Hi all,
I am trying to interface the GP2X to the Arduino. I first tried using the Serial port (see previous posts here), but it got messy for some reason I am still investigating.
As the arduino outputs the same on the RX/TX pins as on the 'Virtual USB Serial port', I was wondering if someone got to talk to the arduino using the USB host via FTDI chip. I see FTDI has a driver for linux here but the thing is it needs make, and make is not available on the GP2X. I am not really experienced using Linux and I wonder if someone could explain how to compile the driver for GP2X or compile it for me.
The idea is not being able to program the arduino (I do not need java on the gp2x) but to serially talk to it.
Thanks in advance for any help
