I am trying to get my Linux installation to talk to my Palm Vx via IR.
I was following the i8100 threadrecently and gave it a go.
I have compiled the IR support into the kernel (2.4.14) and irtty as a
module.
if I do:
#irattach /dev/ttyS3
my palm shows the "Waiting for sender..." window and irdump gives...
~# irdadump
05:44:25.336704 xid:cmd 71b55e9c > ffffffff S=6 s=0 (14)
05:44:25.426703 xid:cmd 71b55e9c > ffffffff S=6 s=1 (14)
05:44:25.516698 xid:cmd 71b55e9c > ffffffff S=6 s=2 (14)
05:44:25.606705 xid:cmd 71b55e9c > ffffffff S=6 s=3 (14)
05:44:25.606692 xid:rsp 71b55e9c < 567dc24c S=6 s=2 Simon J.P. Wong
hint=8220 [ PDA/Palmtop IrOBEX ] (32)
05:44:25.696698 xid:cmd 71b55e9c > ffffffff S=6 s=4 (14)
05:44:25.786699 xid:cmd 71b55e9c > ffffffff S=6 s=5 (14)
05:44:25.876700 xid:cmd 71b55e9c > ffffffff S=6 s=* lonewolf
hint=0400 [ Computer ] (24)
It seems to find the device OK:
~# cat /proc/net/irda/discovery
IrLMP: Discovery log:
nickname: Simon J.P. Wong, hint: 0x8220, saddr: 0x71b55e9c, daddr:
0x567dc24c
However, when I then try and start pilot-xfer:
$ pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyS3 -l
Unable to bind to port /dev/ttyS3
pi_bind: Device or resource busy
If I kill off the irattach process and try to start pilot-xfer:
$ pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyS3 -l
Port: /dev/ttyS3
Please press the HotSync button now...
It just sits there until I ctrl-c and kill it.
I have read the Infrared-HOWTO and the tutorial and googled but can't
find any more tips.
I'm also having problems with it sometimes NOT even doing this :-( (like
right at the moment).
Any tips on people's experiences would be very much appreciated.
TIA.
