Sharp PC-Z1 NetWalker / Arm Architecture

« on: March 18, 2010, 05:38:47 am »

I also installed Gparted, thinking to add a Swap file to 16Gb microSDHC card. Gpated installed, but showed no drives whatsoever. I even plugged in an external hard drive, which showed up quickly on the desktop. I refreshed Gparted's devices, but still no drives of any kind.

Did you run gparted as root?

Yes, I tried to run it as "Root".

Do not use gparted, it doesnt run, i have to install, all again.
Its the pleasure of ARM tecnology. I have may problems

Does the directory you are trying to copy the file to exist? If not you have to create it first.

I do not want to crate, because  behind to kernel?
With what consecuences?

In the sentences of the howto, i need to create a directory?

Sharp PC-Z1 NetWalker / Recover Sharp Netwalker

« on: January 22, 2010, 10:35:16 am »

Thanks, but doesn't the original Sharp recovery script only work on the Netwalker itself i.e. is useless if the Netwalker doesn't boot?

It's better to use this version which has been modified to work on any Linux box.

PS: No offense intended, but as you posted this in an English forum - the blog post would be helpful to many more readers if it was written in English.

Thanks, and can you explain the diference, please.

The difference between the two scripts? Simple - as said above:

- original script will only work on Netwalker itself. If Netwalker doesn't boot you cannot use the script.
- modified script will work on any Linux PC, you can still use it when the Netwalker doesn't boot.

As long as the Netwalker still boots you can use both scripts.

Thanks for your aportation, helps at the beguiners to get in linux word

how I can restart Netwalker in an USB stik?
 
well Merlin1, is a too expensive Smartphone, and i can't call with him, i can't install iven  one Skype ?

You're welcome  

1. There's no official way I know of to boot the Netwalker from an USB device. It boots from the internal flash, or from the microSD card if both mouse buttons are pressed at power on. There's a "switch block" in the device supposedly meant to select other boot devices including USB, but the switches are not connected so inaccessible to the user. Here you can see what I mean: http://hitaki.net/diary/images/netwalker_an12.jpg

2. It should be possible to make/receive VoIP calls. As Skype doesn't work*, you may want to try Ekiga (http://ekiga.org/). I haven't looked into any of those though so don't know if they work (well).

*The main reason for this is the developer hasn't yet released a version for standard Linux on ARM and as there's no source code, others' chances to port it are low. There is a Linux/ARM version but it is meant to run on Nokia Internet Tablets and quite old. Unlikely to work on Netwalker. So unless the developer decides to release a version of Skype for Linux on ARM (possible considering the anticipated number of smartbooks), you're out of luck.

All of you are a fountain of sapience, you surprise me every day.

If you see, the boot is very complicated, if you want to touch, you have to open netwalker as your own risk.  
I will try Erika, and will explain here wow it woroks.

The developers hasn't yet reased a version for linux, but in that way .... fo ARM .... never.
IA litle detail... in the box of sharp netwalker, when you buy, they write :  SHARP...mobile internet tool  . They forget to write: for some somethinks, not for all.

I'm very happy to contact both (Merlin1 & ArchiMarK)   a few days ago i can't post here.

Well, Merlin you says that:

"you do not need that on RISC devices. You can change the boot device, that's about it. "  ...  how I can restart Netwalker in an USB stik?

"see the Netwalker as a high-end smartphone"..... well Merlin1, is a too expensive Smartphone, and i can't call with him, i can't install iven  one Skype ?

To one and another  (Merlin1 & ArchiMarK) , thaks for your atention.
