Hello, We are using a device with a single board computer embeded inside. It has a usb and rs232 ports. I tried ActiveSync and windows device mobile center but my PC did not detect the device and I couldn't sync. Any way for doing this? or any software I can find for this?

Picture of the computer brand is attached:

thx

Moving this to Single Board Computers.

Even if I can't see files and directories or there were no files or directories still It will be OK if I can read the code inside SBC and inspect it and write it back into the SBC. Is this possible? If so how?
 
These seem like questions best answered by the vendor/OEM of said SBC.

There's no single standard SBC with a standard set of features. You haven't even let us know who made it. It might not even run a standard Linux, for that matter. (We have no way of knowing.)
 
Vendor not answering probably SBC is very old. I really need help with this. Only things is printed on the board is TTM-SA2, 94V-0 (see attached). I understand this looks like a challenging project but keep in mind solving normal issues is not a big thing. It is big when you solve an unsolvable challenging problem.

Device software has an option which can read information I need and display these information on the computer monitor but there is no way of saving these info into a file. I want to save these information in a file as a backup and keep it for the future when device needed repair and loading these info into the device again.

I also tried to log info via "serial port monitor" when I use this option to read the information. This was successful and I can see information I need are there.

I can connect to the device via rs232. I am looking for a way to send commands to the device to read info from a certain address of the memory and to be able to write it back into the same address. I think I can find the address of the info I want from "serial port monitor" log. Now I need to find a tool to be able to read info from that address in binary and write back using the same tool into the same address. Is this possible? If so what tools are out there to help me with this?

Device software uses IRP_MJ_READ command to read info I want (see attached log). May be I can use IRP_MJ_READ and IRP_MJ_write commands to read and write info I want directly. Any advice in this?

I don't have any information about this SBC. I tried to get some info from TTM but no reply from them. Following is a part of the serial port monitor log. There are read and write commands along with communication parameters commands which shows it may be possible to read, change and write back the info I want It seems with a small C program it can be done but I have no knowledge of any type of programing.

From all of the lines bellow I am interested in the lines in bold. This lines reads and write data from and to the device. I need a small program (in C for example) to do all the above lines. I want it ask me first "enter com port" then "enter baud rate" then "enter data address" and then starts reading my requested bytes (for example 12345678) and saving it inside hard disk in a txt file (asking me the file name and place) asks me "enter new value (for example 22222222) and write the new value in place of the previous 12345678 byts (overwriting it) and confirm write was successful.
Would this be possible? I would appreciate if some one has time to do this for me. I can pay in Crypto if it was successful.
Please reply or email me at agooseventapegie (at) gmail (dot) com
