How to access the seriat port on sdk 3.0?

[Alx]

Hi all,

I know that accessing serial port is not possible on firmware 2.x for non jailbroken iPhones.

But what about firmware 3.0?

Apple has focused firmware 3.0 on accessories, through bluetooth or through serial port. So, accessing serial port should be possible.

But I can't find any documentation / sample code for that.

Would you please help me?

Regards,
Alx

PS: I tried to read the port /dev/tty.iap and get this message:

Error opening serial port /dev/tty.iap - Permission denied(13).

Looks bad.

From what I've seen, you have to join the Made For iPod program: Made for iPod Program - Apple Developer. There does not seem to be any way for smaller developers to get access to the ports.
