1 Getting gnokii to work with a 6210 under linux
2 ==============================================
4 - Compile your kernel with IrDA support for your chipset.
6 For me on my VAIO this was:
13 Use the emulation of serial port part of your IrDA chipset or...
15 Specify the one you have (I have a NSC 87338)
17 - Reboot onto new kernel etc.
18 - Check your serial devices don't conflict with the ioport/irq that your
19 chipset driver will try to use:
20 setserial /dev/ttySX (where X is 0 -> 3) should give you the information
22 If you have a device that conflicts with your ioport/irq then you will
23 need to remove the serial driver's control over it with:
24 setserial /dev/ttySX uart none port 0 irq 0
25 (where X is there relevant port mine is /dev/ttyS2)
26 - I used the chipset way to get IrDA working.
28 options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x09
31 Then just irattach irda0 -s 1 which *should* load all the modules you need
32 and start it doing irda discovery.
33 The modules I have loaded at this point are: nsc-ircc and irda.
34 - Run irdadump to see that it is indeed attempting to discover something.
35 You should see messages like:
36 15:24:07.380360 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=0 (14)
37 15:24:07.470333 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=1 (14)

42 15:24:07.920311 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=* langly hint=0400 [ Computer
44 - Place the phone in front of it, enable the Infrared parts of it (Menu 90)
45 then it should change to be like:
46 15:26:07.380336 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=0 (14)
47 15:26:07.470288 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=1 (14)
48 15:26:07.560284 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=2 (14)
49 15:26:07.650281 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=3 (14)
50 15:26:07.740280 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=4 (14)
51 15:26:07.847192 xid:rsp 0c57083d < d10e0000 S=6 s=4 Nokia 6210 hint=b125 [ PnP Modem Fax Telephony IrCOMM IrOBEX ] (27)

53 15:26:07.920283 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=* langly hint=0400 [ Computer
55 - Now try using ircomm to talk to the phone. Try minicom /dev/ircomm0 (you
56 may need to setup a default profile for this port as the root user with
57 minicom -s /dev/ircomm0).
58 - This depends on your distribution having the right lines in modules.conf
59 for ircomm to be loaded:
60 alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
61 alias char-major-160 irda0
62 alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
63 And your /dev/ircomm0 should be character device 161,0.
64 Debian testing/unstable gets this right.
65 If these don't work you may need to load ircomm and ircomm-tty manually.
66 - minicom /dev/ircomm0 should now work and AT commands should function.
67 - With a .gnokiirc modified as follows:
71 gnokii --monitor should now function.
73 [huggie@langly ~]$ gnokii --monitor
74 Entering monitor mode...
80 Not all the functions for 6210 work yet seemingly.
82 - If instead gnokii hangs then you may have a version of gnokii that still
83 has recv() in irda_open of common/devices/unixirda.c. Just comment out
84 that line, recompile and try again.
