General :: Palm Vx & Serial Mouse Communication ?
Apr 25, 2011
When I try to Sync a Palm Vx to my PC through serial port I get a communication error message in the gadget. My PalmOS Devices application is already configured to use tty0 or tty1 in unsuccessfully trials. I have a lot of information in the addresses, agenda, notes, etc. and do not want to loose that information gathered for years, nor to return to Windows.
As a test, I used a serial mouse in the serial port and It didn't work. I verified the Bios Setup and COM 1 and COM 2 are enabled.
I also checked my system serial support with the following commands:
And messages were OK when compared with typical outputs. My machine is a Pentium 4 CPU 1.6 GHz, in a U8668 motherboard (Award Software International). I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Gnome.
I am new in Linux and don't know Bash yet. I had followed indications from Internet tutorials successfully, but I don't know how to proceed in this case.

I am in verse to understand the serial communication between guest and host.I have just added a serial port through VI Client selecting "Use serial port on host"(host being ESX host).If I am on VM and run :
ll > /dev/ttyS0
I understand that it should get displayed through ESX Host. So On ESX Host, I typed:
cat /dev/ttyS0
But nothing worked !

I am new to Ubuntu and I need to establish a serial port communication between my PC and microcontroller MSP430G2452.
On connection the USB available with the Launchpad and using lsusb.
It identifies the port as:
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0451:f432 Texas Instruments, Inc. eZ430 Development Tool
After establishing such a connection what I need to do? My aim is to send a byte of information in Linux.

I have been trying out serial and parallel data communication on Fedora 13 Beta. I can easily see the list of serial ports through:
Code:
setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0-3]
And can also write some data through:
Code:
ll > /dev/ttyS0
But I am unable to see parallel ports
I can see something like:
Code:
/dev/parport0
But when I try out:
ll > /dev/parport0
It throws error.

I have an old 3E that syncs up very well when I use Vista on my Presario and a USB to Serial port adapter, problem is I really hate Vista. I just installed linux mint 8, which I love but no luck in syncing my palm 3E. Does anyone know if I have a chance of getting this to work? If so I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Running RHEL5.5 on a Dell R710 server. I installed a 2-port PCIe serial card, built the driver, and installed the kernel module. The ports show up in /etc/hwconf, lspci, kudzu, /proc/ioports, etc., and I now have two new device entries...
/dev/ttyE0
/dev/ttyE1
When I connect a null modem cable from port 0 of the card in the new computer to serial 0 of another computer, I can receive text from the other computer. When I do this... code...

Not really sure where to post this, so here goes... I installed apache2, php and MySQL via LAMP and everything seems to work fine but when I try to open the COM1 port to do serial communication via PHP, I get a permission denied error.
'mode com1: BAUD=9600 PARITY=N data=8 stop=1 xon=off';
$fp=fopen("COM1:","w+");
I've also tried using /dev/ttyS0 instead of COM1: but no luck. Anyone out there know what I'm doing wrong? I don't know if I need to set something up in apache2 or php or if the code is just wrong. I'm on an Acer Aspire One with Ubuntu's LNR 9.10.

I'm having ongoing problems with my Ubuntu installation(s) almost to the point that each addition causes new problems. The latest, continual problem is periodically the computer is being used and abruptly hangs with a blank screen. Though I believe the error is associated with my having an undefined ServerName for LAMP development server. I've decided to do a fresh install with all the options included and see what happens. I need some assistance in developing an install CD/DVD which has all the packages (and configurations) that I need. I want to be able to use a serial mouse (the computer is an older one and I only have a serial mouse to use).

I want to get a serial mouse (PS/2 with adapter) to work on a Dell C400 (so I can use the one USB port for wireless). I enabled the serial port in the BIOS, but the mouse didn't work.

I tried my COM mouse KM-203S on Windows, it works out of the box. Now i want to make it work on linux. But the problem is that mdetect doesn't recognize it, and whatever protocol i select in inputattach, the cursor jumps unpredictably when i move the mouse. How can i get the parameters for this mouse - maybe baudrate, etc.? Or maybe i'm doing something totally wrong?Here's mdetect output (i moved the mouse while mdetect was working) on 300 8N1 mode (set by minicom):
Code:
Found the following devices:
/dev/ttyS1

after installing the OS my mouse was not working. After searching in net for a day, I made it working. Shall give the details hereIf its a repeat thread please ignore it.1. Go to Terminal.2. Login as root.3. su -c 'yum install -y system-config-display'This step will take some 2 to 5 mins 4. su -c 'system-config-display --reconfig'After Fedora 9/10, the xorg.conf is not available and it uses HAL to detect the hardwares. The above steps create the config file.
5. su -c 'cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak'
back up
6. su - -c 'gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf'

I discovered that I can activate my Kensington trackball by typing in a terminal:
sudo inputattach --microsoft /dev/ttyS0 After that I tried to automate that using Yast to place in /etc/sysconfig/inputattach: INPUTATTACH_DRIVERS="/dev/ttyS0:microsoft" It did not work. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to get two way serial communications going between a Windows XP system and a Linux system (RHEL 5).I have /sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0
in /etc/inittab. I am using a generic USB to serial adaptor on Windows (Unitek) and a null modem cable. I have putty configured for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit, no flow control.I get the login prompt from agetty in the putty window but input does not work; I see weird characters in the putty screen. I can echo output into the device from windows and see it, but
cat < /dev/ttyS0. just prints out weird characters from what I type.

I have a very old Pentium 3 that don`t have USB or PS2 suport.
I need to configure a serial mouse.
I did it on debian etch editing xorg.conf. I chage the mouse protocol to "Microsoft" and it works normaly.
But on squeeze it does not exist!
How can I configure it?

I'm installing OpenSuse 11.2 on some systems. Unfortunately the only mouse available is a serial mouse. Hence the installer doesn't recognize the mouse.And it is somewhat cumbersome using the TAB and ARROW keys to navigate the graphical installation.Does anyone know of a boot option I could use to get OpenSuse's installer to recognize a serial mouse ?

I am attempting to use a serial trackball in CentOS 5.3 and have run out of ideas. The mouse is connected to COM2 (/dev/ttyS1). I have tried to configure it through xorg.conf using every protocol I could find including "auto" and tried the same again using "inputattach". The mouse communicates at 1200 baud, so I've tried using stty to set the port to that baud rate and still no luck. Is there a test tool that can be used to see if the serial connection is functioning? If not, are there any other ideas?

I would like to transfer the data from Palm desktop on my windows vista laptop to my Linux netbook. The pda has stopped working so I cannot sync directly from pda to either computers.
Is this possible and if so what software do I need for the Linux and how do I do it, I would need step by step instructions as I am new to Linux and really only use it for web-browsing and skype.

How do you interface with the Linux I2C driver from kernel space? For example, if I had LEDs connected to a GPIO expander on the I2C bus, how would I blink them twice before going down for reset from machine_reset()?
Essentially, I believe I need to call the functions i2c_smbus_write_byte(), i2c_smbus_read_byte(), etc. But these functions require I2C client data that I do not understand how to supply.

I am writing a code which communicates between 2 processes created by fork() statement. Parent reads a file and write the data into a shared memory and sends a signal to the child. The child then receives a signal from the parent to start reading. After finishing the read operation the child sends a signal to the parent asking it to resume its action. Some things are going wrong in my code.
1. segmentation error in memcpy() statement.
2. terminal hangs after running the code.
3. Synchronization problem between processes..
Code: #include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>

I have an application which is separated to several parts (processes) communicating over TCP/IP, using a pre-defined port on localhost.Is this always safe? Can some kind of a firewall (corporate, locally installed, Windows firewall, etc) block this traffic? Or can some user settings in the OS that can block this traffic?The OSes I'm interested in are Windows (XP through 7) and Linux (Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE)

I am very new to linux and I have been given a school project that involves getting my windows pc talking to a linux single board computer that I have. It can be found here. [URL]. I have two bluetooth usb dongles, one to plug into my pc and one to plug into my linux board, I know that both work as I have tried talking to them both using my mobile/cell phone. Also when I plug the dongle into my linux board it recognizes something has been plugged in. However I am unsure where to go from here. I have tried "searching" for the device using my windows pc, but it will only find my cell phone and not my linux board. I also tried mounting it similar to how i would mount a usb drive e.g. mount dev/sda etc. How to setup the linux board for bluetooth communications?

The requirement is that all the processes should run as background processes.
ProcessA talks to ProcessB and ProcessC using sockets.
ProcessB talsk to ProcessA only using sockets.
ProcessC talsk to ProcessA only using sockets.

On my CentOS 5.2 install I've installed a dual-port serial card based on the NetMOS 9835 chipset. I've followed the serial instructions, but everything they tell me to do is already done - see setserial outputs below. I've compared these values to the lspci output (below, NetMos card is at the bottom of the output) for the card and it appears right. Problem being, I can't use the serial ports. Oh and I did use search, and looked at every 9835-related article before posting this :)

I am hoping to be able to get an old serial-touchscreen to work with a usb/serial adapter. I had this touchscreen working some years ago on different hardware. I would like to hook it to the machine I am setting up as a multimedia host with mythtv among other things.
Following the instructions I left behind when I got this to work way back when does not work. See [URL] ....
This info is a work around to get the xserver to see the touchscreen. [URL] ....
I do know that the touchscreen works as I am able to get garbage on the screen as in the first part of my howto. But I have not had any success getting xorg to see it. I wish I had posted a copy of the xorg.conf at the time, but......
There is an issue with the current xserver in testing that I am hoping the next update (in unstable) will fix when it gets pushed to testing. That is that Code: Select all# X -configure fails with a segfault. So I am not able to generate the xorg.conf needed to get it to work. I was going to post a bugreport, that is when I found out there is an update in unstable, so I am waiting for it to get pushed at the moment.
Anyway I am hoping that I can link /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/tty0 and get it to work. I would like some kind of guess as to my chances of success before I go to all the work of getting the monitor hooked to the host.

I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm attempting to use a microcontroller to send MIDI messages over a virtual serial port. I want to (eventually) read them with Mixxx. I'm using an FTDI chip, so I get a /dev/ttyUSB0. I've tried spikenzielabs' Serial-Midi program, but it doesn't see any serial ports. NOTEMIDI looks really old and won't compile on my 10.04 LTS machine.
