Software for Siemens mobiles by Chaos

SieFS filesystem

SieFS is a virtual filesystem for accessing Siemens mobile phones' memory (flexmem or MultiMediaCard) from Linux. Now you can mount your phone (by datacable or IRDA) and work with it like with any other removable storage.

It was tested on

• S45, ME45, SL45
• S55, SL55, M55, MC60
• CX65, M65, C65, S65

SieFS consists of filesystem module (siefs), command-line utility (slink) and voice memo converter (vmo2wav).

SieFS is based on FUSE, Filesystem in USErspace, an excellent tool for creating custom filesystems with minimal effort. You can download FUSE at http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse.

Requirements

Downloading

siefs-0.5.tar.gz - current version
siefs-0.4.tar.gz
siefs-0.2.tar.gz
siefs-0.1.tar.gz

Installation

How to use

Just mount a communication device to some directory with type siefs:

  mount -t siefs [-o options] /dev/ttyS0 /mnt/mobile

See README file for further information.

If you have old mount version that doesn't support external filesystem types, a command for mounting will be

  fusermount /mnt/mobile siefs /dev/ttyS0 [options]

You can also use slink, command-line OBEX client, to access a filesystem without mounting. Type `slink -h' to view all supported commands.

New version of SieFS contains a converter of voice memo records to wav format, vmo2wav. Just type

  vmo2wav [-o output_file.wav] input_file.vmo

and you can listen your dictaphone records on PC.
