15:53.43erpl_Hi!
15:55.26*** join/#handhelds mmp (n=mmp@TheWide.ubyt.sdjls.uniba.sk)
15:57.46erpl_Hi mmp!?
15:58.15mmperpl_: hi...
15:58.40erpl_May ask you a qustion, please?
15:59.35mmperpl_: go on, but I'm not sure whether I can answer
16:00.04erpl_Are you kind of an expert concerning IPAQ installation?
16:00.29erpl_I'm asking, because I just got hold on one and can't connect to it via minicom.
16:00.39erpl_So I'm looking for some hint...
16:01.29mmperpl_: :) you could ask loudly, wihtout asking someone precisely -- if you would describe your problem correctly, someone would answer it..
16:01.42mmpI don't know whether I'm an expert, but I can try to help a bit...
16:02.01mmpso, what model of ipaq do you have?
16:02.15erpl_Ah ok, I'm new to IRC as well so I don't know how to ask loudly!
16:02.21erpl_I got an 5450.
16:02.33erpl_I installed the bootloader already.
16:02.59erpl_The device is connected via serial cradle to my box.
16:03.18erpl_Now I try to install familiar 0.8.4 via serial connection.
16:03.44mmperpl_: (ask loudly) -- just write your question, someone will answer it if he/she knows the answer.
16:04.29mmperpl_: ok, you should now have your ipaq rebooted... ideally, holding down the joypad button...
16:04.34erpl_Thanks.
16:04.58erpl_Yes, that woks. It just vibrates one time. Seems to be alright so far.
16:05.05mmpyes...
16:05.17mmpdo you have minicom set up properly?
16:05.25mmp115200 baud rade, 8bit, no parity
16:05.27mmp*rate
16:05.46erpl_Yeah, as far as I can see it's set up properly.
16:06.35mmphmm, and you still don't see anything?
16:06.42erpl_Maybe I've got the wrong device. I tried /dev/ttyS0 - /dev/ttyS3.
16:06.58erpl_At least I think I don't see the prompt from the ipaq.
16:07.35erpl_minicom just states "Port /dev/ttyS0" and the help text - no prompt.
16:07.39mmpthe prompt doesn't need to pop up instantly if the ipaq wasn't in the cradle during reboot, you might need to press enter
16:08.05erpl_tried that, too. to no avail.
16:08.49erpl_is there a way to find out to which device the cradle is connected to
16:09.56mmphmm...
16:10.59erpl_I can't see anything in /var/log/messages as with my Tungsten T. When that is about to sync there's an entry in the log. Something like Palm ... is connected to /dev/ttyUSB0.
16:12.06mmperpl_: serial port is a bit different, it doesn't have facility to easily autodetect connected device
16:12.45mmpyou could try to short pins 2 and 3 on the serial port you are using, that should cause an echo if you open the right ttyS
16:12.54mmphttp://www.arcelect.com/rs232.htm
16:13.10mmp(if you are not sure whether you are using the right serial port)
16:14.13erpl_Uh, a tough one. I gues I'm not good when it comes to hardware bricolage... :-)
16:14.31erpl_Anyway I'll have a look.
16:16.02mmperpl_: or if you have any other device which uses serial port, you can try that one as well... but this echo trick is probably most useful, as the only device on which it depends, is a piece of wire or coin :)
16:16.10erpl_Am I right that there is no need to enter a command in minicom to get connected? Just issuing minicom with the right settings should do the trick.
16:16.36mmpyes
16:17.15mmperpl_: I guess you use normal serial port, not USB-to-RS232 converter...
16:17.32yangerpl_: try to use screen instead minicom "screen /dev/ttyS0 115200"
16:19.17erpl_It's the dual serial/usb cradle. I only plugged in the serial plug. No USB-to-RS232 converter.
16:19.38mmpok
16:20.14erpl_I don't know screen. screen /dev/ttyS0 115200 -> just a blank screen.
16:20.57mmperpl_: it should be the same as minicom...
16:22.26*** join/#handhelds drw (n=drw@76.187.64.213)
16:24.54erpl_If I try screen /dev/ttyS2 115200 it says: /dev/ttyS0 is not a tty. With ttyS0 and ttyS1 this message does not appear.
16:25.40erpl_sorry, meant "/dev/ttyS2 is not a tty"
16:25.43mmp:)
16:26.04mmperpl_: ok, so you probably have only ttyS1 and ttyS2
16:26.06mmpech
16:26.12mmpttyS0 and ttyS1
16:26.49mmpipaq is still in the bootloader? (you did not boot it back to windows)
16:26.59erpl_at least only those two seem to work in one way or another (there are four ttyS* device nodes in /dev).
16:27.41ebbeyes:)
16:29.03erpl_I'll try another pc - maybe something ain't right with the port...
16:29.11mmpmaybe...
16:29.55mmpbut also there might be something with cradle or ipaq... I heard that sometimes the connectors on ipaqs can be damaged quite easily
16:32.03erpl_that's hopefully not the prob... :-|
16:33.04mmperpl_: I hope too, but it might be worthwhile to consider all possibilities...
16:34.00erpl_that's true. wiring up that thing to the other pc now. *crossingmyfingers* ;)
16:43.25erpl_mmp: no luck on the other box as well. :-(
16:44.21erpl_mmp: anyway thank you very much for your help - that's very welcome.
16:44.24mmperpl_: is the serial port marked somehow on the back side of the computer ? It should have a number..
16:46.19erpl_just a plain plate without a mark.
16:46.21mmperpl_: no problem, I'll help luckily.
16:46.42mmp(sorry delay, I was just a bit disturbed with the Real World(tm) :)
16:47.04mmperpl_: so, you are sure minicom is set up properly...
16:47.11mmpboth port number and parameters
16:47.46mmpand ipaq is correctly inserted into cradle and booted into bootloader prompt
16:48.04mmp(should be if it buzzes)
16:49.34*** part/#handhelds Mineque (n=Mineque@195.60.65.50)
16:53.18erpl_it buzzes indeed. when should the calndar button be pressed: when it's in the cradle or before? does it make a difference?
16:54.12mmperpl_: calendar button should not be pressed, AFAIK
16:54.18mmpat least it works without it as well
16:54.49mmpI have h5550, which is model from the same product line and with similar hardware
16:57.50erpl_no difference here. could relly be the crade or the serial port of the device itself. :-(
17:00.26erpl_could you please describe what minicom should look like when there is a correct connection. Just a prompt "> "?
17:00.32mmpboot>
17:00.50mmpor something like that, I don't rememberr dorrectly...
17:07.25erpl_I could try to get a serial connection under pocket pc - via synce or something. if that doesn't work then I can be sure it's the serial connection.
17:11.43erpl_is there a good howto to sync via serial cable?
