I have downloaded pilot-link 0.11.7 and built it on cygwin. Now I'm
trying to figure out how to access the usb cradle. Most of the pilot
commands take a '-p <port>' parameter. I've tried various devices,
first, the default device /dev/pilot:
==> ./pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -b ttt
ERROR: No such file or directory (2)
The device /dev/pilot does not exist..
Possible solution:
mknod /dev/pilot c <major> <minor>
Unable to bind to port: /dev/pilot
Please use --help for more information
==>
Another attempt:
==> ./pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyS0 -b ttt
Listening to port: /dev/ttyS0
Please press the HotSync button now...
just waited and waited. I pressed HotSync, and the Visor eventually
timed out. I had to kill the bash process. '/dev/com1' behaved the
same as '/dev/ttyS0'. Most other attempts I made, from various hints
when I searched this archive, linux help (I know they're different; I
was just after hints), and the web via Google failed just like
'/dev/pilot'. Some of these were
/dev/com2
/dev/ttyS1
/dev/usb/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/usb/ttys/0
/dev/ttys/0
Of course, I've assumed what I'm attempting is possible, but that I
just don't know how to address the device. Can anyone help, please?
BTW- some cygwin and Google searches that did not give me an answer
(or where I overlooked an answer):
usb device in cygwin
usb port in cygwin
usb
cygwin device
cygwin mount usb device
Thanks.
