Just wondering if there are any Zaurus owners out there using there zaurus as a voip phone?? I'm trying to decide which on to buy. The sl-6000 is perfect for phone use from what I've read, but it's not very pocket friendly (http://www.sharpusa.com/images/hpc_SL6000_pic1.jpg) The clamshell models (http://conics.net/shp/pda...

Dear All, I have a working (in so far as NAs are handled correctly) version of R running on the Zaurus. The problem was not ieee 754 compliance but rather the fact that the configure script did not realise that the Z had a bigendian processor. I'll post a link, etc. tomorrow on the Zaurus forum for those who may be interested (http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/) in downloading a copy. Regards,...

...f R on my SL5500. I've not tested the X windowing support yet, but was more concerned about the accuracy of the fp emulation. The following is the result of the test which Stuart Leask recommended I should try: Mandrake 8.2 > x<-NA > is.na(x) [1] TRUE > x+1 [1] NA > 2*x [1] NA Zaurus OZ3 > x<-NA > is.na(x) [1] TRUE > x+1 [1] 1 > 2*x [1] 8.29488e-311 Presumably this is the wrong answer. The question is whether it's the fault of the Zaurus' fp emulation, or some sort of incompatibility with the way R is written. Does anyone know for certain which it might...

...ection sharing using Mandrake Control Center and the wizards I decided to do it all manually. Attached you will find my configuration files which I beleive demonstrated the problem. My PC has two or three NIC: - eth0 connected to my cable modem. - eth1 connected to my hub. - usb0 connected to my Zaurus, this interface is not permanent, it is there when the Zaurus is turn on and plug in the PC through a USB port. But as soon as you un-plug the Zaurus the interface disapear. It was all working fine until I decided to connect my PDA (SHARP Zaurus SL-5500) on the network using usbdnet. Initially...

For what it is worth, here are my experiences. When I first got my zaurus I compiled R version 1.4.0 for the it. It took some time to do, but managed with the skiffclusters at familiar.org. (libf2c was the hardest part). Compilation should be easier now that there are onboard compilers but I haven't tried. I thought this would be neat to have in the classroom. (It d...

I'm using rsync to mirror my Sharp SL-5500 Linux PDA home directory to my Linux desktop over a TCP/IP-on-USB link. I'm running the following command as root on the 5500: /home/QtPalmtop/bin/rsync -av /home/zaurus \ 192.168.129.1::zaurus I'm running the rsync server out of xinetd. I have verified with 'ps' that the server, when it starts, is running as root. The files are being received into a subdirectory of /root. rsyncd.conf looks like this: log format = %h %o %f %l %b log file = /var/lo...

Is it possible for two PDA's to communicate like telephones via SIP channels on a PC running Asterisk? If that is possible, does there exist any applications that can be installed on a Zaurus 5600, which is a PDA with an Xscale processor running on a Linux OS, that can essentially turn it into a softphone? Thanks in advance for any input, Daniel

Hello All, I read in the archives that someone managed to compile R but that there were problems with the fp performance, specifically the handling of NaNs. Could someone please explain the problem to me and how to test whether it is occurring. I have just compiled R for the Zaurus 5500, and want to see whether it works or requires tweaking.

Hello All, A bit of a long one (background mainly), this is really just a request for some ideas. I ported R 1.7.x for use on the Sharp Zaurus (& iPAQ, simpad, yopy, etc.) some time ago and have just ported 1.8.1 but had never quite realised that you actually need to install some packages to make the system useful (I don't use R, I did it as a favour and of course for the fun of it). I use a GCC3.x cross compiler running on an x8...

Hi All, I've recently dusted off my cross-compiling hat and decided to add R to the OpenEmbedded build environment (this is used to build the OpenZaurus/Familiar distributions for the Zaurus/iPAQ amongst other things - I note there's also work underway to add the Psion 5mx etc. to OpenEmbedded). OpenEmbedded builds now use -soft-float which makes floating point operations something like 10x faster than the previous GCC3.x implementation which...

Hello All, The link to the binary & installation instructions (tar.gz binary not an ipk I'm afraid) is as follows: http://students.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/Zaurus/#R It eventually dawned on me that the WORDS_BIGENDIAN define (or lack thereof) was causing the problems (after testing ieee NaN compliance that is). When cross-compiling it's probably fair enough that the configure script can't work out what the endianness should be, however the same thi...

I'm working on a packaging of samba for OpenZaurus (http://openzaurus.sf.net). We build on an x86 system cross-compiling for the Zaurus systems (an ARM platform). The part that is giving me trouble is the code pages. Can I safely compile them with the make_smbcodepage and make_unicodemap on the x86 and then use them on the ARM? Or are the platfor...

Has anybody used anything other than a PC as a source for icecast2? Are PDAs powerfull enough? I know vorbis encoding takes a signifigant amount of CPU power, but I've been able to do it on 4 year old PCs. Does a 206MHz Intel StrongARM 32-bit RISC processor have as much power as a 200 Mhz Pentium? I'm thinking Compaq iPaq, running Familiar Linux and IceS, would make a nice portable

Can PDAs be used as softphones/clients on asterisk? what i wanted to do is to set up 2 PDAs as softphone(client) which allows them to communicate each other through asterisk server(desktop) devices i have: pda compaq model 3680 pda sharp sl5500 access point desktop(asterisk) can i apply my idea on the asterisk? any guides? thanks in advance :) --------------------------------- Do

I recently started using Ogg Vorbis and decided I wanted high-quality files on my desktop, and small files on my Zaurus; but I didn't want to keep switching grip's configuration back and forth. So I wrote ogg2enc, a Perl script which takes the same command-line arguments as oggenc, and runs oggenc twice. The first run gets its command line munged to produce a file at 64kpbs; the second run gets the same co...
