USB-to-Serial port on Athena - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

Hi!
I am trying find info on how to connect a standard USB-to-serial adapter to a Athena (7500 and 7510). I was thinking of using the VGA-out, connecting the adapter to the USB-port on the adapter that is connected to the VGA-out. Right now, I have a FT232 R USB UART connected to that port and my Athena asks me to enter the devicename, but of course it cant find the devicedriver for this adapter.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to successfully get a serialport from any of the available outgoing ports on the Athena? USB-port or VGA, doesnt matter at the moment.
Also, I tried installing Zenos driver package (Zeno USB Host Drivers v6.0a), but no luck there.
Any advices, tips or ideas are welcome

Found and installed drivers (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm), it seems to be working. Will test this further.

If anyone knows any software for sniffing on COM-ports, please let me know.

Solved!
Ok, its now working. The device opens up on COM10.
Have taken shots of the connections made (hardware) and a screenshot from the application used on the Athena. This has been tested on both 7500 and 7510 and its working perfectly. The application used is from the makers of the chip in the adapter, FTDI, and on my computer I used hyperterminal.

Interesting. Are you just using the serial connection for file transfers, or some other reason?

I downloaded some Youtube videos/songs for my son and he plugged his PSP into the USB connector and I couldn't believe it when my x7500 showed a new Hard Drive on TotalCommander.
This 4-in-1 adapter cable is awesome, as I can use my Athena as a regular computer and watch qood quality YouTube and other movies through my 26" HD TV or connect music through my surround system. If you're considering this cable, it will not disappoint you!

We sell these devices with our software pre-installed, our customers are fire- and rescueservices, ambulance and police and the idea is to connect other "radiounits" to the HTC for communication with specific coordination-centrals (f. ex. in sweden thats SOS Alarm). Sorry but I cant really translate it any better than that
We have a few other things in mind as well, too early to write about them here though, and most likely its nothing that will be of any interest for the general public.

Fully understand what you are trying to say, sounds like a cool extension of functionality for the Advantage. Keep us posted as your "other things" come to light.

Will do. This fantastic community has provided me with so much info and I will contribute as much as I can.
My next project is a registrysniffer, realtime. Have just begun but it looks promising.

Good morning, I was not able to install the cable can you help me?
thanks

Sure I can help, would need a but more info though. You cant connect the multi-purposecable to your device? You cant connect the usb-2-rs232cable? Your driver wont load?

Gonna check it out now...
That's the one i was thinking of

I just tried it.. it is awesome....
to bad it's not free any more
This program will be much easier to use, if the PDA's screen is large..
using this program on a small screen like the magician's will be useless IMHO
Should be fairly easy to re write. Will try to investigate later!

PPC Tablet
You might want to try this, it's a commercial product, and as such it serves the purpose well.

It has several predifined layout :a drawing tablet, touchpad, numeric pad, presentation controller, windows media controller. You can even create your own layout or modify existing one.

Yep, you should give it a try if you're bored one day or another. The trial works OK... I like the idea of using the XDA as a universal remote for the laptopo via the design mode but as a pure Graphical tablet the thing sucks. And aside from this I have trouble getting decent connections. Direct connections over ActiveSync (USB or Bluetooth) for some reason are the most dodgy. And if they work they are hopelessly sluggigh - i.e. a few pixels movement a second. If you get to work on this, lemme know. I might have the odd idea for a feature.

i can see the terminal before connection but i have no prompt.
installed also pocket putty and ce file commander just to check but it does not work.
could you help me in troubleshooting and tell me what i'm missing?
( i was able to create this connection with my old jornada 720 )
many thanks,
Raphael

any help apreciated.
did anybody managed to "hyperterminal" into rtrs from his 9000? :?:

Best solution can be a serial bluetooth adapter connection. I don't think that you can connect to a slave device the USB serial dongle ....
ciao
thanks
ok, looked into some serial/bt adaptators , seems pretty expensive:
>100€ but have a good feedback onto. i'll try to find one on auction first.
thanks for the answer.
any other idea?
[/img]
ok
finally bought the bt/serial interface.
but having pbs connecting it to my nortel routers.
i'm using mtoken for software
bt/serial configured to 9600/8/n/1 no hardware flow control
back to my v1640 pairing device with serial service, outgoing port 8
mtoken asking to a direct connection to com8, says sonnected but nothing on the screen.
do one of you already uses same config, managed to?
any peace of advice will be really helpfull.
i'll get the bt/db9 back if i can't managed within 5 days.
to resume... H E L P
I am not sure but I think that the best way to do serial communication is through IRDA...
this product might be userful
http://www.expansys.com.au/product.asp?code=IR220L
communication from ppc to dongle seems ok, green led is on, so connection is ok, but when i press keys, i only have the key pressed, not the login/password prompt, its to have connectivity to nortel routers
please close this topic, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
you know what, i'm happy...
solution?
rj45/db9 then rollovercable then rj45/db9 again
youpi!!! :twisted:

The hero does not support internet sharing. netiher does the magic or the G1.
Are you thinking of Windows mobile devices??
what is this option for?
settings--wireless controls -- mobile network sharing (at the bottom)
To enable mobile network sharing, please plug in the cable?

You just need to download and install the HTC Sync from this page:
http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/downloads/htcsync.html
the last 2 lines of the install instructions states:
(During the installation, a modem driver software for your phone will also be installed. It allows you to share your phone’s Internet connection to your computer when you do not have Internet access on your computer.)
this file is also on the sd card!
Well bugger me backwards, I stand corrected!
Has anyone actually got it to work though?

just tried it and it actually seems to work!
Once htc sync was installed from http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/index.html it installed the network adapter and all seemed well apart from no traffic.
disabled sharing and started it again and all started going flawlessly.
maybe a little slow, but enough in a pinch.
Does anyone know if this will flag up on the operators system as tethering?
With 3gb allowance per month I can't use that all on mobile browsing!
It depends on the network.
I currently am using it on a three mobile sim with the 5 pounds a month 'unlimited' mobile browsing add on.
works fine and i have been using that sim in a USB modem for the last three months, so even if they can, it depends on whether the network actually cares or not!
I know that my t-mobile sim with W&W+ allows me to do it no problems as well, although i don't think you're allowed to on the standard w&w plans. Don't know about their new 'unlimited' flext plans.

HELP! Recover Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Data

The phone suffered water damage and it's all green, I believe the digitizer is now broken for the whole 80% of the bottom screen or so because I can't enter a password or anything. I can pull down the quick menu and turn on the light, but after swiping from the middle of the screen to top then pressing the flashlight location, it still toggles.
What I need most are the contacts, though some messages, images, and app data would be nice.
The phone SHOULD have been in developer mode, but a program I used to try mirroring the screen said to enable it. No root.
Apps I've tried:
Smart Switch
ApowerMirror
SideSync
Vysor
FonePaw
Also tried looking into simply using HDMI/ MHL, looks like S7 is the one phone from Samsung that doesn't support it. There might be some wires that allow it but I haven't found any.
It's on 8.0 Oreo, don't know the exact version.
Any help is appreciated!
Hi, you can do one trick with OEM otg adapter which you got on samsung package wich looks like this:
https://www.shopsmartuk.com/wp-cont...E-UG930-GH96-09728A-www.shopsmartuk.com-3.jpg
and with usb mouse.
So what you are trying here is to blind enable usb debugging option. If you can see something on the screen it is good because with the mouse you can control your device.
Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70-W240rcPc
If you are not sure where is your settings you can search on the internet for your device and version where it is located. Goof luck.

Thanks for this! I've tried using the mouse to swipe up so the phone would unlock so I could just connect the phone to the PC and navigate through screenshots.
I've also unlocked the phone through Samsung's cloud website, can't see if it worked and backup takes forever and does nothing for some reason. No luck, and thanks for the quick reply btw.
Still looking for some suggestions

HDMI problem with Lineage 16, Lineage 17 and LuisROM

Hello guys, so I just tried all the ROMs available here, Lineage 16, Lineage 17 and LuisROM, the HDMI output is messed in all of them (flickering etc), it just works fine using the official Samsung Android, any thoughts? has anyone else tried HDMI on those ROMs? I have a gts4lvwifi, Thanks!

Me too. Had this thing since it was first released, but tried USB-to- HDMI for first time a few days ago.
Using LOS16 20190915.113400

I found a 'workaround', it works sometimes, so still not guaranteed... reboot your tablet and once it is loaded again, just connect the usb to hdmi adapter with the external TV/monitor already turned on, I got the image stable with LOS16, the downside is that in the original Samsung ROM DEX mode we could select the output resolution, and now we can't (I tried all the options possible, even in the developer options), so the video signal output was in my case 4k 30Hz, which makes the whole system slow (TV and tablet), I was trying a SNES emulator and the lag was horrible, impossible to play. In DEX mode was perfect because the output signal was something like 1600x900. 4k is too heavy for this SoC to handle an external TV/monitor.
Regarding the resolution problem I found this thread but didn't test (I can't post links yet, damn XDA!)
