Sharp Zaurus SL-C760 Tips

For details on how I localised my C760 see this weblog posting. Also see a posting on externe.net that describes another way of doing the conversion. That posting includes details on how to localise the address book and movie player.

Wireless Lan Sniffing via Kismet

Using Kismet was problematic due to not being able to activate the Wireless CF card without first being connected to a Wireless Lan. This weblog posting describes the steps I took to get it to work.

Installing a development system

To install a GCC cross compiler for developing Zaurus applications see here.

Converting movies

A guide to converting movie files to the format required by the SL-C760 movie player is available here. More tips on settings to use and translations of some of the movie player menus are on this forum posting.

Backup/Restore

For a complete system backup of your Zaurus (recommended when you first get it) and restore see this post.

NAND Backup file for download?

So you didn't do a full backup as outlined above and need to restore your SL-C760? For this you need to download or otherwise obtain a SYSTC760.DBK file and follow the restore instructions above.

If you have an SL-C750 and need the SYSTC750.DBK file you can download it from Conics. A mirror of this file will be available from here soon.
