# synce(1)

A project for connecting to devices running Windows CE or Pocket PC.

## NAME

SynCE - A project for connecting to devices running Windows CE or Pocket PC.

## DESCRIPTION

The following steps are required to get started with SynCE:

### (1) Configure connection (as root)

Use [synce-serial-config(8)](/synce-serial-config/8.md) to setup a connection using serial cable or infrared. This configuration must be done with root privileges.

This only needs to be done the first time you run SynCE, or when you want to connect through a different port.

### (2) Start the connection daemon (as user)

The [dccm(1)](/dccm/1.md) program handles the SynCE connection. This daemon is run by the user.

### (3) Start the connection (as root)

Use [synce-serial-start(8)](/synce-serial-start/8.md) to make your device initiate a connection to dccm.

### (4) Run tools that access the device (as user)

See for example pls(1) and [pcp(1)](/pcp/1.md).

### (5) Stop the connection (as root)

Use [synce-serial-abort(8)](/synce-serial-abort/8.md) to make you device disconnect from dccm.

See http://synce.sourceforge.net/ for more information about the SynCE project.
