Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Builder

« on: December 02, 2005, 03:27:48 pm »

So I'm working with the rc12 pdaXrom builder, and I've noticed a lot of the remote download sources aren't available anymore for the packages.

So, here's a little script I wrote to help do a 'make get'

It will try to get from the standard sources, but if they fail, it will get from pdaXrom's rc12 src tree, and re-try the 'make get'

It's helpful for me, and I figured it might be of use to someone else who is using the same builder package..

Code: [Select]

loki pdaXrom-builder # ls -l fetch_sources.sh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 217 Dec  2 12:15 fetch_sources.sh
loki pdaXrom-builder # cat fetch_sources.sh
#!/bin/bash
make get 2>/tmp/error.log
cd src
FILE=`tail -n 2 /tmp/error.log | grep Error | sed -e 's/^.*\/\(.*\)\].*$/http:\/\/212.10.30.205\/rc12\/src\/\1/g'`
wget $FILE
cd ..
echo "restarting..."
./fetch_sources.sh
loki pdaXrom-builder #

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Exchanged Microdrive With Flash Card (c3000)

« on: July 05, 2005, 04:31:49 pm »

If someone has problems with one step, feel free to ask: I will help as good as I can.

Hey.. so the microdrive in my C3000 recently failed.. it's completly fubared.. I've tried booting to console and fscking the drive, I've tried using the system menu to do both kinds of file system check, and I've tried to do a factory reset with a complete disk check.. all of them say the drive is fux0red and can't continue...

so.. I recently got a 4GB flash CF card.. and I tried taking my zaurus apart.. but after getting the back of the case off.. and taking out all of the screws I could find.. I can lift the first board partially off, but it still seems to be connected to something in the upper right hand corner  (assuming the device is backside up, with the hinge side facing away from me.  I didn't want to just force it too much.. so I figured I'd ask someone who's taken one apart already..  Is there some trick to getting that first board off?

Also, could someone please tell me what the default partion sizes and types are for the C3000?  The original drive is totally dead.. so I'm hoping I can just make the proper partitions on the CF flash, format them.. replace the microdrive w/ the CF flash.. and then do a factory reset..

C1000/3x00 Hardware / How Do I Reboot C3000 To Console?

« on: June 09, 2005, 04:09:01 pm »

something messed up on the harddrive and I had to power it off.. when I turn it back on, the kernel boots, mentions the drive should be fscked.. and everything is fine until it gets to the qtopia boot screen.. and then it hangs..

is there some clever way to make it boot just to console mode without trying to load qtopia?

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Sl-c3000 Rom Flashing Procedure?

« on: May 19, 2005, 01:42:09 pm »

Thanks, I've read this and I've still got a few questions.. and the english manual from TRIsoft.. and I've still got a few other questions..

a) do the cacko files need to be in the root of the FAT16 partitioned media.. or in Backup_Files?

 can a NAND backup of my existing ROM be done from the main QPE UI.. or do I need to do one from the reset menu.. the TRIsoft manual was sort of unclear about this with the C3000..

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Sl-c3000 Rom Flashing Procedure?

« on: May 19, 2005, 03:54:30 am »

I haven't been able to find a definitive guide for flashing a SL-C3000 ROM for cacko or some other custom ROM..  and I was hoping someone out there who has done this procedure can give me some pointers..  I bricked my SL-5000D awhile back, and I want to have all the information I can before I do something to this..  can I use a SD card or does it have to be on CF?  Anyone have any other useful information.. links to a guide that I might have missed maybe?  Thanks in advance..

General Discussion / Please Recommand A Gps Cf For My Z

« on: May 17, 2005, 07:04:46 pm »

ps:  i'm planning using it inside my car

i know there's bluetooth one, serial one, and CF one
which one is better? more suitable for my needs?

use a serial one over USB.. then you can place the GPS reciever anywhere in the car.. and put the Z somewhere you can see the display.. also, it frees up the CF slot for like.. say.. 802.11b
