NAME

uvisor – USB support for the PalmOS based PDAs

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS

To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device usb device ucom device uvisor

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): 

uvisor_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

The uvisor driver provides support for USB based PalmOS PDAs, like Handspring Visor, Palm Mxxx series, and Sony Clie.

The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4). The device has several ports for different purposes, each of them gets its own ucom(4) device. The attach message describes the purpose of each port.

The usual Pilot tools can be used to access the attached device on the HotSync port.

HARDWARE

The uvisor driver supports the following devices:

FILES

/dev/ttyU* for callin ports
/dev/ttyU*.init
/dev/ttyU*.lock
  corresponding callin initial-state and lock-state devices

/dev/cuaU* for callout ports
/dev/cuaU*.init
/dev/cuaU*.lock
  corresponding callout initial-state and lock-state devices

SEE ALSO

tty(4), ucom(4), usb(4)

HISTORY

The uvisor driver was adopted from NetBSD in August 2002. This manual page was adopted from NetBSD by Tom Rhodes <Mt trhodes@FreeBSD.org> at that time.

BUGS

The code to provide multiple ucom(4) instances has not yet been ported from NetBSD It is unclear whether this driver works in its current state.
