How To Install Oz On Zaurus Sl-7500c

[Leira]

SL-7500C is the Chinese version SL-C750(is it?). i downloaded the c7x0 3.5.3 oz roms, and failed in module check when update. it seems the updater.sh not support module SL-7500C.
1.maybe i can modify the updater.sh to support SL-7500C,  but updater.sh seems not a shell script.
2.or, i can change the module name of of the machine from SL-7500C to C750 in some way, the DM mode or something. maybe this is a prefered way, to avoid the modification of updater.sh everytime update.

how can i install oz on zaurus SL-7500C?  any help will be appreciated.

The updater.sh file is encrypted, however the method is know so you can make alterations and then regenerate it (the file is in the OE metadata, which is used to generate the OpenZaurus binaries, etc.).

The source for the updater happens to be here: https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...ndpost&p=115746 (from the OE metadata). Presumably you'll just need to add to the 'case "$MODEL" in' statement.

What does 'cat /proc/deviceinfo/product' show on your machine (does this require the use of the emergency boot kernel? I presume so, but don't know how you'd get to this off the top of my head).

i modified updater.sh, and updated successfully, thank u.

but, it seems that oz need the model name to config the kernel and environment correctly, gpe and opie all run buggy on my model. still the same problem, how can i change the model name of my machine? or, how can i make a customsized oz rom for my model?

my installed opie has very small icons, is it because of mistake with madel, or just the default setting?

I would post the questions in this thread on IRC channel #oe and on the oe mailing list (oe list in http://www.handhelds.org/email_lists.html)

You can build your own using bitbake and OE: http://oe.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/GettingStarted

But I'd ask about it first and see what needs to be changed. Certainly the 2.6 kernel recognises the machine type automatically so you may need to make some changes there (or RP will do it).
