have a circuit that has a serial data stream output. I'd like to use the Compact Flash port on my pocket pc as a serial port thus allowing my device to communicate with the pocket pc through a com port.
An easy solution would be to get a compact flash to rs232 card and then just hook a cable up to my device. But, i'm developping an application demo which i'd rather not have to have my device sloppily connected using a cable and double sided tape to the back of the pda.
I read the spec sheet for CF and i'm confused by what i'd need to do with most of the i/o pins and configuration registers.
I've found a lot of information on how to hook up a PIC to a CF Card. But, my application is a little more complicated since i need to interface with a CF Host controller that's on the Pocket PC. If anyone has any information on how to do this please let me know.
Thanks.
