Hi all First time poster,
I have been looking through your forums now for quite a while and havent found what i am looking for so this is the problem.
Does the mda compact have a serial port or not.
I am after making a serial lead for my gps and was wondering if this is possible.
I have emailed Pc-Mobile about a lead and they tell me this device doesnt have a serial port but in the specification in the book it says
Connection - Mini USB individual port for signals(for USB,Serial, and Power)
hope someone can help
thanks

USB = Universal Serial Bus
It is possible that it lacks a serial port, this is a similar situation to the ipaq 1910/1930, they have usb but no serial protocol so the only way to use gps is through the infrared port.
Thanks
Do you think this is worth trying and if so any ideas how

It´s a little hard to have the serial cable. I m trying unlock make a strange combination :
serial port pc + serial female to ps2 + ps2 to usb + usb cradle xda. It works ? because I cann´t write in hiperterminal.
Thank you
I don't think USB mode works
I am not sure if I understand this right but my guess is you are using some sort of SERIAL to USB converter :?: to make this work.
I don't believe this will ever work with the current unlock solution because in http://www.xda-developers.com/manipulator/ the developers write that CURRENTLY we need a serial cable for the unlock.
So no matter what kind of converter you will use on the other side you'll still have the the USB connection on the XDA side and that is what really counts.

Yes it was that converter. I dont try anymore. Thank you very much for your answer.
I am developping a program that use serial port to connect a device.
That device use 2 wire communication (only RX and TX) so i set
2020i Serial in order to disable hardware handshake and modem
controls (CTS, RTS, DTR and DSR). But it doesn't works!!!
I investigated and i found that 2020i uses Standard UART port
(Address 0x4070000). Datasheet of pxa270 says that Standard UART
doesn't manage modem control, so why my 2020i needs it? Is there
some other hardware that controls serial port inside? How could i
disable hardware handshake?
And last, had someone connected a GPS receiver using serial port of
2020i?
I know that perhaps it is a too tech topics, but if someone can help me...
cheers,

Hello,
does anyone know if it is possible to attach an USB<-> RS232 cable to the newer HTC Devices, since they don't have RS232 anymore (i guess)?
What I want to do is to connect some kind of blackbox to Prophet, Atom or Wizzard. But this Blackbox only has an RS232 Connector (12 Volts).
Is it possible (hardware) and is there a driver for the RS232<->USB in Windows Mobile 5 or do I need to write my own driver?
Thank you
hi
I hope u've found a solution to that probleme.
I'm really very sad that nobody has answered to this subject, is this to mean that this is a stupid question or that nobody uses PDAs for good purposes.
Well, I try to connect my PDA to a total station (a surveying machine) that has only an RS232 port.
Can u help me to find how.
Thanx
without know much about usb to rs232 convertere then i would suspect they would require usb host ablity on the pda side which non of the htc ones i know of do :S
I think Rudegar is right, a usb to RS232 adapter requires a device with USB host. Remeber I discussed this at the GPS World site a couple of years ago, when I got my Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard).
Couldn't the problem be solved with a Bluetooth -> RS232 dongle?
For instance: http://serialio.com/products/adaptors/BlueSnapXP.php
Here is a list of manufacturers: http://www.thewirelessdirectory.com/Bluetooth-Product/Serial Port Adapters.htm
(I have no experience with these devices; some can draw power from the serial port, others have their own battery, again others have their own powersupply and need to be plugged in)

Anyone know how to add an RS-232 serial port to the Kaiser? I need it for many things. I have read that the 8125 and the 8525 have had serial adapters that plug into the MINI-USB adapter on the phone and HTC told me that if I could find one it would work. Unfortunately it is impossible to find. Any ideas on where to look?
Hi Folks,
Just wondering... I'm trying to get a little application to work on Hermes PDA and I need to connect a Serial device which has a DB9 RS232 connector...
I know there's a Serial port 'inside' the USB connection on the Hermes, I was wondering if anyone knows of a pinout etc. to enable me to build an adapter to plug in the bottom of the PDA which will then allow me to connect my DB9 RS232 device?
Any help gratefully received!...
Regards,
Rob.
no serial ?????
Hi FactionOne,
there's no serial port on on USB connector .
It's only USB-device port, mixed with audio signals on this port.
Bootloader got also support for USB device port.
So it's possible for the host to emulate serial support. That's all!
At least so far as i know
