Hey,
I went for the GPD Pocket 3, but your needs may not be the same as mine.

Gemini PDA - General Discussion / Gemini PDA replacement
« Last post by covex on October 17, 2025, 03:18:14 am »
Here we are again in 2025 - hoping for better to come when Gemini was released but the Planet Computers seem to go havoc. My Gemini battery is sometimes suddenly dying and its Android is getting too old. So where are you (community) going now? I do not have a time any more to fiddle with devices, need something that works "out of the box". Any suggestions on what could replace the Gemini PDA?

Yeah, and directly filming the LCD was too difficult with a cam because the LCD reflects too much light and it acts as a mirror.

Code: [Select]
PDA ---- serial ---- laptop ---- VGA ---- VGAvideo-grabber
I didn't know this was possible. Too bad it won't be possible to do the same with a video output e.g. showing the Sharp ROM desktop GUI, not enough bandwidth on the serial port for a start...

I believe your bootloader is shown at

v3-rev, is shown at 13:16
Aha, missed it, it shows a bit more of this. Is that clip showing it running on an emulator?

Varti

It shows a serial connection to a C1000 running my bootloader as common application on GNU/Linux (Gentoo 2009, kernel 2.6.24).

The serial connection (115200bps 8data 1start 1stop no flow) was recorded on a GNU/Linux laptop running GNU/screen.

Screen works better than minicom in this case because it offers full terminal support!


Linux filming Linux :)

I have a YT channel, too.
Not yet uploaded a video, only helped a Youtuber, filmed and passed him a video clip.
I think I will upload a video with the new versions of my bootloader.

It keeps getting better and better  :D

Nice that we still have coverage of the Zaurus after all these years, and that your project is also shown! I believe your bootloader is shown at this time in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHZyDh0vyl4&t=887s
