index | next in thread | raw e-mail
I'm looking for information/help getting my world set up such that I
can hotsync my Palm Pilot to my laptop.
Palm: Palm Vx OS v3.3
Laptop: Sony Vaio PCG-Z505JE
OS: FreeBSD 4.7p3
I'm currently synching over a serial port using gpilotd from ports:
gnomepilot-0.1.71
gnomepilot-conduits-0.9
pilot-link-0.11.7_1
and I've been messing about with
birda-1.00
So far, I've built a kernel that {mis,}recognizes the IrDA device on
IO_COM3 and irq 10, although it claimes it's "type 16550A", which
doesn't sound too happy.
sio1 at port 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 10 on isa0
sio1: type 16550A
I've tried a couple of variations on commands that I've found in the
birda man pages (e.g. irs, irobex), w/out any luck. The thing is, I'm
not even sure what's going on.
I've found some threads from July 2000 in the netbsd's kernel-tech
mailing list that talk about IrDA, but it's not clear what happened
and/or how relevant it is.
So, can anyone out there in -mobile land comment on:
- how do I make hotsynching work in this situation?
ok, that's a little broad, so:
- how should a laptop's irda device show up in dmesg? sio or???
- are the various irda protocol things somewhere in the kernel, or
do they all happen up in userland (e.g. birda)?
- when gpilotd claims to be able to support IrDA, how much help does
it need from the kernel, or birda, or???
- Is my palmOS v. 3.3 current enough for this all to work, or do I
need something newer (e.g. an update, or the 4-ish upgrade)?
- Any pointers on how I might debug the situation?
