Palm Pilot Info

Synchronizing

Run the command dopilot to backup/sync/restore your pilot. This is an interactive command - it will prompt for what to do. Try dopilot -? for more options.

Setting Up for Palm Pilot

Obtain pilot-link

Get palm tools with apt-get install pilot-link

This should allow you to run dopilot (which uses pilot-xfer from the pilot-link package) to sync the Samsung i500 phone.

Fixing the Visor driver

To get it to work with the Fossil Palm watch you must edit the kernel source for the visor modules.

Add the following to /drivers/usb/serial/visor.h:

#define FOSSIL_VENDOR_ID        0x0E67
#define FOSSIL_PALMWATCH_ID     0x0002

Add the following to /drivers/usb/serial/visor.c at the end of the id_table[] array:

    { USB_DEVICE(FOSSIL_VENDOR_ID, FOSSIL_PALMWATCH_ID),
        .driver_info = (kernel_ulong_t)&palm_os_4_probe },

Add the following to /drivers/usb/serial/visor.c at the end of the id_table_combined[] array:

    { USB_DEVICE(FOSSIL_VENDOR_ID, FOSSIL_PALMWATCH_ID) },

Now you will have to recompile and reinstall the driver. If you prefer not to do the full reinstall, you can just do a build and then copy /drivers/usb/serial/visor.ko to /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/visor.ko and then

sudo rmmod visor
sudo modprobe visor
