OK, so I finally got my hands on Freamons C/C++-tools-pnd and thought: "What could I possibly want to try here?". And the answer, quite surprisingly, was lxtools. For those not in the know (i.e. everyone except me, hmc and some other guy whose name I've forgotten), lxtools are command-line utilities for communicating with a hp200lx (or 100lx) over a serial connection. Backing up, copying files, that sort of thing. I thought I'll try this, since it was
1) Fairly simple (only text based)
2) Not used by a lot of people (i.e. if I fail completely, he boards wont hate me)
3) Something I want.
So far, so good - A quick make compiled everything with no more than a few warnings. My setbacks so far are hardware-wise - The pandora does not recognize my USB-to-serial-cable, and so actually trying it with the LXes is right now a smidgen difficult. That will be fixed in the end, though. My goal for this one is to make a pnd with the command line tools and hopefully LXFileman, too. We'll see. Since this is my first go at pandora-developing, I'll go slowly
Still, question: Anyone have a link to, or a make of, USB-to-serial-thingie that is known good with the pandora? The one I have works with my ubuntu netbook, but is "not enumerated" according to dmesg.
