 |
|
Hi all,
I am trying to set up a chat script with my P800 sony/ericsson phone. I want to use something like minicom to see what the phone requires in the chat script. However when I launch minicom it doesn't list /dev/tts/USB0 in the drop down box of available port to connect to.
I am using linux kernel 2.6.6 with UDEV. I can see that the other tts devices are owned by the logged in user and the group is tty. The USB0 device is owned by root and group usb.
Any help appreciated.
thanks |

Can't you just do a "cat /dev/tts/USB0"?

Is this correct?: Normally there is no device "/dev/tts/USB0",
but when you attach your P800, then "/dev/tts/USB0" is created?
(presumably by UDEV)
I don't fully understand the situation, but I'll risk a thought:
Perhaps could create a permanent symlink
| Code: |
ln -sf /dev/tts/USB0 /dev/P800 |
and then teach (i.e, configure) `minicom' about device
"/dev/P800", which is persistent.
