Can a Infrad receiver be connected to the blackfin 561 using the 
UART port ?? Is it possible ??

So that i can control the blackfin board using a infrad remote 
controller. Baiscally, I need more buttons to use then the restrict 
4 push buttons.

If possible is there any examples ?

I knw that the UART port is used to connect to the serial port of 
the pc.

Hmm.. if the infrad implementation cant work.

Can someone give me some idea or tell me how can I use the UART to 
do some meaningful project out of it.

Well currently, i am enhancing my project and wanting to extend the 
hardware capability.

Thanks whoever can input me with some lights on. :)
