^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 5) Introduction
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 6) ============
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) The USB serial driver currently supports a number of different USB to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) serial converter products, as well as some devices that use a serial
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) interface from userspace to talk to the device.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) See the individual product section below for specific information about
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) the different devices.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) Configuration
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17) =============
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) Currently the driver can handle up to 256 different serial interfaces at
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) one time.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 21)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 22) The major number that the driver uses is 188 so to use the driver,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 23) create the following nodes::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24)

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) When the device is connected and recognized by the driver, the driver
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) will print to the system log, which node(s) the device has been bound
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) to.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 58) -----------------------------------------------
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 59)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 60) This driver works with all HandSpring USB, Palm USB, and Sony Clié USB
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 61) devices.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 62)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 63) Only when the device tries to connect to the host, will the device show
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 64) up to the host as a valid USB device. When this happens, the device is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 65) properly enumerated, assigned a port, and then communication _should_ be
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 66) possible. The driver cleans up properly when the device is removed, or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 67) the connection is canceled on the device.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 68)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 69) NOTE:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 70) This means that in order to talk to the device, the sync button must be
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 71) pressed BEFORE trying to get any program to communicate to the device.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 72) This goes against the current documentation for pilot-xfer and other
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 73) packages, but is the only way that it will work due to the hardware
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 74) in the device.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 75)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 76) When the device is connected, try talking to it on the second port
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 77) (this is usually /dev/ttyUSB1 if you do not have any other usb-serial
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 78) devices in the system.) The system log should tell you which port is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 79) the port to use for the HotSync transfer. The "Generic" port can be used
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 80) for other device communication, such as a PPP link.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 81)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 82) For some Sony Clié devices, /dev/ttyUSB0 must be used to talk to the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 83) device. This is true for all OS version 3.5 devices, and most devices
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 84) that have had a flash upgrade to a newer version of the OS. See the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 85) kernel system log for information on which is the correct port to use.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 86)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 87) If after pressing the sync button, nothing shows up in the system log,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 88) try resetting the device, first a hot reset, and then a cold reset if
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 89) necessary. Some devices need this before they can talk to the USB port
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 90) properly.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 91)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 92) Devices that are not compiled into the kernel can be specified with module
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 93) parameters. e.g. modprobe visor vendor=0x54c product=0x66
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 94)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 95) There is a webpage and mailing lists for this portion of the driver at:

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 103) -------------------
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 104)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 105) This driver can be used to connect to Compaq iPAQ, HP Jornada, Casio EM500
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 106) and other PDAs running Windows CE 3.0 or PocketPC 2002 using a USB
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 107) cable/cradle.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 108) Most devices supported by ActiveSync are supported out of the box.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 109) For others, please use module parameters to specify the product and vendor
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 110) id. e.g. modprobe ipaq vendor=0x3f0 product=0x1125
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 111)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 112) The driver presents a serial interface (usually on /dev/ttyUSB0) over
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 113) which one may run ppp and establish a TCP/IP link to the PDA. Once this
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 114) is done, you can transfer files, backup, download email etc. The most
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 115) significant advantage of using USB is speed - I can get 73 to 113
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 116) kbytes/sec for download/upload to my iPAQ.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 117)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 118) This driver is only one of a set of components required to utilize
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 119) the USB connection. Please visit http://synce.sourceforge.net which
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 120) contains the necessary packages and a simple step-by-step howto.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 121)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 122) Once connected, you can use Win CE programs like ftpView, Pocket Outlook
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 123) from the PDA and xcerdisp, synce utilities from the Linux side.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 124)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 125) To use Pocket IE, follow the instructions given at
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 126) http://www.tekguru.co.uk/EM500/usbtonet.htm to achieve the same thing
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 127) on Win98. Omit the proxy server part; Linux is quite capable of forwarding
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 128) packets unlike Win98. Another modification is required at least for the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 129) iPAQ - disable autosync by going to the Start/Settings/Connections menu
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 130) and unchecking the "Automatically synchronize ..." box. Go to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 131) Start/Programs/Connections, connect the cable and select "usbdial" (or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 132) whatever you named your new USB connection). You should finally wind
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 133) up with a "Connected to usbdial" window with status shown as connected.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 134) Now start up PIE and browse away.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 135)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 136) If it doesn't work for some reason, load both the usbserial and ipaq module
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 137) with the module parameter "debug" set to 1 and examine the system log.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 138) You can also try soft-resetting your PDA before attempting a connection.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 139)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 140) Other functionality may be possible depending on your PDA. According to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 141) Wes Cilldhaire <billybobjoehenrybob@hotmail.com>, with the Toshiba E570,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 142) ...if you boot into the bootloader (hold down the power when hitting the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 143) reset button, continuing to hold onto the power until the bootloader screen
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 144) is displayed), then put it in the cradle with the ipaq driver loaded, open
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 145) a terminal on /dev/ttyUSB0, it gives you a "USB Reflash" terminal, which can
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 146) be used to flash the ROM, as well as the microP code.. so much for needing
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 147) Toshiba's $350 serial cable for flashing!! :D

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 159) Fairly simple device. Firmware is homebrew.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 160) This driver also works for the Xircom/Entrega single port serial adapter.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 164) Things that work:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 165) - basic input/output (tested with 'cu')
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 166) - blocking write when serial line can't keep up
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 167) - changing baud rates (up to 115200)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 168) - getting/setting modem control pins (TIOCM{GET,SET,BIS,BIC})
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 169) - sending break (although duration looks suspect)

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 171) Things that don't:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 172) - device strings (as logged by kernel) have trailing binary garbage
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 173) - device ID isn't right, might collide with other Keyspan products
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 174) - changing baud rates ought to flush tx/rx to avoid mangled half characters

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 176) Big Things on the todo list:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 177) - parity, 7 vs 8 bits per char, 1 or 2 stop bits
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 178) - HW flow control
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 179) - not all of the standard USB descriptors are handled:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 180) Get_Status, Set_Feature, O_NONBLOCK, select()

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 258) The Earthmate starts out at 4800 8N1 by default... the driver will
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 259) upon start init to this setting. usbserial core provides the rest
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 260) of the termios settings, along with some custom termios so that the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 261) output is in proper format and parsable.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 262)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 263) The device can be put into sirf mode by issuing NMEA command::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 264)

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 268) It should then be sufficient to change the port termios to match this
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 269) to begin communicating.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 275) The hid->com adapter can run at a maximum baud of 115200bps. Please note
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 276) that the device has trouble or is incapable of raising line voltage properly.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 277) It will be fine with null modem links, as long as you do not try to link two
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 278) together without hacking the adapter to set the line high.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 383) This driver has also been found to work for other products, which have
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 384) the same Vendor ID but different Product IDs. Sitecom's U232-P25 serial
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 385) converter uses Product ID 0x230 and Vendor ID 0x711 and works with this
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 386) driver. Also, D-Link's DU-H3SP USB BAY also works with this driver.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 459) are supported, but handshaking (software or hardware) is not, which is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 460) why it is wise to cut down on the rate used is wise for large

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 480) -------------------------------
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 481)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 482) These chips are present in devices sold by various manufacturers, such as Syba
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 483) and Cables Unlimited. There may be others. The 7720 provides two serial
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 484) ports, and the 7715 provides one serial and one standard PC parallel port.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 485) Support for the 7715's parallel port is enabled by a separate option, which
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 486) will not appear unless parallel port support is first enabled at the top-level
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 487) of the Device Drivers config menu. Currently only compatibility mode is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 488) supported on the parallel port (no ECP/EPP).

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 490) TODO:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 491) - Implement ECP/EPP modes for the parallel port.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 492) - Baud rates higher than 115200 are currently broken.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 493) - Devices with a single serial port based on the Moschip MCS7703 may work
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 494) with this driver with a simple addition to the usb_device_id table. I
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 495) don't have one of these devices, so I can't say for sure.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 497) Generic Serial driver

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 499)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 500) If your device is not one of the above listed devices, compatible with
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 501) the above models, you can try out the "generic" interface. This
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 502) interface does not provide any type of control messages sent to the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 503) device, and does not support any kind of device flow control. All that
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 504) is required of your device is that it has at least one bulk in endpoint,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 505) or one bulk out endpoint.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 506)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 507) To enable the generic driver to recognize your device, provide::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 508)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 509) echo <vid> <pid> >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/generic/new_id
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 510)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 511) where the <vid> and <pid> is replaced with the hex representation of your
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 512) device's vendor id and product id.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 513) If the driver is compiled as a module you can also provide one id when
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 514) loading the module::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 515)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 516) insmod usbserial vendor=0x#### product=0x####

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 518) This driver has been successfully used to connect to the NetChip USB
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 519) development board, providing a way to develop USB firmware without
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 520) having to write a custom driver.
