Title: OZ 3.5.1 how to beam ?
Post by: masterzen on November 08, 2004, 05:48:27 pm: After a week of running OZ3.5.1 (and several flashing operations), I'm very pleased :-)
Almost everything works (sometimes with some fiddling, hence the 'unstable' status).
I was jsut wondering how to activate IR beam ?
The IR applet does not seem to do anything on my SL-5600.
Do I need a special app/module ?
Then after that, is there any option to beam a file or contact in OPIE ?

Thanks,
Brice

run "irattach /dev/ttyS0"

then it should work

install openobex-apps
it seems openobex-apps is not part of the OZ feed ?
There is only libopenobex...
Can I build it with OE (I don't have the environment at home to verify).

On a side note, it seems to lack lirc-modules too.

Thanks,

Brice

Post by: marsupilami23 on November 29, 2004, 11:18:24 pm: Ninsei, can you beam files back and forth between the Z and something else? or are you using the IRda port for something else?
