Re: Ipod 5G serial
I guess for core serial transfers it should be fairly simple to keep things generic, ala: int set_set(int baud, int parity, int bits, int stop) // 9600N81 int ser_xmt(char* buffer, int buflen) int ser_rcv(char* buffer, int max, int timeout) int ser_poll(void) Maybe some: int ser_enable(void) int ser_disable(void) ...if you have interrupts Interrupt driven serial I/O may offer extra complications, but generically it's just: voidser_int(void) ...I would think And if it is a fully featured serial port, maybe some other pin level functions. You might find that a good place to look for more ideas is in a DOS interrupt reference (Ralf Brown's Interrupt List springs to mind) Beyond that you will need to decide what you will be doing with the interface and what things a programmer would like to say to that interface, such as: int usb_handshake(...) int usb_sendfile(...) ... etc. and take ir from there. Good Luck, BC i meant, tihnking about keeping it generic from the start...

Im holding out for hte 'true video ipod' which is suipposed to have bluetooth. Im hoping to be able to control it from an old bluetooth phone acting as a wireless LCD remote... g

Using the serial port you could get a gdb stub going, use it for debug outputs, make multi-player games and more... I did a bunch of looking around last night. It appears that rs232 is not impossible. I'm going to start with the Ipod Linux install, as I'm a linux person. Once I get the code working there, I'll post what I have here, in hopes that someone can help me put it into the rockbox code. -Joseph-
Ipod 5G serial
Is anyone working on the Ipod 5G serial interface at the moment? If so, where are you? Regardless, does anyone know where to start? Thanks, -Joseph-
