Core details ∞

ROM:

  • Stock Sharp ROM version 1.01 JP.

Distribution:

  • Lineo Solutions uLinux Linux kernel 2.4.20 built on 2005-Feb-28.

  • Can use other operating systems. (not attempted yet)

GUI:

—

  • The SL-C1000 normally ships with the same software as the SL-3000 and SL-3100, although I’ve heard of subtle differences between the 3000 and 3100 so I’m not entirely sure.
  • Dynamism translated 97% of the Japanese stuff into English. However, some out-of-the-way things are still in Japanese. Some applications are entirely untranslated because it’s not feasible.
  • Many Zaurus programs written for the SL-5500 and SL-5600 models will work fine. Since those earlier models have 240×320 displays, the Zaurus will run its display at 240×320 for these programs. There is a zoom option to make them full-screen, and this can be defined on a per-application basis.
  • Applications written for the SL-3000 and 3100 will run on this device.

  • Fn+shift-c to screenshot. The file is placed in Screen_Files in the Zaurus or on the memory card if one is inserted.

    • FIXME – Determine how this works, and the file format.

  • The FTP daemon has not been enabled by default.
