Zaurus Model #?\'s B500 == SL5600, SL5500 == ?

Has quite a few interesting kernels and tools for hacking around with the Zaurus... trouble is, its in Japanese!

If you don\'t understand Japanese, or the Japanese model #\'s for all the different Zaurus models, how can you translate to which file to download ... anyone able to explain what some of those direct-to-model links are, in SLxx00 terms?

(Can I just use a C860 kernel on a 5500?  I guess if I build kernel source for the C860 using patch instructions, it gives me -also- what I need to build a 5500 target too, right?)

Oh, one other thing .. anyone know of other interesting Zaurus kernel hacker sites like this?  I was quite happy to find it, even though its in Japanese!!

5600 -] B500
5500 -] Nothing

You cannot recompile the C860 source for the 5500, it doesnt contain the necessary drivers.

okay ... i don\'t know why the hell i thought Ced\'s Special Kernel docs were giving me what I needed to take care of the 5500, but I guess I\'ll go look for a complete 5500 build kit elsewhere ...
