I tried that; there isn't one.

Sharp ROMs / Voice recorder on 3.1c exits
« on: July 31, 2004, 10:19:58 am »
One of the few things that worked out of the box when I got my Zaurus 5500 was the voice recorder.
Unfortunately, enough other things didn't work that I upgraded from whatever ROM that was to the
3.1c rom on the Sharp website.
This is much better in most ways -- both the cf card and the sd cards work, I can network both by USB and by wireless, etc.
However, when I run the voice recorder, every time I push the record button (or do the equivalent from the menu) the application just goes away. i can't find any error messages. I ran it from the terminal, and didn't get any messages that way eiither. The only thing in /var/log/dmesg that I can imagine might be relevant is "RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0."
Does anyone have any ideas about what to do about this? I hate reflashing, but if there's a particularly good voice recorder application that works with a different ROM, i'll consider it. Or a third party one that can be installed on this ROM.
Thanks,

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / help -- OZ won't run USB or read my CF card
« on: July 05, 2004, 10:40:23 am »
I got an SL5500 on Friday, and have completely failed ot make it talk to my desktop computer (a Debian LINUX with kernel 2.4.26).
When I tried to do it with the installed software, I managed to get the USB networking working to the "ping" stage, but I wasn't able to get ssh or ftp to run. All the documentation I found about such problems involved doing things from the terminal, which doesn't come installed.
So I finally went and bought a CF card (lexar 256 MB), and attempted to flash OZ. I eventually was successful with 2.4.18.
Now, there is no reaction from the desktop at all when I put the zaurus into the cradle and push the sync button. Neither /var/log/messages nor 'lsusb' shows any knowledge of the device, although under the original software they both did what I expected. Also, ifconfig on the zaurus doesn't show the usb interface.
Also, while the CF card works fine in the Lexar media reader, and must have worked as expected when I managed to flash the OS in the Zaurus, under OZ I get an icon in the tray but it doesn't seem to be able to read the card. It isn't automounted, and when I try to mount it with "mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf', it says: "/dev/hda1 is not a valid block device?"
I've tried reflashing with the Sharp Ospack, and that doesn't work -- which would be a natural consequence of the system not being able to read the card.
I'm stuck -- does anyone have any suggestions?
