Hello,
I thought the USB MFC was a good time to try again synchronizing my PDA.
It is a Sony Cli� PEG-SJ22 running PalmOS�4.1. I'm trying to access it
using the uvisor driver (1.7.2.9 2004/04/04) and coldsync (2.2.5 from
ports) using a setup which works under Linux (Debian Sarge with 2.4 and
2.6 kernels) but, to be clear, never did with FreeBSD (STABLE). And I'm
afraid it still doesn't with 4.10-BETA.
It goes like this: first I tap Hotsync on the Cli�, so that it attaches
itself as a USB device, then either usbd takes over or I start coldsync
manually. Here is an extract from /var/log/messages:
Apr 11 21:42:51 krakatoa /kernel: ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr
2
Apr 11 21:42:51 krakatoa /kernel: ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr
2
Apr 11 21:43:52 krakatoa /kernel: ucom0: at uhub0 port 2 (addr 2) disconnected
Apr 11 21:43:52 krakatoa /kernel: ucom0: detached
For usbd, with the following in /etc/usbd.conf:
device "Sony Clie"
devname "ucom[0-9]+"
vendor 0x054c
product 0x0066
attach "/usr/local/bin/coldsync -md -p /dev/${DEVNAME} -t usb"
I get these messages:
krakatoa ~ % sudo /usr/sbin/usbd -d -v
Password:

And if I try coldsync manually:
krakatoa ~ % coldsync -v
Please press the HotSync button.
netsync_read: read: Input/output error
Error: Can't connect to Palm.
tcdrain: Input/output error
The error messages are displayed as the device detaches; coldsync hangs
at "press the HotSync button", which I can't do since I don't have an
external cradle and the HotSync application on the Cli� won't let me tap
the icon while it's trying to connect. And if I try to start coldsync
before the HotSync, it exits right away with:
krakatoa ~ % coldsync -v
Error: Can't open "/dev/ucom0".
open: Device not configured
Error: Can't open connection.
The /usr/local/etc/palms file seems correct, and my .coldsyncrc reads:
listen serial {
protocol: simple;
device: /dev/ucom0;
}
pda "skrode" {
snum: <serial#>
directory: /home/ware/.palm;
username: "skrode";
userid: <uid>;
default;
}
This is the same file as with Linux (except "device: /dev/ttyUSB1;"),
but I tried many combinations ("listen usb" instead of "listen serial",
"protocol: net" instead of "protocol: simple", setting the speed...)
and the end result is the same, although the error messages do change
sometimes. More information on request.
The pilot-xfer program has exactly the same behavior ("Please press the
HotSync button now...") except that it doesn't exit when the Cli� times
out and detaches.
This happens both with the GENERIC kernel and a customized one, either
with "device ucom" and "device uvisor", or loading them as modules.
This is all with last Friday's STABLE; I believe I had tried with 5.1
or 5.2 in January, without success, but I don't have a CURRENT machine
at hand to check now.
Should I try something else? Any idea to make it work?
Thanks,
Cedric Ware.
