The following may not be meeting your needs (not sure if you wanted to avoid vi for lack of familiarity or simply preference), but just in case it’s the former (or for newbies that need to know), this is what I’d recommend for connecting to the zaurus for editing (see below for more details on each):
1. grab ssh (again, this and the next two steps may be redundant for you)
2. download puTTY to your Zaurus since it is MUCH easier to begin with vi on a full keyboard IMO
3. change your PC Link to USB – TCP/IP (advanced). Not sure if necessary, but this is how I’ve always had my zaurus configured since I’ve been using puTTY.
4. grab some decent vi guides and start learning the appropriate commands
1) if you’re using tkcROM, you’re all set with ssh. If not, look at the following zaurus devnet thread and put ssh on your zaurus:
http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?...c=6735&hl=puttyhttp://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?...c=4386&hl=putty2) puTTY is a freeware terminal program that will allow for telnet, ssh, and other connections to your zaurus. See the above devnet threads; you can find this easily with a google search.
3) look at this thread in the zaurus devnet forums:
http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?...wtopic=4557&hl=4) the main things that you need to know for vi are the following (off the top of my head):
- open a file with # vi <filename>
- to navigate, use the directional button (NOTE: all commands must be typed when in navigation mode; once in edit mode, obviously typing ‘x’ will place in x in the file)
- to edit data in the file; type ‘x’ to delete a character, type ‘dd’ to delete a line, type ‘i’ to enter edit mode and start typing, type ‘a’ to enter edit mode starting after the character that your cursor is on, type esc (cancel on the z) to exit edit mode
- to search a file, type the ‘/’ then the search chars, then enter ( ‘/ hci_uart <enter>’)
- to jump from word to word (move faster through the file): type ‘w’ to move forward, ‘b’ to move backwards
- to exit and/or save: to exit and save changes, type ‘ZZ’, otherwise type ‘:’ and then: type ‘q!’ to exit without saving changes, type ‘w <filename> to save the file and not exit the file, type ‘wq <filename> to save the file and exit
That may contain mistakes (google a real guide for confirmation!), but that provides 95% of the vi functionality that I use. There are TONS of other commands, but that is the bare essential for editing config files and such. I hope that it is clear and gets you started (if that was indeed your hangup)…
