Oliver: I've spent the last week hitting away at this and chasing various red herrings and here is a summary. 1. Proved that Phone does work in Bluetooth DUN mode with Ubuntu - this is not related to my original question but here just as a FYI 2. Moved to doing all the testing on Ubuntu 11.04 to remove any Openwrt idiosyncrasies. However I can't seem to get verbose messages after rebuilding the ubuntu 2.6.38-15 kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG. I also had some issues rebuilding the cdc-acm.c after I defined DEBUG within it. I will try line6_USB_DEBUG later today and see if that helps. 3. Tested a Samsung Windows Mobile (2008 version as opposed to the satellite phone which has WM 2003) with ubuntu. It worked fine. Did a wireshark capture and compared to Ubuntu wireshark of the satphone. In both cases once picocom is started - the host seems to do about 16 bulk transfers to an IN endpoint (0x84 for the satphone). See frame 2568 to 2583 in the pastebin link below. Since it is a IN endpoint there is no response - that seems logical based on my limited understanding of how USB works. Not sure why picocom would want to communicate with a wrong endpoint in both phones. Then when I type an A, a bulk transfer to the OUT endpoint 0x05 is made by the host (see last frame in the pastebin). A late version of Wireshark labels that as a malformed Ethernet packet - but the ubuntu wireshark which is older does not call that out. And then there is no more communications after that for the Satphone. For the Samsung phone - the AT commands work fine and an OK response is received. Also tried microcom terminal emulation with the satphone and found that microcom was able to send the whole AT command but there was no OK response from the satphone. ubuntu wireshark : http://pastebin.com/bN3mkrmT Windows XP: http://pastebin.com/4aTU51FN 5. After some fiddling around with the satphone and reconnecting the phone to the host and starting picocom I found that suddenly the phone is sending CREG messages (unsolicitated registration status messages) to the picocom. These messages are coming from the right IN endpoint 0x84 - but still the same behavior when I try to type an AT command 6. One difference between the Samsung and the Satphone is that the Samsung is using the same endpoint value (2) for bi-directional communications - with 0x82 as the IN endpoint and 0x2 as the OUT endpoint. Not sure why it would make a difference since the device descriptor is right in both phones and should be interpreted fine by the usbcore and driver on ubuntu. 7. I am speculating that the barrage of packets to the IN endpoint caused the Satphone to freeze somehow and not accept the packets on the right OUT endpoint. I have read your earlier response and will try lsusb in this state and see if it responds. ubuntu wireshark : http://pastebin.com/bN3mkrmT Windows XP: http://pastebin.com/4aTU51FN Ashok On Fri, May 25, 2012 at 4:55 AM, Oliver Neukum <oliver@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Am Freitag, 25.
