 |
|
I can't figure out how to get my clie to sync up at all.
I get a minimal read out when I have it plugged in and I hit the hotsync button:
| Code: | ender dev # lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 054c:0169 Sony Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 |
and
| Code: | ender dev # dmesg | grep usb

I can only surmise that I'm piling up those unclaimed devices because I'm not doing anything meaningful when my computer starts talking to the clie...? I surmise that I've got to get an "active driver" (what is that?) to claim the USB device when it is created. Is it udev that automatically assigns those things?
I hit sync on the clie, then on j-pilot and it sits there and doesn't do anything else. I eventually want to sync with some other program, but I can't even figure out j-pilot. I think my problem is more in not understanding how USB interfaces with the kernel or something... plus I really have no idea how udev works... let alone hotplug. That's for another day.
I don't get the seemingly standard /dev/ttyUSB* devices available when I hit sync on the clie. They're physically present in /dev (whether the clie is trying to sync or not), but nothing happens when I point j-pilot to them. Supposedly I'm supposed to get some readout on dmesg that the clie has been bound to a particular device, but I can't see that in the output I get.
Could someone please at least point me in the right direction? I've read all the howtos I could find on the forums, but most of them assume one can effectively sync their PDA already and want to do something more complicated. If there's a thread I've missed please point me there... thank you thank you. |

I made some progress ... there's been more activity on the forum since you posted. I've gathered all the links
into one for my post.

I used the "compile in" option rather than the "loadable modules" approach. I don't need "udev" at all.
Looking at your dmesg, I'm guessing you don't have the serial converter or the Visor support compiled in
(and probably you don't have the modules either, but you won't need them if you compile in.)
Read my post and look particularly about what to do in make menuconfig. I'm still not all the way there, but I
got a good backup of all my files tonight, so I think I'm real close to a sync.
