Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 Instruction Manual page 167

my Zaurus SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
16MB of NAND which is a major shortcoming. The later models in this series do not have this
problem anymore and all have 128MB of NAND instead.
Because of that, the pdaXrom version for the SL-C3000 runs completely off the internal MicroDrive
using a feature called pivot root which was originally developed for OpenZaurus. The pdaXii13 Spitz
(Alice) edition of pdaXii13 does exactly that, ie runs completely off the internal MicroDrive. The
pdaXii13 Akita (Sally) edition of pdaXii13 runs off the internal flash memory (NAND) the same way
that pdaXrom beta3 does. pdaXii13 Corgi (Charlie) also runs off the internal flash memory (NAND)
in the same way.
Enhancements
pdaXii13 is based on the pdaXrom C3000 beta2 release which was originally based on pdaXrom
beta1 but was never updated after pdaXrom beta3 was released to address issues in beta1. This
distro aims to update the pdaXrom beta1 based C3000 beta2 release to the pdaXrom beta3 release.
Additionally, pdaXii13 (Spitz and Akita) also includes the new SD card module to support SD cards
larger than 2GB. It also allow the SL-C3000 to be detected as a USB storage device and share the
third partition on the MicroDrive just like in Sharp/Cacko.
Enhancements and fixes discussed in my pdaXrom customisation section have also been rolled into
pdaXii13 release as the default.
Once you have installed pdaXii13, you will have the applications listed further below installed and
customised for the Zaurus. The customisations that have been applied to pdaXii13 differs from the
default pdaXrom beta3 release. There are quite a lot of enhancements made in pdaXii13 full
install. The pdaXii13 base install is pretty much like a bug fixed beta3 for SL-C3100 and SL-C1000
without much customisations nor additional packages installed. Unless explicitly mentioned,
everything that follows is about pdaXii13 full which is heavily customised with many additionally
pre-installed applications.
Installation
The following guide is specific for the SL-C3000, ie. pdaXii13 Spitz aka Alice. Hints on how to install
on other models follow later, however, it is also advantageous to read the Spitz section as some of
it may also apply to other models and the general installation procedure is almost the same with
small variations in the details only.
