Some time ago I started 'Porting Linux to TT3' project here: http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/PalmTungstenT3
As you can see, some general information on hardware has been collected. It is clear, that kernel can be ported, as linux is working on XScale chips. Of course, there are a lot of other things to do, but to work on other things we need to boot the kernel first. Looking through the web I have found following: 1. http://palmtelinux.sourceforge.net/bootloader.shtml - people here are trying to boot the kernel on Tungsten E. 2. http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET - some WinCE application used to learn the hardware of WinCE handhelds and also to boot the kernel. I would very much appreciate if people with relevant experience will advise me on the following: Can TE bootloader approach be used to create TT3 bootloader ? I mean, the following sequence: 0. Bootloader must be a PNO application 1. Split kernel into 64k pieces and rejoin the later to avoid 64k limit. 2. Setup the hardware properly (interrupts, registers etc. NOT MMU) 3. Move the kernel to the known location in memory 4. Turn off the MMU 5. Start the kernel Second question is, can HaRET source be used anyhow ? I understand that port it to PalmOS is very hard, but, if it will be done, will there any benefit from such port ?
