Use the Serial Port
I need use the serial port of the palm TX, i have the cable multi-connector to DB9 (http://serialio.com/products/cables/PalmMulti_RS232.php)
For test the serial port i install "minicom" (i use minicom in my desktop computer without problems) and connect TX to RX in the DB9 (pin 2 to pin 3), in the palm TX i see 3 serial ports ( /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1 and /dev/ttyS2), and no one works. To see the configuration of the serial ports i install "setserial" , when execute the command "setserial -a /dev/ttyS0", the response is;
root@palmtx:~$ setserial -a /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: undefined, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 22
Baud_base: 921600, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000
Flags: spd_normal
and for the others ports is the same:
root@palmtx:~$ setserial -a /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, Line 1, UART: undefined, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 21
Baud_base: 921600, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000
Flags: spd_normal
root@palmtx:~$ setserial -a /dev/ttyS2
/dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: undefined, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 20
Baud_base: 921600, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000
Flags: spd_normal
with this i suppose that the irq are configurated but not the port. to know which port correspond to each
/dev/ttySx i'm based in the information that appears when linux are booting:
pxa2xx-uart.0:ttyS0 at MMIO 0x40100000
(irq=22) is a FFUART
pxa2xx-uart.1:ttyS1 at MMIO 0x40200000
(irq=21) is a BTUART
pxa2xx-uart.2:ttyS2 at MMIO 0x40700000
(irq=20) is a STUART
using setserial i attempt configure that port, but have the following message:
root@palmtx:~$ setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x40100000
Cannot set serial info: Invalid argument
and i'm sure with the sintaxis because i used the same command in the desktop PC
excuse me for the extension, but i want be specific with the problem,,
I will appreciate any comment, link or clue that can give a ligth about this..

minicom pointed to
minicom pointed to /dev/ttyS2 has to work ;-E
WAIT A SECOND! How did you
WAIT A SECOND! How did you get termianl access on your palm TX? The guys here told me it's impossible!
How do you install minicom on the TX? Holy Shit, what have I been missing?
to blackheart: minicom can
to blackheart:
minicom can installed for example via package manager. It's quite easy if you've got working network connection.
Not sure, what you mean by terminal access, but you can ssh to your palm of course...
not offtopic:
I think that Marex said something like that you have to open serial in palmos and then boot linux and then it would work..
WTF? When I asked if it is
WTF? When I asked if it is possible to ssh to my palm from my computer...they said it was not possible.
And how do I install stuff from the package manager if I got no wifi on the TX?
blackheart: It is possible
blackheart:
It is possible for a long time. You can use network over USB or Bluetooth.
