[Ina M. <cel...@ea...>]

I need to develop a Linux driver for a remote control infrared receiver =
(consumer IR). Basically, the overview of the receiver hardware is this: =
an infrared receiver module (Vishay TSOP4838) is connected to a General =
Purpose I/O(GPIO) of the processor. The IR input of the processor only =
supports the NEC IR format.

I=92ve tried to search the net for existing IR drivers and I came across =
the LIRC package. I noticed that the LIRC has GPIO support for TV Card =
remote control drivers. I=92d like to ask if LIRC is suitable for this =
project.

I=92m quite new with Infrared technology but am fairly familiar with the =
Linux driver structure, in general. I would appreciate any input or =
suggestion as to how to approach the IR driver development of the =
project.

Thank you.
