QUOTE I believe the scoop is a proprientary Sharp's ASIC, so the datasheet most probably never would be published or made public. Yes it is an ASIC but by EPSON: http://www.eea.epson.com/go/Prod_Admin/Cat...ays.GA_SLA50000 This is a gate array and we probably will never know what sharp has putted into it. It is a pity. QUOTE What about stuart? In case you don;t need SIR. I'd better use FFUART since it have RTS/CTS lines. And stuart is such slow as ffuart is. |

It is a pity. not necessarily.. it depends on how the gate array is programmed. if it's programmed by Epson, then we're out of luck. If it's a field programmable array and programmed on the board, then maybe just maybe Sharp don't protect the array so it could be read out again from its firmware. However, even if we did have the firmware file, it's a huge effort to reverse engineer the programmer's logic from it. sigh. |

If i'm understanding a datasheet provided by epson right than it's programmed by Epson. I've just discovered that FFUART on my pxa250 is working very good at baud rates exceeding 230400. And that's strange because intel says allmost on every page of it's datasheet that you must not exceed this speed. Anyway i'll do more testing and if it will work stable enought than that will be a solution. |

I'd be concerned that this could damage the drivers in the long run, or simply cause overheating in localised hotspots on the CPU and damage it. I presume from your comments that you've successfully connected a BT module to your SL-C700. What module did you use, and do you have photos of how you connected it?

I don't think so. I don't think that increasing speed of a couple of transistors can cause any overheating of the CPU even in localised hotspots. A CPU core isn't located just in the air. It's contained in a package that among other things is distributing a heat over the whole CPU. And since this CPU was not made using 90 nm tehnology not even 130 nm it has a big reserve for overheating. And i've not seen any rising temp. Anyway i'm still testing.

I thought that Class 1 device would eat battery faster than Class 2 because of transmit power? Also peak power load is suppoosed to be higher. Where you woud attach that huge antenna? How fast you are able to run your ffuart? I'm getting 460800 on C1K ffuart (pxa270), but having problems @ 921600. -albertr |

Or take a bit more pictures... I didn't understand, do you have any power control on your bluetooth now, or not? Thanks. Mikhail |

QUOTE(2x4ever @ Sep 2 2005, 12:40 AM) The only power control i have for now is cutting wires ![]() It's not so bad idea ![]() But, by the way, is it possible to use same gpio which are used for the Zaurus syncronization cable? I don't know much about it, but I think an ability... May be, you can use this? For example, if zaurus are in connection with computer there is no ability to change bluetooth power (it can be turned on - if you have Zaurus in the connection, so, perhaps you also have a power supply pluged in), but, when you have cable unpluged you can change power on the bluetooth... You can also take power from synchronization cable... To albert: Why you didn't want to create in your C1000 small usb hub and use it for usual usb connection with a usb bluetooth dongle? Mikhail |

I even tried to wire a small 1.1 hib, but my soldering skills are not so good, so I guess I just fried it. Pity, but it didn't work out. -albertr |

Sh*t. My bluetooth dongle is just sudenly stopped to work today. I can't even imagine why it did this. There is no any signal on the UART and USB. It's seems that i must buy a new dongle.
