 |
|
Hello,
please have a look also at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1650398
My serial port seems broken, but under winXP it runs.
My Palm Vx is recognized but can't be read:
| Code: |
pilot-xfer -L
No $PILOTPORT specified and no -p <port> given.
Defaulting to '/dev/pilot'
Listening to port: /dev/pilot
Please press the HotSync button now... Connected
PADP TX Unexpected packet, possible port speed problem?
|
| Code: |
coldsync -v -p /dev/tts/0 -t serial -mb ~/palmbackup/
Please press the HotSync button.

Error establishing CMP connection.

My chipdrive Micro fun don't work also:

The serial port seems to work with the kernel:
dmesg
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 8 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
My Hardware:
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe (onboard serial)
Kernel:
gentoo-dev-sources - 2.6.8-gentoo-r8
udev is running (I hope) 
/dev/pilot --> /dev/tts/0
I don't know what to do!
What settings for the Kernel are important?
Is /dev/tts/0 correct? Is it the same as ttyS0?
If you want have a look at my kernel-settings:

Anybody any idea?
Hopefully

Maybe this is helpful. I found the setserial - command:
setserial /dev/tts/0
/dev/tts/0, UART: 16450, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
Can somebody tell me if UART is correct? |

Hi again,
i tried the cd-Linux knoppix 3.6 and the palm-pilot works.
but setserial sais:
| Code: |
setserial /dev/pilot
/dev/pilot, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
|
So i'll try to set this UART-thing.
Can anybody tell me what that means???? |

This worked:
setserial /dev/pilot uart 16550A
With the other uart the palm-sync runs. |
