Hello,
I am fighting now for a very long time to get my Palm T5 sync under
Linux. Unfortunately without any success, so maybe someone can
point me into the right direction. Ok, here is my setup:
1) kernel
Linux stonki 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 #3 SMP Thu Jan 12 21:24:53 CET 2006
x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD
GNU/Linux
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
2) Udev
sys-fs/udev-070-r1
# PalmOne Tungsten T3
BUS="usb",SYSFS{serial}="12345467893ABC",NAME="pilot",OWNER="root",GROUP="tty",MODE="0660"
#
# This works for one user's Handspring Visor. Put the desired user
in the "usb" group.
KERNEL="ttyUSB[01]*", NAME="tts/USB%n", GROUP="usb", MODE="0660"
3) System
stonki portage # rc-update -s | grep hotplug
hotplug | boot
So, an up-to-date Kernel with Visor support, Udev is installed and
the hotplug daemon is running
--------------------------
4) I am now connecting the T5 to the computer without (!) pressing
anything !
stonki portage # udevinfo -p /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB3 -a
[...]
DRIVER=="visor"
[...]
SYSFS{product}=="palmOne Handheld"
SYSFS{serial}=="504E35424D35543556305848"
5) I am creating a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d
tonki rules.d # cat 10-udev.rules
# PalmOne Tungsten
BUS="usb",SYSFS{serial}="504E35424D35543556305848",NAME="pilot",OWNER="root",GROUP="tty",MODE="0660"
#
# This works for one user's Handspring Visor. Put the desired user
in the "usb" group.
KERNEL="ttyUSB[0123]*", NAME="tts/USB%n", GROUP="usb", MODE="0660"
6) am using the unstable pilot-link version (the stable did not work
for me as well), but still no success:
a) I am attaching the T5 without (!) pressing the sync button.
In /var/log/messages it says:
Jan 21 18:44:22 stonki visor 2-1:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS
converter detected
Jan 21 18:44:22 stonki usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter
now attached to ttyUSB2
Jan 21 18:44:22 stonki usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter
now attached to ttyUSB3
b) a /dev/pilot gets created
stonki rules.d # ls -als /dev/pilot
0 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 188, 2 Jan 21 18:44 /dev/pilot
c) stonki rules.d # pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot --list
Listening for incoming connection on /dev/pilot...
d) Pressing Hotsync....
Jan 21 18:45:53 stonki visor 2-1:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS
converter detected
Jan 21 18:45:53 stonki usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter
now attached to ttyUSB4
Jan 21 18:45:53 stonki usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter
now attached to ttyUSB5
WHY I am getting USB4 and USB5 ?
e) of course it does NOT work....
any idea ?
Thanks Stonki
