Title: Help! Problems With Cfu1 (cf->usb)
Post by: yzord on April 05, 2005, 03:15:10 pm

Hello all,
Was trying to get the CFU1 card working properly on a SL5500 and having absolutely no luck. For some reason the card works flawlessly with my C760, but will not work at all on the SL5500.

Have tried:
1) plainjane Sharp 3.13 (fresh install + drivers)
2) Cacko Kernel + theKompany ROM alpha3 + drivers
3) Opie 3.13 beta (freshinstall + builtin drivers)

I downloaded drivers from
http://www.sky.sannet.ne.jp/morostar/zaurus/Zaurus.html (http://www.sky.sannet.ne.jp/morostar/zaurus/Zaurus.html)
(or go direct to the download page at http://www.sky.sannet.ne.jp/morostar/download/download.html) (http://www.sky.sannet.ne.jp/morostar/download/download.html)
which has the driver set + all the modules (many of which I have never seen).

Unfortunately, the person who made the original driver is no longer online - http://paipai.org/~humorum/pukiwiki/pukiwi...ZaurusCfu1_dist (http://paipai.org/~humorum/pukiwiki/pukiwiki.php?ZaurusCfu1_dist) (dead link). But it looks like the drivers are the newest ones. The drivers are going to the right place, and everything should just work, but I'm obviously missing something...

Anyway, I don't understand why this seems to work perfectly on the C760 and not work at all on the SL5500, as I dont believe it has any kernel modifications that are necessary. In fact, the driver seems to load up when the card is inserted, but the devices I've tested (a keyboard and a barcode reader) will not ever power up if I connect them after the CF card is inserted.
I can *sometimes* get the devices to power up if I hook them up before inserting the cf card, but even when that heppens, it still fails to pass any data. And many times after repeated tries, the whole unit will hard-lock - needing the battery to be pulled to reboot.

I'm at wits end - any help out there? Or does anyone know how Maslovsky made it happen on the C7x0 Roms? What are the magical incantations I'm missing here??

Oh, that's interesting.

I added the cfu1 driver to OE (well I posted it on the mailing list, I've no idea whether it's in yet). It works fine on my C750, and I'll have to try it out on my 5500 and see if I can come up with anything.

Thanks Lardman, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look.
