(1) Configure connection (as root)

Use synce-serial-config(8) 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) program handles the SynCE connection. This daemon is run by the user.

(3) Start the connection (as root)

Use synce-serial-start(8) 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).

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