Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200 hardware information

Audio connector

This is a standard 4-pin 3.5 mm audio jack. Note, that some 3-pin jacks don't fit inside.

Pin (counding from shield) Function
ring 1 (shield area) 2 pins are there: ground (connects also audio in R), jack presence detection
ring 2 resistance meter (for CE-RH2 remote control)
ring 3 audio out R
ring 4 (spike) audio in/out L

Wired remote control

Resistance meter can work measure arbitrary values. But drivers are ready for CE-RH2 remote control, which uses serially connected resistors with buttons between ring 2 and ground.

You can see detailed schematic in Audiofernbedienung für Zaurus SL-7xx und C1000/C3x00 at www.relei.de.

Button Resistor Resistance
Stop 330Ω 330Ω
Play/Pause 470Ω 800Ω
Next Song 680Ω 1.48kΩ
Volume Up 910Ω 2.39kΩ
Previous Song 1.5kΩ 3.89kΩ
Mute 3.3kΩ 7.19kΩ
Volume Down 10kΩ 17.19kΩ

IO Port

Connector on board is Hosiden TCX3104, connector on plug should be Hosiden TCX3106 (SMT mount, used in Sharp serial cable and craddle) type. Similar third party connector is also available from Five Star Associates, Inc. (cable mount, similar connector is used in most third party cables).

Signal levels are 3.3 V. Serial lines use 3.3 V serial TTL levels, but RxD and TxD levels are inverted (i. e. 0 V instead of TTL 1 {or -12 V}, +3.3 V instead of TTL 0 {or +12 V}).

Pin Function GPIO default direction
1 Not connected (PWR IN(+))
2 Not connected (PWR IN(+))
3 SD (UART nTxD) 99, inverted output only
4 RD (UART nRxD) 102, inverted input only
5 RS (UART RTS) 98 input
6 CS (UART CTS) 100 output
7 DT (UART DSR) 33 input
8 GND (signal GND)
9 Not connected (USB D+)
10 Wake Up 16 input
11 VCC (3.3V power supply, always on, max. 50mA)
12 Not connected (USB D-)
13 INT JTAG nTRST input only
14 ER (UART DTR) 82 output
15 Not connected (PWR GND)
16 Not connected (PWR GND)
18=FG Frame Ground

Power

DC power jack on board is Hosiden HEC3654, compatible with EIAJ-02 RC-5320A standard.

Adapter EA 70S can provide 5V/2A. Backlight may consume up to 400mA, HDD 200mA, the rest of Zaurus about 200mA, charger another 600mA (but with a standard kernel it happens only if the zaurus is turned off), USB without hardware modification 150mA, CF and SD up to say 500mA (in worst case each of them).
