Mapping Multiple IRDA Ports to Virtual Com Ports

Anonymous — Wed, 02 Jun 2004 19:56:25 -0000

I have an application which requires one computer with
four IRDA Ports. These IRDA Adapters are enumerated
by Windows XP Pro in the Device Manager to the IRDA
Section as I add them. I need to Mao each IRDA Port to
it's own Virtual com port. I have four USB to IRDA
Adapters. The driver software allows for only one of the
IRDA adapters to have a virtual com port mapped to it
at a time. Is it possible to detect multiple IRDA ports
and allow the user to select a Com port for each one
during installation?

IrDA Ultra support

Anonymous — Mon, 01 Mar 2004 00:32:30 -0000

The IrDA ultra protocol allows for one-way transmission
of several hundred bytes of data. It is useful for low-
cost IR beacons, and other low-cost data transmission
tags.

A more detailed discussion of the utility of the IrDA ultra
protocol can be seen at the HP "Cooltown" project site.

Detour used to hook file functions in user mode

Have you considered implementing IrCOMM2k as a
purely user mode dll? A user mode dll is simpler to
manage in many ways than a kernel mode driver.

In the code that I have attached, I experimented with the
detours library available at

http://research.microsoft.com/sn/detours/

and, it looks like it is straightforward to do.
