 |
|
Summary
The following doc is a brief overview of what I did to get the Treo 650 and gentoo to play nice together.

Kernel Configuration for USB and Bluetooth
Configuring your kernel for USB sync requires the USB -> serial visor module. On my laptop I'm using 2.6.10-gentoo-r7 but I'm sure some older 2.6 version will probably work allright too.
Enabling the visor option.
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
USB support --->
USB Serial Converter support --->
<*> USB Handspring Visor / Palm m50x / Sony Clie Driver
|
After restarting or loading your kernel modules, connect the sync cable and press the sync button. In your dmesg output you should see something like this:
| Code: |
usb 3-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usb 3-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1
|
Most applications use /dev/pilot so you will need to set up a sym link.
| Code: |
ln -s /dev/tts/USB1 /dev/pilot
|
For setting your Bluetooth hardware, read this guide:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_mobile_phone%2C_Bluetooth_and_GNOME
Syncing Your Treo with Evolution via USB
If you have enabled, you probably already have gnome-pilot installed. If not, install gnome-pilot:
Before running gnome-pilot for the first time, you need to add a user to your pda assuming you haven't synced it with anything else. If you already synced your treo with another os, you can skip this..
| Code: | | install-user username password |
Once you have installed a username, configure the device
| Code: | | gpilotd-control-applet |
Here are my setting for USB sync.
| Code: | | username /dev/pilot 115200 USB |
Add the gnome-pilot applet to one of your gnome-panels and click the icon to set up what you want to sync. To sync your palm simply press the sync button on the cable.
Bluetooth Sync **Coming Soon**
Bluetooth DUN
I was able to get bluetooth DUN working using components from this article:http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8185
Assuming you have a working and configured bluetooth adapter and bluetooth DUN enabled on your Treo's setup, you need to start by enabling ip port forwarding:
| Code: | | echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward |
The Linux journal guide suggests writing a little script for enabling DUN:
| Code: | | vim /usr/bin/treoconnect |
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
rfcomm bind all
rfcomm connect 1 00:00:00:00:00:00
|
The 00:00.. should be the mac address of your Treo. Make sure to chmod +x | Code: | | /usr/bin/treoconnect |
. For the actual PPP dialing, I use gnome-ppp. The modem device is .
For setting up DUN dialing for Cingular I used the following settings:
| Code: |
Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
Number: *99***1#
|
Current Issues
- gnome-pilot seems to only want to sync with the first calendar
- tasks syncing seems to crash or upload a 1000 blank tasks. A quick workaround is to only go from evo -> palm for tasks.
- Restarting the daemon seems to increase reliability.

I would recommend using jpliot to create a username for your treo. After creating a username/pass, add the information with gpilotd-control-applet

have a step closer:
| Code: | usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 16
usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
visor 4-1:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected
usb 4-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usb 4-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1
|
it's detected in lsusb:
| Code: | bash-2.05b# lsusb
Bus 004 Device 017: ID 0830:0061 Palm, Inc.
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 045e:000b Microsoft Corp. Natural Keyboard Elite
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I did create the symlink:
| Code: | ln -s /dev/tts/USB1 /dev/pilot
|
Have sync'd with other PC's successfully.
Any suggestions?  |

I just got my Treo 650 syncing with my laptop over USB. I had encountered some problems, but managed to work through them, so I figured I'd post what I did.
Basically, when I ran gpilotd-control-applet, and it asked me to hit the sync button, I'd do it, then gpilotd-control-applet would just sit there.
So, I tried using the gnome-pilot that's in ~x86, and then followed some of the instructions over at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-20971.html.
Specifically, the following needs to be added to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/devices.xml (which, by the way, doesn't seem to get installed non the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86 version):
| Code: | <!-- PalmOne -->
<!-- Treo 650 -->
<device vendor_id="0830" product_id="0061" /> |
After this, do a 'killall gpilotd', then re-run gpilotd-control-applet. From there, it seemed to work for me. |

To sync with jpilot, I need to:
start jpilot
press Hotsync button
wait 1-2 seconds
click Sync
wait 1-2 seconds
press Hotsync button again
it's a Treo 600, USB sync |
