iPod devices officially support only two baud rates, 19200 (third-generation iPods) and 57600 (all other devices). |
The utility iofs-ser-ipod.so provides the transport mechanism for connection to iPod devices through a serial connection. It is loaded by iofs-ipod when it is started with the transport mechanism set to ser (for serial devices).
The audio option sets the path to the location from where io-media should read in the audio. This option can be used for when iPod accessed through serial transport (iofs-ser-ipod.so) and for iPods accessed through USB transport (iofs-usb-ipod.so).
If you specify a path for the audio option, io-media reads the audio from the location specified by this path. For example, with serial audio, you can specify the audio path to the location of the serial iPod audio driver's capture device as follows:
# io-fs-ipod -dipod,transport=ser:dev=/dev/ser1:audio=/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
When io-media needs to read in audio data (to push it out to the sound card output), it will read from this audio string.
Start the iPod filesystem for an iPod with a serial cable connection:
# io-fs-media -dipod,transport=ser,acp=i2c
This command uses the default:
and is equivalent to:
# io-fs-media -dipod,transport=ser:dev=/dev/ser1, \ acp=i2c:addr=0x10:path=/dev/i2c0
