If I type "ifconfig", I've got this :
| Code: |
irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr ce:3e:05:69
UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1
RX packets:3303 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:3297 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:8
RX bytes:63573 (62.0 KiB) TX bytes:56883 (55.5 KiB)
|
How can I manage to communicate ?
Do I need to compile a new kernel with Irda option enabled ?
I managed to send a file from linux to windows with the "ircp" command but I can't send a file from windows to linux, that don't works.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Don't hesitate if you need more informations.
