not yet completely tested since the OpenMoko must be flashed first with a new rootfs - and the tools are not yet available for MacOS X.

But it is clear that AJZaurusUSB up to 0.5.1 will need this patch to know the OpenMoko device

CODE

Before rebooting (!) add this to /System/Library/Extensions/AJZaurusUSB.kext/Contents/Info.plist

<key>OpenMoko</key>
<dict>
     <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
     <string>net.lucid-cake.driver.AJZaurusUSB</string>
     <key>IOClass</key>
     <string>net_lucid_cake_driver_AJZaurusUSB</string>
     <key>IOProbeScore</key>
     <string>90000</string>
     <key>IOProviderClass</key>
     <string>IOUSBDevice</string>
     <key>defaultIP</key>
     <string>192.168.0.202</string>
     <key>idProduct</key>
     <integer>20770</integer>
     <key>idVendor</key>
     <integer>5207</integer>
</dict>

No, but the source is available.

And that is the issue - it does not compile out of the box.

The compilation issue has been solved by patching the Makefile manually to link to Darwin Ports' libusb. Another issue is when no device is connected, that the code dereferences some NULL pointers and ends up in bus erros.

Now, there is the next issue:

CODE

AJZaurusUSB 0.5.3 is available.

It fixes the Info.plist for OpenMoko and has a new scheme to determine the Ethernet MAC address (which was randomized on the OpenMoko on each reboot). Now, you should see in the System Settings / Network only one Interface per device type.

Please note that AJZaurusUSB can basically support multiple devices connected through USB - but since neither the Zaurus nor the OpenMoko provide a clear serial number, you can connect only one of each type. If you connect two Zaurus devices or two OpenMoko devices, they will be configured to the same IP address.

If someone has an idea how to read a unique ID from the USB interface, this could be improved.
