USB Hand-shaking on PocketPC

hi,

I am currently writing code for for my MacOS X machine :evil: to communicate with my EM-500 pocketpc.

I can do Win dev on my mac :twisted: using CodeWarrior. I just need to write some code to download to my PocketPC.
I wrote a basic USB library. Now how do I know if I am hand-shaking with a pocketpc on the other end?

What is the protocol involved? Documents anywhere?

thanks,

Mike N.

I don't know anything about it either, but you may be able to find some information about it at http://handhelds.org/

It is a site mainly dedicated to Linux on the iPAQ, but I remember seeing a link somewhere on it about connecting to the iPAQ through Linux.

The process should be similar, if not identical, for MacOS and an EM-500 (Since ActiveSync can syncronise with any PPC without additional plugins and such, I'm assuming all PPCs use the same interface with regards to USB). The only thing you should need to do differently would be to replace the code necessary USB code with your library, and you should be all set.
