This error is coming back from uvisor.c which is part of the Kernel. The init function is there to initialise the device and get the USB Serial endpoints back... I recently fixed this for a range of Sony CLIE devices but that fix was Sony vendor code specific and wouldn't touch this device.
There are essentially two commands performed for most init scenarios depending upon the device type that the palm device maps as... either a vendor command 3 for VISOR type devices or a vendor command 4 for PALM4 type devices... this is selected from a table of device mappings in the uvisor driver. If these commands fail you normally see a stalled message coming back from init. The uvisor driver then typically goes on to query the free space of the device and this command on the Sony CLIE returns a TIMEOUT so it is possible that is what is happening here. I don't actually have a LifeDrive but would suggest that if anyone has one they take a look at the uvisor.c source and try quitting the init function before the Free Space check.. I know for a fact that the free space checks on the CLIE put the USB Serial endpoints to sleep anyway which is why in my patch once a CLIE is detected we skip these checks. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/usb/uvisor.c pilot-link is a different matter, it will probably work once the USB Serial mapping is up across cuaUxx. -Andy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Antoine Jacoutot Sent: 17 March 2006 15:38 To: openbsd-misc Subject: Re: Problem with uvisor0, comms/pilot-link, and LifeDrive, on i386 Selon Andreas Kahari <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > First of all, when I connect the USB cable to my LifeDrive, I get the > following lines in my dmesg (see last in this message for full dmesg): > > uvisor0 at uhub2 port 1 > uvisor0: palmOne, Inc. palmOne Handheld, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 5 > > These are followed after 4 to 5 seconds by > > uvisor0: init failed, TIMEOUT Hi. I've been seeing the exact same behaviour here. As I sync my LifeDrive using WiFi, I did not further investigate this problem. Do you have a Linux box around (or a live CD) to see if it works with it (or maybe pilot-link USB sync does not work withe this model yet) ? As soon as I have time for this, I'll have a look at it. -- Antoine
