I am posting here because of the topic of screen flickering in this thread.
By app, I have been able to fix the following problems which I believe are specifications.
Screen flickers in dark places.
The screen turns off in dark places.
Slow response to screen brightness changes.
My device is rooted, I have not been able to test if it works on unrooted devices.

Zaurus - Hardware discussion / C3000 can't update when the microdrive is missing

« Last post by DiTBho on May 16, 2025, 09:13:34 am »

hi
I am developing my own bootloader, supporting
- C1000
- C3000

yesterday I prepared an SD card
- PC partition FAT16
- mkfs.fat

then I copied
- update.sh
- zImage <----- my application

I followed the instruction to enter the Sharp Menu.
As result:
- C1000 perfectly flashed, now it boots my bootloader
- C3000 says it can't update anything "because the microdrive is missing". No option.

I removed the microdrive because it was faulty, the C3K is designed to boot completely from the SD card. I still need to find and buy a replacement for the internal MD.

It's absurd that update.sh refuses to flash because the microdrive is missing ...

Any workarounds?

I know there is a JTAG interface inside the PXA270 SoC.
I don't know if it is connected to a PDA connector.

Any doc?

In particular, I'm trying to figure out what problems there are with

• Flash on Zaurus -> can I erase everything and use the Zaurus Flash (C1K, C3K) for my stuff?
• Suspend/Resume
• PowerCharge
• PowerManagement
• TouchScreen -> too noisy on a SDL application I wrote to take notes -> should I put a software filter into its kernel module?!?
• USB, why is it so slow?!? I get ~1Mbyte/sec on a 10/100Mbps USB-NIC ---> it's not USB2, but rather USB1?!?

I also found a Russian forum that was about Gentoo/Zaurus around 2009.
I see patches for kernels 2.6.22 and later.

thanks!

I am working on a low level bootloader, plus kernel stuff.
Need info, I can't find around.

I will wget and search into logs

Hi, the only developer working on the kernel that I'm aware of is greguu. I don't think there's any active mailing list for Zaurus kernel development, OESF is the only place I know with discussions about it. In the #kexecboot IRC channel on Freenode there used to be lots of useful, although unsorted, info about recent kernel development, there's a log of the channel available here:

https://logs.nslu2-linux.org/livelogs/kexecboot/

I'd suggest to wget those logs and to make local searches there. There were also #alarmz and #voidz channels, though no logs of them are available. Plus the historical #zaurus one for older discussions, logs are here:
