Hi there
I seem to have a number of issues these days when it comes to setting up things like CISCO routers that require a "console" connection via a serial port in order to be programmed. Even the humble laptop no longer seems to sport a serial port.
Just wondering if anyone has come accross a SDIO card that will allow you to connect to a 9 pin D serial cable or a dongle that will convert the mini USB on the back of a universal to a serial cabble.
Fingers crossed.
Regards
Charlie

Hello,
Does anybody know how I might establish a serial connection with a Wizard in bootloader mode?
I only have a USB cable...so I got the additional supplies:
1) A USB to PS/2 converter
2) A PS/2 to serial converter
And plugged that into the serial port, didn't work.
I tried these supplies also:
1) A usb-to-usb female connector
2) A serial-to-usb connector
3) A serial-to-serial connector (both sides female)
And plugged that chain into the serial port also, alas didn't work again.
The bootloader is saying USB at the bottom, maybe its not even listening to serial commands. How on Earth can I get this thing to start in serial mode to receive serial commands?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
PS: This is to be able to use XDA Manipulator on the Pocket PC over the serial interface - the program mandates a serial interface.
Hey guys!
I've searched and searched for something to allow me to transfer data via a serial cable from my phone to device.
Let me try to explain this.
HTC Wizard
Windows Mobile 6 (Explore 1.1)
I have style tap (palm os emulator)
Software for palm os for a stand alone fuel managment system (msefi.com)
So on my car, I use a serial cable to program and get realtime data.
Now I know they make bluetooth to serial adapters for around 70, but I was wondering if they make a mini usb to serial cable for the Mobile OS.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Chris
Well, you could theoretically get a USB to serial adapter that has a cable. Then cut the USB connector that goes to the PC off the cable and just splice the miniusb plug onto the end. I don't know about device support though I'm going to guess you would have to at least come up with a driver and the device might not support that type of functionality at all anyways.
Since the Wizard doesn't have a USB Host (aka USB OTG) the short answer is no. Even more importantly, the wizard won't power the serial adapter so the device is a dud to begin with.
The odds that the BT to RS232 connector method will work are far greater than the USB method.
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!...

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

I need to know if it is possible to use the micro usb connector on the P3600 as a serial port.
Suppose I have a device that can feed a serial stream and I want to use TomTom to show a moving map of the gps data I submit to the P3600, would that be possible?
If not, are there any other Mobile devices that have a serial port through their (micro) usb connector?
Thanks in advance!
wondering if there is an adapter somewhere to allow me to plug in my Evo4g(or any mini USB phone) to an RJ45 connector...for example a console port on a switch/router and use a terminal app to configure it.
is this even possible?
thanks for any info
Wow...
Wow lol, while that's a pretty cool idea I doubt it could work... I use a USB to Serial adapter on my laptop to connect to switch gear with a Cisco cable, this one specifically,
http://www.amazon.com/Keyspan-USA-1...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1318030317&sr=1-1
but the phone itself would have to have a driver for it, or you'd have to custom code one yourself... Either way I'm not sure a phone would even support serial emulation over its USB connection. Cool thought though!
