Misc - I have an ACTiSYS IR4000US-KD USB IrDA bridge which is actually Sigmatel inside. I would like to use this to transfer files to and from my Handspring Visor. My problem is that this IrDA/USB bridge device is only configured on a ugen device, while the birda utils are not able to attach to a ugen device but only to a serial device such as a tty.
My assumption is that I either need a tty device on which to talk with the IrDA bridge using a userspace program, or that there exists a userspace utility that knows how to talk to the device via ugen. Below is some relevant information and what I have tried. What should my next steps be to use this device to communicate with other devices over IrDA? $ uname -a OpenBSD paddy.my.domain 5.9 GENERIC.MP#1888 amd64 Relevant lines from dmesg: ugen1 at uhub3 port 1 "Sigmatel Inc IrDA/USB Bridge" rev 1.10/0.08 addr 2 Relevant line from usbdevs -v: port 1 addr 2: full speed, power 440 mA, config 1, IrDA/USB Bridge(0x4200), Sigmatel Inc(0x066f), rev 0.08 When I try to use ircomm, installed from the OpenBSD 5.9 package repository (inst:birda-1.1p1), it of course fails because I am trying to use it with a ugen device: $ id uid=1000(justin) gid=1000(justin) groups=1000(justin), 0(wheel) $ ls -al /dev/ugen1 /dev/ugen1.00 /dev/ugen1.01 ls: /dev/ugen1: No such file or directory crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 63, 16 May 14 00:07 /dev/ugen1.00 crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 63, 17 May 14 00:07 /dev/ugen1.01 $ ircomm -d /dev/ugen1 Bad serial port $ ircomm -d /dev/ugen1.01 Bad serial port $ ircomm -d /dev/ugen1.02 Bad serial port $
