You can get the official kernel, either complete or just the patches for the

Zaurus there. You can also get the official root-filesystem, that is the

|
|
|
|
Check the documentation at SHARP how to create your zImage, bootflag and
|
|
initrd for flashing the ROM of the Zaurus with your custom setup. Or go to
|
|
your country-specific division of SHARP to get a complete ROM in one file
|
|
called "ospack", which is

The kernel is rather old: 2.4.6 with 2.4.6-rmk2-patches and some more from

The root filesystem from SHARP is known for its weird structure with
|
|
symbolic links all over the place.
|
|
|
|
The custom compile worked. Remember to hit the "/"-key when the Zaurus
|
|
displays "Wait... ", so you can choose to start a login instead of QTopia,
|
|
which is not available then. Unless you downloaded QTopia, (cross-)compiled
|
|
it and installed it into the root filesystem.
|
|
BTW, you can create a new user with "adduser", a command provided by BusyBox.

tries to create the same environment as the one from SHARP, but
|
|
based upon free software only.
|
|
|
|
At the moment, it still uses the old kernel from Sharp, but slightly
|
|
modified in regards of usage of the FLASH-ROM as RAM and division of RAM
|
|
between RAMDISK and RAM. Unfortunately, the driver for the SD-controller is
|
|
binary-only and thus non-free. But also SHARP itself tries to convince the
|
|
vendor, SDCA, to provide the sources for the public.
|
|
|
|
Moreover,
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="http://openzaurus.org/"
|
|
TARGET="_top"
|
|
>OpenZaurus</A

|

created a sane root-filesystem we all know from our
|
|
regular Linux systems. It also replaces QTopia by

|
|
, which
|
|
is a fork from QTopia with no relations to Trolltech anymore. All
|
|
applications from QTopia should run on OPIE, but not quite: The Doom-like
|
|
game called Zraycast does not run on OPIE, but does on QTopia (more or less).
|
|
|
|
You can download a ready zimage, bootflag and initrd directly or checkout the
|
|
sources from CVS. The downloaded images worked fine.

, which makes it a little bit easier. The maintainer has therefore
|
|
stripped down some more tools to fit them into the Flash-ROM.
|
|
It uses the kernel provided by

and thus the one from Sharp.
|
|
There are some issues with the RAMdisk, calibration of the stylus and
|
|
sleep / power-off/-on.
|
|
|
|
As soon as it is in a more stable state, it will join forces with

|
and the sources will become available (probably already furnished upon
|
|
request). The downloaded images still have to be tweaked. :)
|
|
|
|
All systems, including the sources from SHARP, are set to use the US
|
|
keyboard layout (or the German keyboard). It seems that the keymap
|
|
available is fixed in the kernel and there are no user-space tools
|
|
installed per default to change this. Perhaps I will give the package
|
|
"console-tools" on Debian a try.

which explains the necessary steps for setup (Ethernet-over-USB). It is not
|
|
quite up-to-date, because SHARP has tightened the security with their current
|
|
ROM-release, so you have to give the IP-address 192.168.129.1 to your usb0
|
|
network device. You have to download and compile a patch for your kernel
|
|
to use the driver usbdnet (see aforementioned website). Afterwards, a
|
|
connection between the QTopia-Desktop and the Zaurus is possible.
|
|
I had a lot of problems with the usb network layer on my system and could not
|
|
sync properly. A switch from the driver uhci to usb-uhci for my host dit it.
|
|
Just recently I had to reboot my notebook and the Zaurus due to a hiccup in
|
|
the corresponding usb-net drivers. The network via an ethernet-card in the
|
|
CF-slot is much more reliable than the connection via usb and you can still
|
|
use the keyboard. The disadvantage is, that you cannot have a storage device
|
|
in your CF-slot while you are on-line.

|

There is a site which offers a
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~jpc1/linux/ipaq/serial.html"
|
|
TARGET="_top"
|
|
>serial keyboard driver and a patch for the iPAQ</A
|
|
>
|
|
. Since the iPAQ and the Zaurus are based on the same CPU architecture,
|
|
StrongArm, I hope that the driver provided there will also work on the
|
|
Zaurus. You also need a user-space tool called
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>inputattach</B
|
|
>, which you can also get from there (source
|
|
or binary for ARM). I got a Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite with a PS/2
|
|
connector. An adaptor translates to serial which itself is plugged into
|
|
to the Collie serial <-> serial connector. I do not know if this
|
|
chain is even possible to work. The provided patch applied with only one
|
|
failing hunk which made a trivial change in the sources
|
|
(include/linux/serio.h) necessary; check the output. After having
|
|
re-configured the SHARP kernel config and having compiled the modules, I
|
|
transferred them to the Zaurus. The modules marked and created are:
|
|
newtonkbd.o, serio.o, serport.o and perhaps stowaway.o from
|
|
drivers/char/joystick/ and input.o and keybdev.o from drivers/input/.
|
|
When you start <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>inputattach</B
|
|
>, you have to use the line
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>inputattach --newtonkbd /dev/ttyS0</B
|
|
>, _not_ ttySA0 as
|
|
stated on the website. For some strange reason, the Collie serial driver
|
|
does not comply to the official StrongARM documentation of the kernel,
|
|
which states that the serial ports are accessible via /dev/ttySAx. And
|
|
because the serial_collie.o is already compiled into the Sharp kernel,
|
|
you do not have to load the generic module serial.o. Well, I also tried
|
|
the serial_collie.o as a module, while it was still compiled into the
|
|
kernel. There were no complaints when loading it, but the system froze
|
|
unpredictably, so I had to do a soft-reset quite often. Why can I load a
|
|
module whose code is already in the kernel, I wonder... Anyway, it does
|
|
not work. :( I tried inputattach in the --dump mode (you have to
|
|
undefine a variable in the source and recompile) and it seems that there
|
|
is nothing happening between the serial port and the keyboard. The call
|
|
for select (man 2 select) fails due to a timeout.

device drivers and Free Software embedded systems. In particular, it

includes uClibc cross-compiling toolchains for several embedded

architectures (currently ARM, i386, MIPS, mipsel, PPC, and m68k) and
|

emulators (currently qemu and SkyEye). It can be used for demonstration or

training purposes, or by developers who cannot install GNU/Linux on their

workstations.

|
> SHARP introduced a proprietary serial interface at the bottom of the Zaurus
|
|
SL-5x00 series. You can buy an adaptor to a regular serial interface from them, but
|
|
unfortunately, the plug is very thick and you cannot open the slide for the
|
|
keyboard anymore. Hopefully, you can still plug an external keyboard into this port!
|
|
You can at least plug the power cord into the adaptor so you do not have to
|
|
run on battery. There are third-party adaptors available, which overcome
|
|
this caveat.

> There is no speaker for the soundchip of the SL-5500. You have to use the socket for the
|
|
headphones to hear OggVorbis and the alikes. The buzzer currently supports
|

only 14 different sounds defined in
