Zaurus aka IrDA sniffer

[suruaZ]

Could I use Zaurus for IrDA sniffing? I need to debug infra red communications between cell phone and Psion.
I tried tcpdump with -i irda0 without luck. Any ideas?

Thanks,

you could try qmode2, which need lirc to work. It works great on my 5600 but whether or not it will do what you wnat, I don\'t know?

Not exactly what I need. It\'s \"Graphical IR signal tracer\" but I need to see what data passing through IR to analyze what\'s going on.

IrDA device should be a serial device.  Try kermit and set line /dev/ircomm with a BPS rate that matches the other 2 devices.

if you install lirc , try running mode2 from the command line. Does that do what you want?

Closer but still not exacltly what I need. I got live pulse/space values. But how to convert this in to read able form? I need to see this data flow in hex or ascii to analyze IrDA frames.

You\'d have to talk to someone who has coded for a keyboard. You need a traslation program and I don\'t know of any... Would be interesting and I think you\'d have to settle for hex. You have to remember that irda is not ascii or hex in nature. It\'s simply a series of pulses. It\'s the software that has to turn the pulses into a human or machine readable format...

Good luck and let us know if you come up with anything...

Tried sersniff? Let me know how it goes too.. I would like to reverse engineer my Samsung E700A too, as it does not seems to support OBEX, and hence cannot easily transfer photo to my Z

sersniff


sersniff is a simple program to tunnel/sniff between 2 serial ports. The current version is 0.0.4

Description


 This program was written to aid me with the decoding of the protocol used by the Nokia 9000i Communicator to talk to the NServer software Nokia provides, which only runs under Windows. Having hastily thrown together the code to do what I needed it occured to me that others may have a use for something similiar and that having a skeleton available may help.


This version adds the ability to change the ports to use and the baud rate to use. It also has support for sniffing a TCP connection or between a serial port and a TCP port.

I have no facilities set to compile it in Zaurus ipk.

Sure you do. Go get zDemoLinux CD and do it from there( hint, no need to install anything ). A search should get you to it.

I just built and uploaded it to http://sense.net/zc/files, let me know if it works.

it = sersniff

Yes I know. It\'s cool project. But I\'m on 33.6 dialup.

Did you think to try removing the comma?
