pilot-link

Thanks to dentonlt for:

Code: [Select]

Title:          pilot-link-base.tcz [TESTING]
Description:    CLI tools for Palm OS devices
Version:        0.12.4 + changes
Author:         Kenneth Albanowski, David A. Desrosiers, et al.
Original-site:  http://www.pilot-link.org/
Copying-policy: GNU GPL 2
Size: 232k
Extension_by:   dentonlt

Comments: Pilot-link is a collection of tools for communication
with a Palm OS device. Pilot-link supports Linux, OSX,
and theoretically Windows via Cygwin. Pilot Link is
used by J-Pilot and other GUI tools.

Since no major, new products are using Palm OS, version
0.12.4 was to be the last official release, and the
project site is not online all the time (!). 0.12.4
does not reliably work on Tiny Core 2.7 however (for
dentonlt, at least - it crashes at random). 

This extension includes significant changes to support 
libusb-1.0 and Tiny Core 2.7. Tested on TC 2.7 with a
Palm Tungsten E.

Use "pilot-xfer" from the CLI to interact with your 
handheld. Example for 'list':

pilot-xfer -p usb: -l -t 5

For help, see the online man pages or use pilot-xfer
without arguments.

This is the base extension. It includes libraries,
the pilot-xfer binary, and source file for libusb.c.
Headers and other binaries are in the dev extension.

If someone wants to do their own build/edits, I've posted the build script and a short debugging script at http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=4524.msg23739#msg23739

One more for the info file: If you can, back up your data some other way before trying pilot-xfer. Good sense saves much angst.
