How can I ensure that my embedded devices IrDA application is compatible with third party IrDA supported devices?
The only way to guarantee successful interoperability between any two devices is to test this requirement before releasing your product. The IrDA Interoperability Test Plan categorizes a list of device classes where each class is expected to provide minimal IrDA application protocol support. For example, a printer must be able to be printed to using IrLPT. A certification of “Ir-Ready” is granted to products that have successfully passed the minimal interoperability requirements for a given device class by an approved IrDA test lab. The test lab uses certified IrDA reference products when testing a given product for interoperability within a class. You should test your product against a reference product before submitting your product to a test lab.
