What is the name of the serial port on the Zaurus 6000L with
openembedded?
When trying to run gpsd-dev, the first thing in the install
file says to:
stty -F /dev/ttyXXX ispeed 4800 && cat < /dev/ttyXXX
I've tried that with every device listed in /dev/tty*, but
nothing shows up. What is the name of the serial port on the
Zaurus? Does the serialio.com gps unit work with that
combination of s/w and h/w?
The led on the gps unit blinks, which indicates that it is
powered up and has a position, so that much seems to be working.
Is there an tcpdump/ethereal for serial ports that can be used
to diagnose this problem?

you tried ttys0 ?

> you tried ttys0 ?
Yes. Thanks, but nojoy.
The gps vendor says to reboot and go into run mode 4
from the menu
q (x): Qtopia
a (e): Linux Console
r (e): init 4 (ttyS0:terminal)
t (e): init 5 (ttyS0:-free-)
However, this seems to be for the Sharp rom, and
the openzaurus rom did not have that option. Are
there different runlevels that support/don't support
the serial port?

dunno. Ther shouldn't be... serial is pretty ancient and basic... I have used serial gps w/ a guylhem kernel & usb>serial adapter, if that helps (you can get one that works from serialio.com). was planning to try in pdaxrom. Haven't done much with OZ lately. Sorry I don't know anything of more use.
