Suunto PC POD ( usb stick ) unreacheable

[remicade]

Hello,

At the moment I am playing with Suunto Training Manager Lite. The program starts easily under Wine. But it does not connect to the USB stick needed for communication to my T3 watch....
Are there any easy things to tweak or will it be impossible?

Thanks in advance!

Wine does not support USB.
If this is USB->Serial device then you have a chance to get it working. But if it's a pure USB device and Linux doesn't have any drivers for it - then there is not much Wine can do.

Hi,
That's a problem, for me.....
Is there any change it will be supported ever?

What other alternatives are there? What can i do to get USB supported?

Thanks Paul

Wine can't do that unless Linux (or whatever operating system Wine's
running on) supports it.

So it'd be a matter of someone writing a kernel driver for it.

You might ask the manufacturer to contact the Linux Driver Project,
who would be happy to help them: http://lwn.net/Articles/276973/

Submit it to the Linux driver project. Hopefully they can add support
for it in Linux.

As far as alternatives, you could run windows in vmware/virtualbox.
They support USB.
