Title: QTopia Sync Specification
Post by: Elleomea on November 05, 2004, 02:04:33 pm

Can anyone point me in the direction of any documentation relating to the Zaurus' synchronisation methods? I'd like to write Zaurus support in to a podcast program I'm working on; virtually everything I've come across so far seems to have been just aimed at designing programs to run on a Zaurus, rather than to work with a Zaurus from a separate machine via the sync functions.

Cheers,
 Mike.

Ah, it appears that information isn't actually released by Sharp; For anyone else's reference I've come across the Zaurus Synchronization Reverse Engineering Project (http://zsrep.sourceforge.net/) which could prove useful.

What exactly do you mean by sync specification?

The protocol used for synchronising data between the Zaurus and QTopia Desktop, but I've decided to do what I was planning in a different manner now, that'll work across more third party ROMs; so it's not really important.

The 'protocol' used on later Sharp rom is samba, all others use ftp.

I am sure the methods (the signals from Qtopia Desktop and from the device) used to sync are quite similiar.
