I’m hitting:
tcgetattr(fd, &tp): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Does anyone know how to fix that?

Hi Mike.

I had the same problem and solved it by modprobe -r ALL modules listed by
$ lsmod | grep usbserial
in my case the modules are cp210x option usb_wwan
so I run
$ sudo modprobe -r cp210x option usb_wwan

After that I load ONLY cp20x by
$ sudo modprobe cp210x

And tried pairing. Make sure the watch is not in “save energy” mode. SOmetimes I have to unload/load twice cp210x to make it work, but at the end it always works. Love Ubuntu and 405!!!

Regards from Mexico.

Ok I fixed the error above. It was either changing my rules.d rule to be MODE=”0666″ rather than MODE=”666″, or the fact that I started up without plugging in the modem at any stage after rebooting (more likely). Love the 405!

Ral,

Be careful – if you’re installing “gant” from the repositories it is the wrong “gant”!! Install the one that littleowl mentions above. The one you have installed is a java building tool and not relevant to the garmin. If you install the one above into a local directory and run it using the full path command then that fixes the problem.

Everyone else – I have installed the script, however my gamin doesn’t show up as a /dev/ttyUSBX device – possibly because I use a wireless broadband modem and this mucks around with it. I tried adding a rule to /etc/udev/rules.d but nothing seems to work. Anyone dealt witht his problem? (I’m on 10.04).

– Mark

Thanks, it works for me.
Is it possible to send data to the 405, like new firmware?
