Instructions For Adding Bluetooth To Sl6000 Options

Attention - It seems that the module needed is not a C09 but a C19 - Speculatrix is inquiring on this. Please do not purchase a C09.


Hello

As I promised long ago, here are some instructions to add bluetooth to your SL6000 Zaurus.

1. Purchase a WML AHR C09 from Segor.de
2. Open your zaurus
3. See the attached picture of a Zaurus without Bluetooth, compared to a Zaurus with Bluetooth
4. Solder the chip accordingly. Note : the long line and the big X are for the antenna. The AHR C09 has an antenna built it, so don't bother.
5. Install bluez, start with:

hciattach /dev/ttyS2 csr 115200
hcid -f /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
sdpd

This will hopefully start bluetooth and lit the blue led.

Then:
hcitool scan
to try to find your cellphone
sdptool browse cellphone_mac_addres
to find the serial port (usually 1)
rfcomm connect 0 cellphone_mac_address serial_port

this way /dev/rfcomm0 will be your cellphone

6. Enjoy the cool hack, and wait for the next upgrade (921 kbps bluetooth)

neuroshock,
You mentioned that your friend might be willing to do more? Which country are you in?

I like the idea of soldering wires... might be fugly but definitely *safer*. would have to solder the device upside down and then criss-cross the wires over the belly of the module.

oh well. I've found someone in the local linux users group who has *some* surface mount expertise, so I will probably have to go with that. I think the bluetooth module will be much easier than the extra flash module.

From having a first hand look inside I must vehemently agree with you. Of the Nand/Flash mem and bluetooth hacks the bluetooth portion will DEFINITELY be the easiest. My friend even made the comment that the bluetooth soldering was even possible by a non-pro if he had a really good soldering iron with a very fine tip point and a steady hand. When looking at the memory upgrade area he mumbled something like: "THAT would need to be chemically affixed or sma mounted *mumble mumble (insert 4-letter word here) mumble- impossible without a sma machine *mumble mumble.* I have NO clue what a sma machine is and I may be misquoting him out of ignorance but he said it would be haaaard. The solder points for the memory upgrade are actually bunder and totally covered by the chip to be installed.

However, I'm gonna have a SERIOUSLY difficult time producing the courage to let him or anyone break open my remaining 6k after this tragedy.

Maybe just promise to stand at least 6-8 feet away. Bring binoculars if you want to watch the details.
