ActiveSync Registry Settings

Hi all

Our target device (x86) has only one serial interface, COM2.
Is it possible to use ActiveSync with the COM2 serial interface?
I recaptured COM1 according to the article from Dennis Krabbe.
We want to use the same image for a different target device which
has two serial ports.
My registries in platform.reg look like this:

IF BSP_NOSERIAL !
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial]
"SysIntr"=dword:14
"IoBase"=dword:03F8
"IoLen"=dword:8
"DeviceArrayIndex"=dword:0
"Prefix"="COM"
"Dll"="Com16550.Dll"
"Order"=dword:0
"Priority"=dword:0
; Turn on follows for Installable ISR (isr16550 supporting SOFTWARE FIFO
; "Irq"=dword:3
; "IsrDll"="isr16550.dll"
; "IsrHandler"="ISRHandler"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial\Unimodem]
"Tsp"="Unimodem.dll"
"DeviceType"=dword:0
"FriendlyName"=LOC_FRIENDLYNAME_SERIAL
"DevConfig"=hex: 10,00, 00,00, 05,00,00,00, 10,01,00,00, 00,4B,00,00,
00,00, 08, 00, 00, 00,00,00,00
ENDIF BSP_NOSERIAL !

IF BSP_SERIAL2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial2]
"SysIntr"=dword:13
"IoBase"=dword:02E8
"IoLen"=dword:8
"DeviceArrayIndex"=dword:1
"Prefix"="COM"
"Dll"="Com16550.Dll"
"Order"=dword:0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial2\Unimodem]
"Tsp"="Unimodem.dll"
"DeviceType"=dword:0
"FriendlyName"=LOC_FRIENDLYNAME_SERIAL2
"DevConfig"=hex: 10,00, 00,00, 05,00,00,00, 10,01,00,00, 00,4B,00,00,
00,00, 08, 00, 00, 00,00,00,00
ENDIF BSP_SERIAL2

I also made the following entry according to the online documentation
of ActiveSync:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"SerialBaudRate"=dword:0000e100
"SerialPort"="Serial2"

The recaptured COM1 port works fine. But somehow I can't open a connection
via ActiveSync on COM2. Can anybody help me?
Thanks

Roger,

make sure you have added the Activesync catalogue item to your platform then
make sure that both serial ports are working; once this is confirmed you
then need to create a connectoid for Activesync you do this by booting the
CE platform and...:

1. Start - Settings - Network & Dial-up Connections

2. Make New Connection

3. connection name: ACTIVESYNC

4. Direct Connection

5. NEXT

6. Select Device: Serial Cable on COM2:

7. Configure

8. Port Settings: deselect all check boxes

9. Port Settings: 19200, 8, N, 1, HARDWARE

10. Call Options: deselect all check boxes

11. OK

12. FINISH

13. File - Close

Now that you have created the connectoid you need to select it
automatically:

14. Start - Settings - Control Panel

15. PC Connection

16. Check: allow connection with desktop computer when device is attached

17. Connect using: ACTIVESYNC

18. OK

19. File - Close

And there you go...

once you've confirmed that Activesync is working I suggest you export the
relevant sections of the registry and add them to you platform; therefore
whenever your platform boots you will always have the connectoid :)
