[Simpad-general] simpad addon : bluetooth + mmc

[Guylhem A. <si...@ex...>]

Hello

At the suggestion of Werner, I'm posting here an announcement of my
(working) hacks for the simpad : a bluetooth + mmc module. I'm
currently using a 256 Mb MMC. This leaves the CF port free for wifi
cards or microdrives.

More information on : http://www.externe.net/zaurus/simpad-bluetooth/
Please use google cache if it's down because I must do some serious
work on my websiste (including uploading new kernel sources for the
simpad).
It's not difficult to create such a board for your own use - albertr
did it. The hardest is ordering the correct parts, the wiring is
simple:

g

As recently announced on the forums, I did some speed tests and I have
had no corruption when I umount the card before suspend.
Another problem with opie : it can't re-read hidp events (bluetooth
keyboard) after a suspend of if the bluetooth keyboard is connected
*after* opie has started. Everything works fine in console mode,
regardless suspend. I'll try to explore that later on.

Yet with opie, it sometimes refuse to - I then had major corruption.

I'm now considering working on kernel 2.6 and adding apm support to
the driver (to avoid such corruption), or I may first work on the GSM
addon module. I will let you know.
