Wanted: Serial Cable For Zaurus
« on: June 21, 2007, 05:28:16 pm »
I'm looking for a serial cable for a c760/860.
I want to use it to do debugging on u-boot.
I live in Italy.
I can pay with paypal, bank money transfer or postepay card.
I would rather recieve it from within europe (save tax) but if that's not possible anywhere in the world is fine.

Yea but 65 Euro is not a resonable price ... for that price I could make 2 and sell them having profit (well not concidering the time it takes me to actually assemble it since I haveto do that manually).
If I can get at least 10 people wanting one and willing to pay it 33 Euro + shipping I'm willing to:
order the necessary parts for building them (appart from the sharp io port connector),
have the pcb professionally made,
assemple them (appart fro the soldering on the sharp io port) and
ship them to destination.

When recepients gets it he could then share the sharp IO connector with the original usb cable (making it into a usb/serial cable).

If anyone would be intrested in ths then drop me a PM ... if I get 10 or more sustainers for the project I would proceed ;-)

P.S. A note for anyone who might be intrested: optionally tell me wheter you would prefer it to be wired up already as NULL-MODEM or straight. People wanting it only for serial console might like it to be ready for use without a NULL-MODEM adapter.

contact me about the serial cable at oesf (AT) rolf.leggewie.biz.  I think I can help you.  I can provide a few original Sharp cables free of charge for those covering the cost of shipping from Germany.  

Please indicate how your work benefits OpenEmbedded and its derived distributions such as Angstrom.  No private messages via the forum, please.
