Download the Explor@ Park exe file from the official website

Run the installer with wine

I got this error:

00c0:err:module:open_builtin_file failed to load .so lib "/usr/lib32/wine/wldap32.dll.so" 00c0:err:module:import_dll Loading library WLDAP32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\users\\cedric\\Temp\\qt_temp.XRUs3219097\\SetupLoader.exe") failed (error c000007a). 00c0:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Importing dlls for L"C:\\users\\cedric\\Temp\\qt_temp.XRUs3219097\\SetupLoader.exe" failed, status c0000135

Turns out I needed to upgrade wine and install lib32-libldap.

App is installed correctly and run, but fails to connect to the MagiBook through USB despites it being detected by lsusb.

Bus 001 Device 033: ID 0f88:1785 VTech Holdings, Ltd LeapStart

At this point the battery died on me and I had to wait for the battery to charge again.

Reading the User’s Manual under section 4.3.1 Serial and Parallel Ports gives this hint :

ls -l ~/.wine/dosdevices/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 cedric cedric 10 12 jan 2020 c: -> ../drive_c lrwxrwxrwx 1 cedric cedric 10 10 sep 09:50 com1 -> /dev/ttyS0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 cedric cedric 10 10 sep 09:50 com2 -> /dev/ttyS1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 cedric cedric 10 10 sep 09:50 com3 -> /dev/ttyS2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 cedric cedric 10 10 sep 09:50 com4 -> /dev/ttyS3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 cedric cedric 8 12 jan 2020 d:: -> /dev/sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 cedric cedric 1 12 jan 2020 z: -> /

Now I guess all I have to do is figure out which TTY is being used by the USB connection and make a symlink accordingly. Since folders up to com4 already exists I guess I can create a com5 folder for that.

usb-devices (...)

At this point I realize the MagiBook is considered as a mass-storage and is not mounted on my system yet, maybe I need to fix that first.

Batteries are charged, I plug it back in and run dmesg just right after, this does not look good :
