Funny coincidence - had the same problem today. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
My Palm is a Tungsten E without a craddle - just an USB cable. To be |
| 16 |
able to use that I need a couple of things: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
1. Kernel |
| 19 |
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m |
| 20 |
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y |
| 21 |
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR=m |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
2. Loading modules in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 with |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
visor vendor=0x0830 product=0x0060 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
That'll both load visor and usbserial. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
3. UDEV |
| 30 |
In /etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules: |
| 31 |
KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="tts/USB%n", GROUP="usb", MODE="0666" |
| 32 |
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB[13579]", |
| 33 |
SYMLINK="pilot", MODE="0666", GROUP="usb" |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
In /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-visor.permissions |
| 36 |
ttyUSB*:root:usb:0666 |
| 37 |
tts/[0-9]*:root:usb:0666 |
| 38 |
tts/USB[0-9]*:root:usb:0666 |
| 39 |
pilot:root:usb:0666 |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
4. Hotplug should have been emerged and running |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
5. Testing |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Now add your user(s) to the group usb, press Hotsync on your Palm device |
| 46 |
and check if /dev/tts/USB0 and /dev/tts/USB1 have been created by UDEV |
| 47 |
and a symlink /dev/pilot exists. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
If that's true run pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot --list while your Palm still |
| 50 |
is trying to hotsync. pilot-xfer should be able to connect now. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
If you're using Gnome I recommend using the gnome-pilot-applet. Works |
| 53 |
like a charm with Evolution. |
