Hi!
I'm interested in your advance in porting linux to iPAQ 214, so please
keep on informing us on this list! I would like to help, but my
knowledge is probably too small. Anyway, good luck!

Ok, I will try to put the haret relevant things on here as well as a
general update when I have time. I'm discussing the more detailed things
on the arm kernel list here:
http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/lurker/thread/20080312.024921.d72cfbda.en.html
At the moment I'm starting to realise this make take quite some time,
but I'll stick at it in and around my proper work.
I have discovered the PXA310's MFP (Multi-function pin) configuration
system, worked out what it does from the linux kernel sources and have
discovered the iPAQ 214's GPIOs are all in different places to the
Zylonite eval board that I was using as my starting point. This is just
going to take a while of trying to figure out where everything is.
I was also having some difficulty with the weird memory map that the 214
seems to have. I have figured most of that out now, though it's going to
require some odd modifications of haret to deal with properly and at the
moment I cant find a way around booting the kernel partly from video
ram. Doesn't stop the kernel booting, but means you can't read the haret
preloader output, which is annoying for CRC checking etc.
I will post the details of this, as well as some questions on my
original thread a little later on.
Nice to see some other interest in this, do you have a 214?
Oliver
