[Tsemgr-linux] Using USB cable DCU-10 to connect T300

[Per T. J. <Per...@nr...>]

Hi, 

I just managed to connect T300 by using the USB cable DCU-10 (original
Sony cable). I was able to use tsemgr to download SMS's, send SMS and
download the addressbook. I found information about how to use the USB
cable when browsing the list archives of the Linux P800 project:

Here is what I did:
     1. You need to recompile the kernel or create modules so that you
        have included the usb-serial and the Profilic PL2303 usb-serial
        driver. Also I think that you need a new kernel (I use
        2.6.0-test2). 
     2. After the new kernel (or modules) is in place, connect the usb
        cable to your usb port. Then use dmesg to see that the device is
        detected and that the correct driver is associated (PL-2303). It
        also says what device it uses (f.ex. ttyUSB0).
     3. Start tsemgr, go to config and enter the device to use (f.ex.
        /dev/ttyUSB0). You're ready!

There is also another USB cable where you can charge the batteries of
the phone at the same time:

I hope someone else finds this information useful.
