Notes:

dev_img 1.6 available but requires a kernel module not part of default Sharp ROM: http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8465

image_setup.sh script tries to automate setup of dev_img

calls compiler_setup.sh (within image) on mount success

Contains: zgcc, make, perl 5.8…

warn: breaks previous installation of perl

warn: image doesn't mount automatically with default setup. Manually mount when required:

  1. mount /mnt/dev

Setup:

Setup dev_img 1.5

Install dev_img file somewhere (ex SD):

<CARD>/dev_img-1.5

Execute setup script

  1. sh image_setup.sh <path_to dev_img-1.5> <mount_point>

ex: 

 # sh image_setup.sh /mbt/card/dev_img-1.5 /mnt/dev

This should install mount points in fstab and setup environment

If installation successful relog or load ~/.profile manually

$ source ~/.profile

Confirm:

System maintenance

WWW:

C760 English Service Menus OESF: http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=C760_English_Service_Menus

Zaurus SL-C700 service menus: http://downloads.conics.net/pda/zaurus-sl-c700/service-menus/

System Maintenance menu Access:

Maintenance Menu (User): at boot hold OK (keyboard)

Used for RAM format, ROM flash updates

Service menu: at boot hold D` and `M (keyboard) until service menu appears (only a few seconds)

Used for hardware diagnostic and NAND Backup

Quit: from page 3/3, 7. Extra MENU

Note: only works from "/sbin/reboot" ? (doesn't works from power on)

Turning Zaurus Device Off:

From running system:

use /sbin/reboot in a terminal

  1. /sbin/reboot

Then immediately hold key combination

ex: hold "OK" key

Hardware (from Sharp ROM update instructions):

Unlock battery for 5 seconds

Hold Fn+Home keys while locking battery

Hold key combination then power device on

RAM Format (Reset)

Notes:

Erases user storage in Zaurus RAM (/home,… ?) -> factory reset

Zaurus has to be connected to external power source (either AC or USB)

Step-by-step:

Access Maintenance Menu:

Plug Zaurus device to AC

Boot device while holding OK key

Example:

Inside a term 

       # sudo reboot

Then immediately hold OK key until Maintenance Menu appears

Select option: full erase/format

Option 3: kanzen shoukyo (format) Then validate: hai (Y)

Zaurus device should then automatically reboot

First boot/Initial configuration

Tap screen to start initial configuration

Calibrate screen

Set date/hour/calendar preferences

Timezone Hour (hour/mins) Date (year/month/day) 12h/24h Starting day: sunday/monday

Enter owner informations:

Sharp ROM Update

Notes:

C860 ROM 1.40JP: http://support.ezaurus.com/sl-c860/update/c860update/c860updatecard.asp

Required:

Updater files from support.ezaurus.com

CF or SD card FAT16 formatted with > 64MB free

AC Power cable (USB Power cable OK)

Step-by-step:

Verifications

Not required when starting from an empty system

Prepare CF Card:

Format 64MB+ CF Card with FAT filesystem

Copy ROM updater files to CF root:

initrd.bin zImage.bin mversion.bin updater.sh

Update ROM

Access Maintenance menu

Hold OK key while turning device on Connect Zaurus device to AC Power

Select option "Update"

Option 4: Update Confirm: hai (Y)

Wait for the rom upgrade to complete, zaurus should automatically reboot when done

System upgrade confirmation:

Settings/Version report should show: ROM Version 1.40JP

[Optional] Format RAM

NAND Flash Backup/Restore

Notes (as of SL-C860, ROM 1.20JP)

NAND Flash exact content ?

Even though NAND Size for SL-C860 devices is 128MB, NAND Backup won't fit on a 128MB CompactFlash card for various reason. Use a bigger card (min 160MB)

Backup to CompactFlash only (can't backup to SD)

Operated from Service Menu (Hold "D" and "M" keys at boot)

SL-860 ROM:

File systc860.dbk, 132.1MB

Required:

CF Card with enough free space to hold Flash Backup (Space > 132MB)

NAND Backup:

Access Service Menu

Backup NAND content:

Access NAND Flash Back Up menu

Either: 

       SERVICE(3/3) -> 1. NAND Flash Back Up
       SERVICE(3/3) -> 7. Extra Menu -> 2. NAND Flash Back Up

Confirm NAND backup execution

ex session: 

       file: SYSTC860.DBK
       (will prompt for delete/override if file already exists)
       CF Free: 297.0MB
       Execute backup?
       -> then hit Enter

Wait for backup to complete (~5 mins), then return to main menu

Watch green progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Hit "Cancel" (keyboard) when operation seems finished to go back to main menu. Note: there's no confirmation for successful backup other than a filled progress bar. A "Backup...failed User brack" message will however display if "Cancel" has been pressed before backup could complete

Quit Service Menu and restart Zaurus device

Quit Service Menu:

SERVICE(3/3) -> 7. Extra Menu -> ?. Reset (this will power off your device)

Restart Zaurus:

Hit Power button

Restore:

Access Service Menu

From Service Menu

SERVICE(3/3) -> 7. Extra Menu -> 3. NAND Flash Back Restore
