Using LIRC to transmit/send/produce IR signals using GPIOs on Orange Pi with Armbian ?

Hello.

People who use Raspberry Pi can load ready to use drivers. They are rPi
spécific.

For Armbian/Orange, I have found the "cir" overlay that handles reception
only; the overlay does not seem to include transmission.

Most tutorials for classic computers assume a dedicated port, like serial,
or USB device; those tutorials are not usable for GPIOs. I have found some
Arduino and OpenWRT tutorials, but they don't work for me.

I will try to find the source code for cir, reverse engineer it, and try
to write a new overlay, or, add a send section to the existing one.

If nobody every done that in the past, I have to rescue solutions:

(which can use pigpio to send IR signals).

Thanks.
