39.Dt UVISOR 4
40.Os
41.Sh NAME
42.Nm uvisor
43.Nd USB support for the Handspring Visor, a Palmpilot compatible PDA
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45To compile this driver into the kernel,
46place the following lines in your
47kernel configuration file:
48.Bd -ragged -offset indent
49.Cd "device uvisor"
50.Cd "device ucom"
51.Ed
52.Pp
53Alternatively, to load the driver as a
54module at boot time, place the following line in
55.Xr loader.conf 5 :
56.Bd -literal -offset indent
57uvisor_load="YES"
58.Ed
59.Sh DESCRIPTION
60The
61.Nm
62driver provides support for the Handspring Visor, a Palmpilot compatible PDA.
63.Pp
64The device is accessed through the
65.Xr ucom 4
66driver which makes it behave like a
67.Xr tty 4 .
68The device has several ports for different purposes, each of them gets its
69own
70.Xr ucom 4
71device.
72The attach message describes the purpose of each port.
73.Pp
74The usual Pilot tools can be used to access the Visor on the HotSync port.
75.Sh SEE ALSO
76.Xr tty 4 ,
77.Xr ucom 4 ,
78.Xr usb 4
79.Sh HISTORY
80The
81.Nm
82driver was adopted from
83.Nx 1.5
84in August 2002.  This manual page was adopted from
85.Nx
86by
87.An Tom Rhodes Aq Mt trhodes@FreeBSD.org
88at that time.
89.Sh BUGS
90The code to provide multiple ucom instances has not yet been ported
91from
92.Nx .
93It's unclear whether this driver works in its current state.
