6000 - Tosa / connecting my SL-6000 to a (Debian) linux box

« on: May 09, 2004, 08:45:21 am »

Hi i am also trying to connect to my 6000 via USB I did the if config and the route, but the zaurus didn\'t accept ssh or anything else. did you have to do anything else to get it working?

I did set up a password for root user on the Zaurus itself.[/quote]

thanks everyone -- very helpful: used ifconfig and route and now I have it connected and can ssh and scp to it (still freezes my entire system periodically, but after all the work I cannot bring myself to go back to the 2.4.x kernel, although that may change very shortly; stubborn fool, I am.) Thanks again.

I posted this over at the Zaurus Message Board but originally meant to ask here:

I have my new SL-6000 sitting here, plugged into my Debian linux (2.6.4 kernel, all the needed usb stuff compiled in or in as modules, I believe) home machine via USB, but I\'m having no luck actually getting access to it. I\'ve followed the several how-tos, one of which suggests that with a 2.6.* kernel this should be a piece of cake, but I seem to be missing something obvious? either that or I\'m even less competent with this linux stuff than I\'d previously thought. A major problem I have is that, when the Z is turned on, it is recognized by usbnet, but inevitably it somehow hangs my entire desktop machine and I have to do a hard reset.

But before that disasterous inevitability, I get the following from dmesg:

usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
usb 2-1: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
drivers/usb/core/message.c: USB device number 2 default language ID 0x409
usb 2-1: Product: SL-6000

usbnet 2-1:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id
usb0: register usbnet at usb-0000:00:02.0-1, Sharp Zaurus, PXA-2xx based

and from ifconfig -a

usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 1A:60:19:07:1A:F0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0  TX bytes:0 (0.0

but (and here\'s were my fragile knowledge of this stuff will become
painfully evident) what does all this tell me? I try setting PCLink on
the Z to USB-TCP/IP, but cannot seem to telnet or ssh to
192.168.129.201 from my Debian box (I previously installed all the
openSSH stuff on my Z from my Win2000 desktop at work).

but an even more basic question: where is my Z now, once it\'s plugged
in and recognized? How do I mount it?

I assume these are pretty obvious points I\'m missing, but I cannot
seem to piece together answers from what I\'ve found on the web so far,
so if anyone can offer some advice on the basics I\'m clearly missing,
I\'d be most appreciative!
