There's nothing particularly unusual about the drivers, but many of them start up as usb-storage to provide the Windows driver, then need to be switched over to usb-serial mode to do the comms. This seems to cover most models, but I don't know if it's been tried on ARM yet. http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
