Hi

I have an old but trustworthy Sharp SL-C750 PDA, running a 2.4 kernel (although I can get it up to 2.6.X if absolutely required) and am looking for an erlang system for this.

I have seen some 2006 references to an "otp-zaurus.tar.gz" on the net, but the package seems long to have disappeared.

Also have seen mysterious references to R10B-8 being available some years ago on the Z as well as some NetBSD/Zaurus packages (currently) available but I don't run this OS due to some features such as power management and USB (needed for the TCP transport) unavailable on the Z version. 

Any pointers to a decent native package for the Z series?

Hi,

You can try to use archive.org to get otp-zaurus.tar.gz - http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://downloads.erlang-projects.org/zaurus/otp-zaurus.tar.gz

Hi

I produced that otp-zaurus.tar.gz back in 2006
I'm still using my zaurus (an SL6000) as a server with erlang
now I use R14B04 from cean 2.0 (site upgrade in progress), archives
availalbes when new site is online, or contact me for a preversion.
you can also chroot a debian with debian's erlang package

Hi Christophe,

I'm really interested on that.
Could you please also post the compilation steps along the tarball?

Regards,
Zabrane

you can give it a try here:
http://cean.process-one.net/downloads/R14B04_linux-arm_full.tar.gz
http://cean.process-one.net/downloads/R13B04_linux-arm_full.tar.gz

the build process is entirely handled by CEAN 2.0 framework
it's available here:
https://github.com/cromain/cean

documentation in progress, it will be available soon.

By the Way,
If there are some people interrested by using Erlang on Cortex-A8 and
Cortex-A9 familly CPU, just let me know.
I daily use it on Tegra2 and soon Tegra3 CPU.
I wonder if it worth maintain that on CEAN.

Can you tell more about process of launching erlang on Tegra?
What board do you use?

>Do you use it on a tablet?
Yes, under honeycomb 3.2, into its own custom chroot
if you need deeper integration in android have a look at
android scripting (it works for python, lua, perl...)
