Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get Intellisync working between XP and my C1000 using 3.5.4.1-rc4 OZ/OPIE with KO/PI, and the supplied USB cable, however wheneven I try to "sync" or "file transfer" from the PC with intellisync, nothing happens, except that intellisync times-out. I know the PC set-up works (for Cacko at least) since I re-installed Cacko and it worked straight-away, using "PC Link" under "Settings". I then re-installed OZ/OPIE and I cannot sync or transfer files. I don't see anything equivalent under OZ/OPIE - have I missed something out, do I need to install or do anything extra? I specifically want USB I/O to work since I'm trying to set the C1000 so that it can be used at work as well as home. Any ideas greatly appreciated... Thanks  .

Thanks . usb sync/network currently only works if you are connected to a linux box, not windows big bummer for all us windows users.... |

At least I'm not going mad then - it just didn't make any sense; thought I was starting to lose my mind (again)! Anyone know if there are plans to get syncing to work on OZ/OPIE or whether OZ/GPE syncs any better, as I'd really like to sync with windows (unfortunately).  What's the preferred method for Linux in any case? |

I see you mentioned File Transfer, this is the latest version of the software if I'm not mistaken...?
The Intellisync software ought to work, but you have to use the old version that came with the 2.xx versions 'ROM's of the 5500. Simon |

c1000 - you'll also need (once it's working correctly) to use the gadget driver on the Windows side (rather than the drivers and PC Link app which came with the c1000) as the USB PID and VID have changed.

So OK, I'll try that - I started-off with the later Intellisync (3.1) for Cacko, which wouldn't work with OPIE; after a lot of research on these forums I found a post from 2004 which seemed to spell-out the situation, so I uninstalled Intellisync 3.1, and installed 1.43E (the 5500 version), which didn't work with OPIE either. Then I reinstalled 3.1, after which I got a bit confused with it all... However I reckon (after further thought) that I didn't replace the windows USB drivers properly - I'll try again... How do I actually instigate a sync between PC and C1000 on OPIE - just Synchronize from Intellisync, or do I need to do something on the Zaurus? Thanks.

Si Hmmmm, I didn't know anything about this. Can you expand on what I need to do and where I may get the required drivers, please. Thanks for your patience.

OK, the latest...
I removed 3.1 Intellisync completely (ensuring all slz*.* usb driver files were deleted), and installed the Intellisync supplied with the SL-5500 (SetupI.exe), which I got from the sharpusa website - this is Intellisync 1.43E. On OPIE, from Settings->Security->Sync, I set: Accept Sync from network=Any Select your sync software=Intellisync Still can't sync - what do I need to do next?? I presume I need the aforementioned Gadget Driver for Windows?? Anyone got a copy?? Gotta say I'm a bit confused by all of this . . . why does Cacko work with Intellisync 3.1, and OPIE doesn't (needing version 1.43 and different USB drivers in windows). P.S. File Transfer is available from the older Intellisync. |

The gadget driver is actually built into Windows in the form of RNDIS, however it does require an inf file to make it recognise it.
Do a search of this forum for the linux.inf file (or grab it from the kernel source documentation, or elsewhere online). With that said, my understanding is that there are still issues with g_ether (the ethernet gadget driver for the Zaurus side) which means it won't work atm on PXA270 machines. Simon |

I have also seen an oddity with suse10.1's kernel in that it doesn't understand the usb gadget for networking - whereas suse10.0's does! this post explains why it happens, but not how to fix it.

I managed to get RNDIS configured on my XP box, but I can't get the interface to come up. Has anyone seen this? My C1000 correctly loads g_ether and USB0 comes up without issue.

This is a different case - g_ether should work for you Grog as you're using a machine with a PXA255 processor.
It doesn't work in RNDIS mode (which is what Windows requires) for PXA270 processors. Agosine, this is relevant to you as your C1000 has a PXA270 processor. See this thread too: http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20859&hl= Si |
