Hello everybody,

next week i want to go skiing and track the piste for Openstreetmap. But I 
don't want to use the Freerunner for that but the i-blue 747 from Transystem. 
I want to use the Freerunner only as storage device for the log files.

So, I have installed mtkbabel for reading the logger.
The kernel has the right module for this chipset, cp2101, wich I can load with 
"modprobe cp2101".

I know, that i have to set the Freerunner to USB host mode. I used the 
openmoko-panel to switch to USB host mode.

My problem now is, the Freerunner doesn't record, that I connect the i-blue to 
it.

On my Ubuntu desktop PC i get the following messages:

carsten at laptop:~$ dmesg
[ 2665.368067] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[ 2665.550347] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

[ 2665.960236] cp2101: Silicon Labs CP2101/CP2102 RS232 serial adaptor driver 
v0.07


But on the Freerunner I don't get any new message, wenn I put the i-blue to 
the USB slot.

My question now is, what do I have to install or configure, to get a 
connection between the Freerunner and the i-blue? I would be glad for any hint 
in the right direction.

Thank you.

Greetings, Carsten
