Unit:

[+] 640x480 display, ok for terms and basic web browsing

[+] Audio out not bad

[+] Keyboard usable for input

[+] Dual slot CF+SD

[+] Size and weight ok

[+] Autonomy with 1700mAh battery ok (2h30-4h30 brightness max)

[-] I/O Port covered with a unconvenient removable plastic cap exposed to loss

[-] No hand strap provided

[-] WiFi not built-in, CF WiFi fills a storage slot and get in the way for keyboard input

[-] LCD colors rendering

[-] CE-RH1 remote bulky

[-] Overall responsiveness lag

Usage:

[+] Music playback: Sharp Musicplayer 2 provides good interface/features for MP3/WMA music playback, alternate players can handle other formats (vorbis…)

[+] Very usable full-featured web browsers (opera/netfront qte)

[+] Good EPWING dictionnaries reader (ztenv), though not quite user-friendly. Built-in handwritten kanji recognition (yet not as accurate/forgiving as Decuma)

[+] Correct terminal emulation, almost 80x25 (qpe-terminal-ja/vga font), with openssh and most of the usual required tools (vim, rsync, cvs, perl, ruby, apache/mysql/php…)

[-] Lack of support for french charsets

Annoyances:

[-] Stops all console applications on sleep (including: su, vim, ssh…)

[-] Slow to wakeup from suspend (>2 seconds unresponsiveness)

[-] Very slow to restart

[-] SD/CF cards sometimes unmount while system is running

[-] Documentation stripped from most packages (no manpages, perldoc…) 2.4. Battery Tests

SL-C860/EA-BL08 (3.7v, 1700mAh):

Charge:

AC: ~4H

USB (VAIO U50, iBook G4): ~4h

Discharge:

WiFi Web Browsing, brightness max: ~2h30 (2h before battery low warning + 35 mins in brightness min)

WiFi Web Browsing, brightness min: ~3h30 (3h15 before battery low warning + 15 mins brightness min)

Term vim, brightness max: ~4h30 (4h + 30 mins brightness min)

MP3 playback, screen off: ~5h45 2.5. Random Notes

Notes:

Default font: lcfont (japanese)

When using USB Mass storage mode (PC-Link), corresponding card is unmounted on Zaurus

Syslog not part on default system

Cron not part of default system

Default user: zaurus

Security passwd same as root password

Default shell: /bin/sh (terminal apps launch a /bin/bash though)

Term size with vga font: 22x79, 20x75 (tab/scrollbar)

Busybox tools very limited (grep not recursive, find…)

Audio out 3.5mm jack connector includes wiring for CE-RH1 remote control and microphone (left speaker)

Fixes

VGA Fonts (size 16), display backslashes instead of Yen symbol in term

Microsoft Corefonts display latin1 characters correctly in opera (unlike default bitstream vera)

Default $TERM: vt100, may be replaced with "ansi" or "linux" 3. System Setup

4.16. Developer Image

WWW:

Developer Image 1.5: http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=UpDownload&file=index&req=viewsdownload&sid=66

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:

$ gcc -v

Fix PATH (.profile not read by default terminal):

File: ~/.bashrc export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/dev/bin:/mnt/dev/usr/bin
