Sony Clie on gentoo Linux

In this howto I'll describe how to hotsync your PDA with Linux-2.6.X Kernels and how to mount your memmorystick.
At first, grab an upt-to-date Kernel and be sure to select a propper USB-Driver für your Mainboard.

Now you need the two Modules
  1. usbserial
  2. visor

To load these two modules at startup include them in your

/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6


Now we create the device-nodes (if udev didn't) and set the propper permission

mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 && chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 && chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1


Now a the dev-nodes should look like this

ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 188, 0 20. Okt 16:27 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 188, 1 20. Okt 16:27 /dev/ttyUSB1


Now fire up KPilot and set the device KPilot should sync on either to
/dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1
Which dev you are using depends on your Clie.

Now press the sync button in KPilot than press the HotSync button on your PDA and watch your System syncing with your PDA ;-)


Mount the MemmoryStick:

.... My Clie was stolen... so no updates here...
