Download this version....http://www.bware.it/xcsoar/LK8000alfa9.zip


in the Zip package there is a PDF the explains all.
I got mine working but the 310 I got did not ship with a charger so I
am stuck as well with the trickle charge which is no good.

Downloaded the recommended zip file, which included several different
executables but no PDF. *The Readme file and history files aren't very
helpful in terms of "installation." * After poking around a bit now
that the 310 has enough juice to at least let me navigate around the
system:


- *Doesn't seem to be any way to access the CE shell directly.
- *I copied the PNA executable onto my SD card in the root directory,
but the IPAQ doesn't seem to give me any way to access files on the SD
card (at least not that I could find after reading the skimpy manual
from HP)


I've got to believe there's a way to run the application from the SD
card (i.e. not requiring me to use ActiveSynch to configure and load),
but maybe I'm wrong.


If anyone has access to the instructions for making XCSoar work with a
310, I'd appreciate it.

Put all the files from the latest PNA version into the root directory
of the SD card.


Insert the card into the PNA card slot


Reboot the PNA using the stylus, poking it into the restart hole just
below the mini-USB port


the 310 will boot into the shell


then select the SDMMC folder (you'll need glasses to see it!)


browse down to the SIM or the Flight .exe file and select it


that works for me.

Well, I'm making progress...


Managed to figure out how to get to the CE shell just prior to seeing
your post.


However, I'm now less clear on which version is the "PNA Version". * I
tried the one from the Italian site referred to by Al above, but after
extracting the files to the SD Card and trying to run the PNA
executable, I get an error message that one of the components is
missing. * I tried extracting all files to the root and also
maintaining the original folder names (ie. with XCSoardata) but
neither approach worked.


I am running LK8000alfa9

Thanks to all who responded on and offline. Turns out I had
downloaded the wrong base version, so I was missing a bunch of DLLs
and other config files. Once that got sorted out, I was off and
running.
