BLUEANGEL synCE linux

---

Hi I just got SynCE 0.90 working fine with kernel 2.6.x

In case you didn't know synCE is the linux (open source) version of Activesync

homepage at http://synce.sourceforge.net/

I used this with pocket PC 2003SE on blueangel

It also works fine with synce-kde, just like activesync

here is the updated snippet from the wiki:

I ran it on a 2.6.9 kernel and I added this to my ipaq.h:

(look for this)
#define HTC_VENDOR_ID 0x0bb4
#define HTC_WALLABY_ID 0x00ce
#define HTC_HIMALAYA_ID 0x0a02
(new part here)
#define HTC_BLUEANGEL_ID 0x0a05
(end new part)

And this to my ipaq.c (/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/serial/)

(look for this)
{ USB_DEVICE(HTC_VENDOR_ID, HTC_WALLABY_ID) },
{ USB_DEVICE(HTC_VENDOR_ID, HTC_HIMALAYA_ID) },
(new part here)
{ USB_DEVICE(HTC_VENDOR_ID, HTC_BLUEANGEL_ID) },
(end new part)

In the ipaq_id_table to be precise.

hope this helps (and the wiki is updated when online)

Uau!!!
Do you know is everything is syncable? (calendar, contact,..)

cannot make it work under suse 9.1 kernel 2.6.8.x

I've been trying to make Syncce under Suse 9.1 with kernel 2.6.8.x work. But no luck. Any suggestions or tips?

synce can sync with kde using Multisync. http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/multisync_guide.php
I havn't used it myself, but I read good things.

As for the problem with Suse 9.1 with kernel 2.6.8.x you would have to be more specific.
did you modprobe usbserial and ipaq after modifyig the source, rebuilding the kernel, and rebooting?

If you did all of the above and you still have problems then post your dmesg output with the above loaded and the device pluged in.

cool! is this bluangel specific or could work also with xda-mini, ...?

Do u use synce with usb or bluetooth? tnx

you will ned to get the device id for the mini to make it work, but thats easy

the blueangel is 0x0a05, you see this when you use the tool usbview
click on ipaq, and then look for

Product Id: 0a05 (this will say a different device id)

change the above code, and replace the device id of the mini.

I have successfully used both bluetooth and usb to sync my pda.

check out http://synce.sourceforge.net/

could you make a howto:

ive been trying everything

here is what i have

i have the Audiovox XV6600 w/cam (default rom) got it like 1 month ago.

im running slack 10.2 with the test26.s kernel u can pick upon install (its 2.6.13)

i leave pda in regular mode and connect it through usb after i am in kde desktop

then i switch the pda mode to wmodem.

with kppp (dial up app) i select software xon/xoff mode
i select script

i try and find my modem and put it on dev/tty0 or /dev/tty1 and querry it
usually it does querry but all the commands come back blank

i try to log in and it says modem ready and then it goes to "initializing modem" and its not froze or hung but it just stays there

note: i do not see the 3 little lights in wmodem flash when i querry or try to connect.

with 2.6.13 i dont think you have to edit the ipaq.h or ipaq.c files in /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/serial

when i compile a kernel what option makes the ipaq module load?

ok thanks

anyone gonna try and help a fellow linuxer out?

Hi,

not so much at once. We are already running Linux
on Blueangel now
You don't need to recompile anything. Just

modprobe ipaq debug=1 vendor=XXXX product=YYYY

with vendor and product numbers.
Works here even on amd64 linux.
Can tell you the steps necessary to do from
the command line.
Don't know about KDE though.

well linux detects the modem with np and it automatically loads the ipaq module. i can verify this by doing the 'lsmod' command and its in there

im using the HARRIER model but should work close to the same.

ive tried to configure with pppsetup and also kppp from kde and havent had to much luck so far.

i know i have a symlink i create that goes like this
/dev/modem = /dev/ttyUSB0

with verizon i dont think it uses pap/chap as you can logon with just the #777 and no userass

i dont think modem uses hardware control or modem compression but i cant connect to verizon without it but when i look in my "WINXP" modem view log it says no hardware and no modem compression

anyhow ive tried with minicom and kppp and when i try to connect i see the ppc (wmodem) lights flashing on and off and i see in the log viewer a bunch of garbage

so i think this is a config prob
anyhelp will be greatly appreciated
