Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am fighting now for a very long time to get my Palm T5 sync under |
| 4 |
Linux. Unfortunately without any success, so maybe someone can |
| 5 |
point me into the right direction. Ok, here is my setup: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1) kernel |
| 8 |
Linux stonki 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 #3 SMP Thu Jan 12 21:24:53 CET 2006 |
| 9 |
x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD |
| 10 |
GNU/Linux |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=y |
| 13 |
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR=y |
| 14 |
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
2) Udev |
| 17 |
sys-fs/udev-070-r1 |
| 18 |
# PalmOne Tungsten T3 |
| 19 |
BUS="usb",SYSFS{serial}="12345467893ABC",NAME="pilot",OWNER="root",GROUP="tty",MODE="0660" |
| 20 |
# |
| 21 |
# This works for one user's Handspring Visor. Put the desired user |
| 22 |
in the "usb" group. |
| 23 |
KERNEL="ttyUSB[01]*", NAME="tts/USB%n", GROUP="usb", MODE="0660" |
| 24 |
3) System |
| 25 |
stonki portage # rc-update -s | grep hotplug |
| 26 |
hotplug | boot |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So, an up-to-date Kernel with Visor support, Udev is installed and |
| 29 |
the hotplug daemon is running |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
-------------------------- |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
4) I am now connecting the T5 to the computer without (!) pressing |
| 34 |
anything ! |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
stonki portage # udevinfo -p /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB3 -a |
| 37 |
[...] |
| 38 |
DRIVER=="visor" |
| 39 |
[...] |
| 40 |
SYSFS{product}=="palmOne Handheld" |
| 41 |
SYSFS{serial}=="504E35424D35543556305848" |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
5) I am creating a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d |
| 45 |
tonki rules.d # cat 10-udev.rules |
| 46 |
# PalmOne Tungsten |
| 47 |
BUS="usb",SYSFS{serial}="504E35424D35543556305848",NAME="pilot",OWNER="root",GROUP="tty",MODE="0660" |
| 48 |
# |
| 49 |
# This works for one user's Handspring Visor. Put the desired user |
| 50 |
in the "usb" group. |
| 51 |
KERNEL="ttyUSB[0123]*", NAME="tts/USB%n", GROUP="usb", MODE="0660" |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
6) am using the unstable pilot-link version (the stable did not work |
| 54 |
for me as well), but still no success: |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
a) I am attaching the T5 without (!) pressing the sync button. |
| 57 |
In /var/log/messages it says: |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |

c) stonki rules.d # pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot --list |
| 73 |
Listening for incoming connection on /dev/pilot... |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
d) Pressing Hotsync.... |

|
| 84 |
