>3.6. Linux Terminal on Palm (Handspring Visor) via IR</H1
|
|
><P
|
|
> by Chris Morris on Linux/IrDA list: In
|
|
addition to using IrDA to hotsync my Handspring Visor I got my
|
|
Handspring visor to work as a Linux text terminal via infrared last
|
|
night. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 3800 (BTW I wracked my brains
|
|
for weeks trying to get IR to work. The whole
|
|
problem was caused by Linux looking at the wrong IRQ for ttyS3 .
|
|
). I am using Beam Sync for Visor V1.0b2 by

BIOS. I have to set <TT

/etc/mgetty+fax/mgetty.conf has to have these options: port ttyS3
|
|
direct y speed 9600 , faster maybe possible but only 9600 worked for
|
|
me so far toggle-dtr n Then in /etc/inittab: palm:235:respawn:
|
|
/sbin/mgetty ircomm0 After all of this I can start MiniTerm, issue a
|
|
'/sbin/init q' then send a few <CR> from the Visor and I get a text
|
|
termianl login. While composing this email I found a previously
|
|
undiscovered website that seems most helpful:
