USB Serial help.
« on: February 11, 2009, 07:56:32 PM »
I have purchased a Sansa E200v1 (which hasn't arrived yet), and was wondering how I could set up USB Serial with my Linux computer. I have mincom installed and I know how to use it, but have no idea how to do anything on the Rockbox side. Thanks in advance!  :o

Hmm... I was hoping for a serial shell or something... Is there USB network support (like the ethernet gadget linux module) or USB host support? (I'm not experienced at all in C or such... I'm just a Python programmer, keep it simple ;) )

Rockbox doesn't have a shell or network stack, so no.

or USB host support?

Not yet, though someday we'd like to get it.

So you picked one of the most complicated possible things to work on?

I thought some kind of networking would be useful, but oh well... Thanks.
