40.Dt UVISOR 4
41.Os
42.Sh NAME
43.Nm uvisor
44.Nd USB support for the Handspring Visor, a Palmpilot compatible PDA
45.Sh SYNOPSIS
46To compile this driver into the kernel,
47place the following lines in your
48kernel configuration file:
49.Bd -ragged -offset indent
50.Cd "device uvisor"
51.Cd "device ucom"
52.Ed
53.Pp
54Alternatively, to load the driver as a
55module at boot time, place the following line in
56.Xr loader.conf 5 :
57.Bd -literal -offset indent
58uvisor_load="YES"
59.Ed
60.Sh DESCRIPTION
61The
62.Nm
63driver provides support for the Handspring Visor, a Palmpilot compatible PDA.
64.Pp
65The device is accessed through the
66.Xr ucom 4
67driver which makes it behave like a
68.Xr tty 4 .
69The device has several ports for different purposes, each of them gets its
70own
71.Xr ucom 4
72device.
73The attach message describes the purpose of each port.
74.Pp
75The usual Pilot tools can be used to access the Visor on the HotSync port.
76.Sh SEE ALSO
77.Xr tty 4 ,
78.Xr ucom 4 ,
79.Xr usb 4
80.Sh HISTORY
81The
82.Nm
83driver was adopted from
84.Nx 1.5
85in August 2002.  This manual page was adopted from
86.Nx
87by
88.An Tom Rhodes Aq trhodes@FreeBSD.org
89at that time.
90.Sh BUGS
91The code to provide multiple ucom instances has not yet been ported
92from
93.Nx .
94It's unclear whether this driver works in its current state.
