I will be receiving a C3000 from Conics.net in a few days, and would like to dump the Sharp ROM ASAP. I know that most of these issues will require research and testing on an actual unit, but I want to get an idea now of how difficult the porting process will be. I will, of course, help out in any way I can (non-technical user).
Potential Issues: -C3000 has 16MB Flash ROM, versus the 64 or 128MB in previous C-series Zauri. The 4GB Microdrive is designed to take the place of the user memory (storage), but it is not yet known if any of the OS files reside on the HDD. -C3000 uses the new Intel PXA270 **EDIT: C3000 uses the built-in graphics of the PXA270; previous C-series Zauri used the ATi Imageon 100 -C3000 has USB Host capability - not present on previous C-series Zauri. |

C1000 source code is not out yet. I think OZ for C3000 is nearly completed, just a matter of some people owning the hardware doing some tests/polishing/fixes.

Cheers for the responce. Will it be trivial to get an Open Zaurus rom working for the C1000 when it's source code is released? (assuming the C3000 rom is completed.) |

[/quote] Well, if the code is compilable, and the kernel built from that code boots and does what is expected, then I'd say it will be fast, if the C3000 support is finished by then, as I expect the key maps to be equal. I've already booted a opie initrd on top of the stock C1000 rom, and everything more or less worked, except for the special keys. I just wish sharp would hurry with the kernel source... |
