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/zaurus-sl-c700/sl-c3000.html) are much nicer but would

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.

Hello All, I have a working port of 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

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 did get one student to buy

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

Hello, has anyone tried to get R running on a Sharp Zaurus 5500?

Ah, but the interesting thing is that they are coming out with a 'clam' version like the 5MX. Details are limited at the moment, but that could mean the combination of 5MX usability with a supported linux distro. I am drooling in anticipation. Sounds like a "I've finally finished my PhD and deserve a treat" situation to me :) Dave On Thu, Mar 06, 2003 at 09:17:20AM

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. Regards, Simon

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

...tc. to OpenEmbedded). OpenEmbedded builds now use -soft-float which makes floating point operations something like 10x faster than the previous GCC3.x implementation which was itself faster than the GCC2.95 implementation of the original Sharp and OpenZaurus ROMs. That means, for those of you with Zauruses, that a switch from OZ3.2 (or any Sharp ROM) to the current OZ3.5.2 should produce significant speed increases when using R; perhaps even enough to make it usable/useful? Once I have a fully compiled version I'd be more than happy to run some benchmarks. Another thing to note with regards to u...

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

Here's a list of non-PC hardware I found that supports Vorbis, with links and short descriptions. It's still kind of rough, and I don't have personal experience with any of these things, though where noted, I have gotten email from the company. This is still just a draft. I've made links, and also left the URLs after the headings so it converts to text well. Following the

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 platform dependent? Is there anyway I can shrink

Or rather - the ogg123 seems to run faster than the oggenc. Based on the vorbis toots 1.0_1,3 I've got (on freebsd) a small streaming server which essentially takes the oss/vox audion input; uses the code from oggenc to make a stream and then a bit of apache 2.0 to dole that stream out over TCP to various clients: setup oss /dev/dspW0.0 16 bit stereo 44k1. create ogg/vorbis

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

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
