No. I plan to use unused BTUART as an internal serial port. You can get it easily accessible on soldering pads just by adding one resistor array: http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus/www.iral.com/~albertr/linux/zaurus/wireless/ I plan to order that array from Farnell: http://export.farnell.com/vishay-dale/cra04s08322r0jtd/dp/1878553?Ntt=CRA04S08322R0JTD Pads will be then easily accessible on the (unused) Bluetooth module traces. http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=13562&st=360 You can see these PCB traces here: http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus/teardown These images (larger size in click): http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus/pcbtd_mr_t.jpg http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus/pcbtd_ur_t.jpg Here is the datasheet of the chip that Sharp probably planned to use in Akita for Bluetooth: http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus/datasheets/Bluetooth/Mitsumi_WML-C19/ > a can't locate the chip on che C3000 motherboard, have you hot any > photo about this IRDA chip ? do you know exactly where are the TX and > RX pins ? IrDA chip is integrated with the IR LED diodes. It is the chip under the IR-transparent plastic window. It is a top-right-PCB photo ( http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus/pcbb_ur_t.jpg ) at http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus/teardown The chip is marked FU6001 (visible on the large photo). See the datasheet to locate Rx and Tx. It should be pin 6 and 7. You can try whether the chip sets inputs and outputs to high impedance mode when its chip select is not set. If yes, you can repurpose them even without desoldering. > about kernel: which was the working one you had success with IRDA ? I guess it was kernel 2.4.20 (lineo) and 2.6.23 (RP). But I guess that even latest kernels work. If not, it should be easy to fix. -- Stanislav Brabec http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus _______________________________________________ Zaurus-devel mailing list Zaurus-devel@lists.linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zaurus-devel
