As infrared data communications,based on standards from the Infrared Data Association (IrDA), become widely available on personal computers and peripherals,a timely opportunity exists for effective and inexpensive short range wireless communications on embedded systems and devices of all types.The IrDA standards were developed rapidly (compared to most standards organizations), and information on the IrDA protocols has not yet reached every corner of the embedded systems universe. This paper gives an overview of the IrDA protocols with comments on their use in embedded environments. The Infrared Data Association (IrDA)is an industry-based group of over 150 companies that have developed communication standards especially suited for low cost,short range,cross-platform,point-to-point communications at a wide range of speeds. These standards have been implemented on various computer platforms and more recently have become available for many embedded applications.Because of their wide acceptance,the IrDA specifications are now on an accelerated track for adoption as ISO standards.
