gumstix

While we're on the topic, does anyone know of a way to get OS X to
connect over bluetooth PAN to the gumstix?  Basically, the equivalent
of "pand -c".

Also, has anyone heard of any usbnet support on the Mac?

Thanks,

Fred

The differences are mainly in the make files to work around gnuisms 
(when there are perfectly usable POSIX equivalents),  like POSIX sed 
needs the filename as the last argument, whereas GNU allows it to be the 
first.  The generated output from scudderfish should be identical, and I 
aim to make it buildable on Linux as well.

Dave

You can probably compile up the BlueZ tools on OS X (www.bluez.org). 
Then you'll have pand at your disposal.

Yes, it works if you turn off RNDIS in the linux config, then you can  
use this driver:

http://www.dsitri.de/wiki.php?page=AJZaurusUSB

iirc you have to hack the driver to react to the gumstix'  
VendorID,ProductID pair, which is is /System/Library/Extensions/ 
AJZaurusUSB.kext/Info.plist after installing.  You basically need to  
add this:

                 <key>Gumstix</key>
                 <dict>
                         <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
                         <string>org.lucidcake.driver.AJZaurusUSB</ 
string>
                         <key>IOClass</key>
                         <string>org_lucidcake_driver_AJZaurusUSB</ 
string>
                         <key>IOProviderClass</key>
                         <string>IOUSBDevice</string>
                         <key>idProduct</key>
                         <integer>42146</integer>
                         <key>idVendor</key>
                         <integer>1317</integer>
                 </dict>

To just above where the existing similar entries are already (the  
version I have starts with <key>YOPY YP3000</key>)

That'd be why I haven't had any luck with it. How do we go about
turning off RNDIS Craig?

Thanks,

Modify the file target/devices/Gumstix/basix-connex/linux.config in  
the current buildroot to disable the line

CONFIG_USB_ETH_RNDIS=y

Then re-make and you should be all set.

Cool thanks, shall try this.

Windows uses RNDIS doesnt it..so that will stop that? Don't use it
over windows anyway so not too worried.

Worked perfectly after copying required modules across...thanks Craig!

Yup -- RNDIS is one of those Microsoft "The way everyone else does  
this is just not good enough for us, so we'll roll our own entirely  
secret way of doing the exact same thing" jobs.  CDC Ethernet wasn't  
good enough for Microsoft, so they created RNDIS.

Without RNDIS, you won't be able to use the gumstix in a windows  
usbnet setup.  With it, you can kind of almost sort of use it in some  
other cases, if the driver is smart enough to just ignore the RNDIS  
configuration and skip to the CDC Ethernet one it can deal with.   
Actually, I think linux now has some basic RNDIS client support that  
I think I noticed tagged as "EXPERIMENTAL" last time I was compiling  
a kernel on my server.
