34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm uvisor
37.Nd "USB support for the PalmOS based PDAs"
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39To compile this driver into the kernel,
40place the following lines in your
41kernel configuration file:
42.Bd -ragged -offset indent
43.Cd "device usb"
44.Cd "device ucom"
45.Cd "device uvisor"
46.Ed
47.Pp
48Alternatively, to load the driver as a
49module at boot time, place the following line in
50.Xr loader.conf 5 :
51.Bd -literal -offset indent
52uvisor_load="YES"
53.Ed
54.Sh DESCRIPTION
55The
56.Nm
57driver provides support for USB based PalmOS PDAs, like Handspring
58Visor, Palm Mxxx series, and Sony Clie.
59.Pp
60The device is accessed through the
61.Xr ucom 4
62driver which makes it behave like a
63.Xr tty 4 .
64The device has several ports for different purposes, each of them gets its
65own
66.Xr ucom 4
67device.
68The attach message describes the purpose of each port.
69.Pp
70The usual Pilot tools can be used to access the attached device on the
71HotSync port.
