I haven’t made a post in quite a while so I thought I’d summarize what’s been happening in my neck of the woods.
On the Zipit front there has been some progress with OpenWrt…
Recently I was given some older PDA’s that were headed for the landfill. The two I’ve been playing with the most are the Palm T|X and the Palm Tungsten C. The mainline kernel has support for both these devices and I was able to boot Debian squeeze on both with a 3.x kernel using cocoboot. On the T|X I have a gui running with lxpanel and touchscreen working. On the T|C I only have a command line working. Wifi is still a work in progress. I have successfully connected to an access point with the T|X but it loses connection after a short time, and on the T|C I have been unsuccessful even scanning for an access point. There isn’t really any recent work being done on these devices. Most of what I found is from 2007-2009. Some information (and precompiled cocoboot) can be had from http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~miska/ and Marex also has some info.
I have a few more PDA’s (some ipaqs, sony clies, handspring visors) and have no idea about what to do with all of them. Maybe have a contest or something and give a few away?
