Hi all,

New to the list so just a wee hi :o) oh and a big question! I apologise for the length!

Question:

I've got a rim blackberry 7230, and I would be interested in getting it to talk to 
linux and freebsd. I've spent the last week reading the usb specs etc. And lots of usb 
source code, and I gotta say the usb code is actually quite comprehensible :o)

Anyway I know the basics from other modules I've written, so I've got my skeletal usb 
driver claiming the vendor/product I'd when connected in 2.6.8

I've been using usb snoopy on windows to trap the comms between the desktop manager 
software for blackberry on windows and the device, and so far everytime, usb snoopy 
records the same transactions from the device on connection, so I suspect by just 
spitting this data sequence out at the blackberry I can create a connection.

Now where do I go from here?

Rim are not very forthcomming with information, and the licence for desktop manager 
says I can't decompile it, to see how to talk to this device.

Usb snoopy seems to only record the control pipe, is this all I need? How would I then 
read / write from the device?

I suspect it may emulate a serial port in some way, just purely because their previous 
devices have all been serial affairs.

In this case could I just base most of it on the ipaq driver or similar? How could I 
confirm my suspicions?

Any help / pointers appreciated.

Regards,

Craig
