Has anyone tried using the infrared support built into the SAMD21 UART? I smoked my Zero recently so I can't test this out until I get a new board.
Is there such a thing? Can you provide some documentation?
I have a MKR1000 and I'm facing the issue that currently there seems to be no supported library for Infrared. Since the Zero and the MKR1000 have the same processor this topic might be interesting for me as well...
agno:

start with the samd21 data sheet, section 25 page 440. sorry i dont have any sample code or hardware to test. but that's the documentation.
I can find no such reference in the datasheet.
Section 26.6.3.3 on page 472 of the data sheet has the information.
What are you expecting it to do? "Infrared" support on serial interfaces is usually IRDA, which isn't much used any more (but was relatively easy to implement, since it involves mostly shortening one-bit output times.)
It won't do anything for the more common Infrared remote control protocols 
As you said that's not really useful. I just saw this post and wondered what was talking about.
