 |
|
Hello All,
I have a Treo 680 that used to sync with evolution and it has stopped working. Udev recognizes the device and uses my custom udev rule to creates the /dev/pilot node:
| Code: | KERNELS=="ttyUSB[135]", DRIVERS=="visor", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb-serial", NAME="pilot", GROUP="usb", MODE="0770"
pico@meerkat ~ $ ls -l /dev/pilot
crwxrwx--- 1 root usb 188, 1 2008-02-24 14:06 /dev/pilot |
but when I attempt to use any communication software (pilot-xfer or evolution) the connection just times-out when I hit the hotsync button, neither the palm nor the PC are seeing communication from the other device.
I am currently re-emerge pilot-link, gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-conduits with the USE flag "debug" added to see if I can get more info from the software.
Does anyone have any suggestions? How do it get more info about the attempted communication into my log files? What should I be looking for? Are there suggestions for settings to check on the Palm device?
Thanks in advance,

I am having the same issue. I noticed it is actually an issue with pilot-link. I can't even get pilot-link backup working. Both sides seem not to see each other even though both are listening on the same dev (ttyUSB1). I am using a Cingular/AT&T Treo 680.

I still have had no luck with it. I'm still taking shots in the dark. I know it seems to be software issue. I am able to sync in Windows, but I can't get it to work in linux.

I solved my issue, and I think this will solve your issue. Apparently pilot-link changed some of it syntax in the how you can access the USB based palms/treos. I didn't see any documentation of it. I found my fix in this mailing list article while googling around: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-June/117864.html[/url].
So basically, pilot-link now can use the libusb library instead of the kernel module. So instead of putting the device file name in the port use "usb:"
example:
| Code: | | pilot-xfer --backup=/tmp -p usb: |
