Connecting To A Phone Over USB
Date: 5/8/2006
I got a new phone this week, and I'm looking into connecting to it over a USB cable from user space software on windows. There seems to be some way via the Win32 functions that start with "SetupDi" (e.g. SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetail) and then once you have the phone's DevicePath openning it via CreateFile and possibly talking to it with DeviceIoControl. But I'm guessing in the dark at this point.

My phone supports SyncML so I'd like to attempt using that protocol over USB, but I can't work out how to get communications started.

Comments? Thoughts? Links to information?

fret, it always amuses me when you ask for help on your blog. Have you ever gotten a useful response when you asked a technical question? I think we can safely say that nobody who reads your blog is as saavy as Win32 as you are. Best of luck, though.

But google indexes it and so I'm hoping that one day... maybe... someone might help.

In any case it's good to post so that I can link to the issue from some other forum without repeating myself 10 times.
