The Nuvoton SIO CIR (System I/O Consumer IR) Device Driver is a software driver that facilitates the interaction between your operating system (like Windows) and a hardware device on your motherboard or expansion card that supports consumer infrared (CIR) functionality. CIR is typically used for infrared communication, often to control remote devices like TVs, set-top boxes, or other home entertainment systems, and it works with remote control units.
Nuvoton is a company that designs and manufactures semiconductor products, and their SIO (System I/O) chips are commonly found in motherboards and embedded systems. The SIO CIR functionality enables the motherboard or system to communicate with an IR receiver for things like media control via a remote control.
