Infrared Nuvoton w836x7hg - TX possible?

Infrared Nuvoton w836x7hg - TX possible?

[rayquaza-intermittent-comb]

Morning,

I want to automate some weird things and I have an old intel thing with such an infrared chip around.
Lirc freshly installed on Debian finds the device and receives stuff from remotes. But lirc says the hardware can not transmit. Could this be by config or does that mean the hardware is definitely not capable of transmitting?

The nuvoton device can transmit, but the driver doesn't support it.

As far as I am aware there is no hardware available where the tx is actually
usable because there is no way of connecting anything for transmit, i.e. the
tx pin is just unconnected.

Is your transmit connected somehow?

Thank you!

If there is actually sending circuitry, connected, I'll see when I take the box apart. But propably not this month.
