I think the SILABS converter is based on the ftdi chipset. Fanoush on
<a href="http://www.internettablettalk.com">www.internettablettalk.com</a> had released a set of drivers compiled for
OS2008.<br><br><a href="http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=101312&postcount=5">http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=101312&postcount=5</a><br><br>insmod the driver, run dmesg | tail to see if the converter got detected.<br>
You can talk to the serial chip via /dev/ttyUSB0.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 30, 2008 12:07 PM, Aleksey Yashchenko <<a href="mailto:tuxslayer@gmail.com">tuxslayer@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi All,<br><br>There was several threads about using N800 USB host mode, and<br>Sebastian told us that its no problem to use N800 USB with Silabs<br>Serial converter.<br><br>I need to connect an RS232 device to N800 with OS2008 image uploaded.<br>
<br>The questions is:<br><br>How should I use this port?<br>a) will it be available as serial port? (some kind of tty?) where I<br>should look for drivers?<br><br>b) Should I communicate thru it as thru USB device? Any suggestions on<br>
API, libraries? Or maybe I can just open() some character device from<br>/dev/ and read/write it? how in this case writed data will be mapped<br>to serial port's output?<br><br>c) for serial port I need to set up the baud rate, stop bits, etc. how<br>
should I deal with it when device is connected thru USB?<br><br>Thanks for any ideas!<br><br>Best regards,<br><font color="#888888"> Aleksey Yashchenko<br>_______________________________________________<br>maemo-developers mailing list<br>
